Online Banking

I've had a word this morning as I found the three banking sites I visited were all in treacle mode - perhaps it's just the season, I've noticed a lot of online shopping sites are a bit sluggish...

HSBC, Nationwide, Cahoot, ING and Barclaycard all flying for me this morning.

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 10:14:12

Yup, they're much better than when I checked half an hour or so ago...

Inactive · Dec 11, 2008, 10:15:33

There's your answer, don't get up so early..

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 10:16:17

I wouldn't have done but Sue wanted to get out shopping.

Give her a key to the door and tell her to leave quietly.

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 10:25:26

If Sue has to get up, I have to get up.

Further training required.

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 10:34:01

Give me time, I've only been working on her for 37 years.

Presumably you won't get breakfast otherwise? Just tell Sue that the bacon doesn't cook itself and she should be more considerate of your needs!

Simon · Dec 11, 2008, 22:09:05

Isn't bacon also supposed to be good for black eyes?

Lance · Dec 11, 2008, 22:59:20

Thats actually a myth, Simon. Its the sausages, mushrooms, hash browns, black pudding, fried bread, egg, tomato and beans which go along with the bacon which is bad for the black eyes!

Simon · Dec 11, 2008, 23:57:03

Oh, you've made me hungry now, Lance!

Rik · Dec 12, 2008, 09:39:57

Not to mention me.

I have to add a sad 'those were the days'...

Sue once did get up and cook me egg, chips, bacon, sausage, mushrooms and beans when I had a 4am start. I'd consider getting up that early for another breakfast like that.

Simon · Dec 12, 2008, 09:59:09

I haven't had a breakfast like that for as long as I can remember, but it's more due to time issues than health.

Rik · Dec 12, 2008, 10:13:38

In my case, it's the other way round.

Sebby · Dec 12, 2008, 14:40:40

I rarely have a cooked breakfast, but I enjoy it very much when I do.

Rik · Dec 12, 2008, 14:43:51

Do it while you can, Seb, before they tell you it's too unhealthy.

Sebby · Dec 12, 2008, 14:44:50

They told us that a long time ago.

Rik · Dec 12, 2008, 14:47:49

But were you listening?

Sebby · Dec 12, 2008, 14:49:44

Nope, I do as I please.

Rik · Dec 12, 2008, 14:50:27

So did I at your age.

Only start to listen when you have to.

I never eat breakfast, I have elevensies, I have usually been awake at least an hour by then.
