My pet peeve is then/than.

Reading a sentence like "I would rather eat toast then cereal for breakfast" means YOU EAT BOTH! Preferably toast before the cereal, but nevertheless you eat both.

Like loose/lose it seems to be a mainly American thing, possibly down to accent or as said earlier that damned predictive text.

I hate people using "should of" for "should have" - and all the other derivations. Should of/could of/would of etc etc is not english....Drives me bananas

We have six paying customers with the surname Riley on our books. Three of these are long-term customers but none with the first name Peter.

Might be worth starting a thread just for 'Comment of the Week' :)

Not sure what he meant by "max weight calls", but if he bothered reading the manual he would have read, However, just as an expensive set of golf clubs does not improve your golf swing on their own, using specialist software does not guarantee you profitability.

So many fake profiles on Facebook. I used to admin my missus beauty related business page and sometimes take a look in now even though deleted Facebook ages ago, just full of attention starved weirdos. She was selling prom dresses the other day that she needs ridding of, told her waste of time using the local selling groups. On Saturday night had some strange messages saying would like the dress from some guy, mentioned his partner was ill but he'd like to come around to try it on! :lol: Fake profile picture of a car, told her to say send his phone number so can sort out, knew he wouldn't send it and he replied saying can't we just sort out over messenger? :lol:

Offer in person or on the phone to speak to these trolls and they just melt away, they say anything just for attention online.

This is sometimes a funny side to these trolls but recently my local pub was nearly put out of business by automated trolls who bombarded their FB page, slagging off their food and customer service. Their food sales dropped by 35% in a month and they couldn't understand why.

After getting the Police involved it turned out to by a previous Chef who was sacked after petty cash went missing.

I see it's been deleted now. Tony is such an idiot, he has so much to hide and I have absolutely nothing to hide, so why would you keep antagonising others in that situation? It's beyond idiocy. It's up to individuals on their own how they try and portray themselves, they can bear the consequences of that individually. But you have to draw the line when they keep defaming others to cover their tracks.

Yeah you'd think he'd keep his trap shut but the comment that really made me laugh was how he claims to avoid PC by losing on BF but winning on Betdaq, Matchbook and the bookies

Ah if it were that easy Tony

Basically it was Peter is a fraud because he never shows real trades and because its all just a way to sell Bet Angel subscriptions.

Bit stupid of him, if you're up to something shady you usually keep your head down and avoid attracting unnecessary attention not craving it. That's kind of like him thinking "if I can't do it no one can"
