Well - again I'm just so sorry no-one took me up on it. Anyway - better stop here, I sense Brendan's disapproval.

Apologies - I read it wrong - blame the drink - Why don't they have the option you want first instead of fifth - option one being 'If you want to talk to someone...?

Oh, you mean my tagline! You can cheat with most of those systems, and just press 0 and go straight to an operator

This taglines's even better, but I suspect that only those that work in IT will get it

Hmm - see what you mean - so you rig a demo then show it to people then say this is technology and then they buy it then it doesn't work because the only one that does work is the one on the demo you showed. I'm going for a lie down - that hurt.

Re: Oi!

Err, slightly ever so complicated. Two threads, one which mentions Oban life boat where you didn't place bet. Another which mentions RNLI which discusses terms of bet, but no handshaking or agreement that bet is on appears to have taken place.

Might need legal advice on this one - where's Observer when he's needed.
