>>Too true. Especially when I switch on my Vodafone and the message "How are you?" appears. It's not in the least interested in how I slipped on the hill, on wet chalk, and, being surrounded by nettles, blackberry bushes, prickles, thistles, etc, (it's a jungle out there!) was not able to put out my arms to break my fall and thus landed full on my sacro-coccyx and was left crying in agony and thinking I'd need to be air-lifted off the hill, and ... See, now your eyes are glazing over :-)

>Yeah. I love it when my ATM thanks me. Frankly, I don't think it's being sincere.

I sincerely think it isn't frank with you either.
