I had money in my mind on your or one other poster in particular to pick up on that and take it the wrong way, say something shitty or just generally be negative about it. Wishing people a pleasant day is just being nice.

Note: I don't finish emails with it, nor do I start emails with 'hope you're well'.

It's condescending crap. you don't give a flying whether I or the other people that read this, have a fantastic or anything day. It's just crap, like the bloke you bought your coffee off this morning saying the same.
Another AmericaniSation I despise.

Cool.

I tell colleagues to have a good evening or enjoy the weekend etc. It's the same thing, just that you're ungrateful and unpleasant enough to rebuff someone willing or trying to be nice. All of which is entirely your problem, not mine, you snowflake.

That's the point though, you aren't being sincere about it. Words are meaningless, it's actions that make differences snowflake.

And let's face it, that chip on your shoulder for being relegated this season..... ;-)

Words aren't meaningless at all, that's a silly thing to say and it's pretty rude to suggest that I wasn't being sincere. How do you know the level of sincerity behind something typed? How do you know how sincere I was being when I offered wishes that everyone would have a fantastic day?

You just want to be upset and offended at things for the sake of it. I can't stop that happening, it's your choice and your problem.

In future though, I won't bother.

In total sincerity: I hope you have a bang average afternoon and evening, not good, not bad, just really really average.

Scampi twirling it as usual.

You don't though, you don't give a flying whether I have a "bang average afternoon and evening, not good, not bad, just really really average".

You just don't.

You think people don't read between the lines?

Stop trying to pretend you care about me or others when your previous posts against me and a load of others have been toxic.

Not advocating banal pleasantries but if they wind you up to this degree perhaps you need a dose of chill the **** out before you have a heart attack. :lol:

I'm not busy. Waiting to start my new job (next week hopefully). Weather has finally improved and it's 24 degrees and blue skies today. Might pop to the pub for a cheeky pint. :cool:

Busy as never before but that's because they asked me to come here and develop foreign markets and this is what I did to extend. Vietnam, India, Singapore, Malaysia to some extend Qatar, KSA and Kuwait. Market in UAE dreadful and I don't see it recover anytime soon. Good people are being replaced with bad people for less money.

Also, trying to finally stabilize my own business, so yes, 14-15 working hours per day sort of norm for me nowadays.
