Since my birthday, my tolerance for fools - thin as it was - has completely evaporated.
and since I can firmly be a fool as well - I've completely lost patience with myself. I had a truckload of rants built around hairdressers, bosses, clients, recruitment agencies and web rip off merchants - but I will absorb those into my brain and save you all from them.

Instead, I will tell you that I have a new cell phone. It's pretty and its silver and it has a electric blue backlight on the keys. Its a Nokia something-or-other and I have to say, that orgainising it was so simple, it made a very nice change to my week. I also ran into Mags and Marion trying on hulking great diamond rings and I also have to note that diamonds suit us all !

Hi Michelle
Sorry about that.
We have recorded that we sent 3 emails to you requesting permission to quote you.
Obviously between what we asked for and what we thought we had permission for was not the same (ie, When I placed your quote on our site, I assumed that one of our other staff had received back permission from you. Hence why we put the reference to your website etc as I assumed we had permission when I put the quote on our site.)
Our sincere apologies for this, as you are quite right, we would not have intentionally done this, as it is not ethical.
I have removed your quote.
Sorry about that.

Warm regards
Simon Cope
