Bodyform, Well Done! Best Response Ever To A Facebook Comment!

Good Google: I google ’email monkey’ and it gives me MailChimp, which is exactly what I’m looking for as I remembered their logo being a monkey and they help you send emails.

Took .24 seconds, job done.

Then I continued my b*tching about how one site had insulted me by suggesting ‘time’ as a source of relief.
