We are the pensioners, we were the core of PF for years til it all went a bit pear shaped.  We need the footfall here.

It was my birthday last week, I've had a weekend away in Leicestershire at a lovely spa, with my daughter and daughter in law and some friends.  Fabulous place, we've been going for quite a few years, it's a real treat.  Unfortunately the facial, lovely as it was, hasn't knocked thirty years off! 

Back to normality (whatever that is) now, but can't complain.  Had some blood results, I'm no longer pre-diabetic  :yahoo: and the postie brought me news of a small win on the Premium Bonds  :yay:

Freddie lost his dentures down a gap on Brighton Pier
They were Granny's once he recalled and so he shed a tear
They landed on Sally's head as she was passing by
And took a bite out of her ear which made poor Sally cry
She thought she'd met a cannibal and ran away in fear 😰

Today I sorted out a new Will .. I also set up Power of Attorney.... Just in case.. Bloody costly..
I believe it is worth sorting out .. It can be a damned nuisance for anyone trying to run another's finances..

Has anyone else on here set up Power of Attorney..?

Quote from: JBR on Today at 03:52:14 PMOh, I do!
(No I don't, in fact I wish you'd post more on this site, especially as I have resolved never to visit the 'mother ship' again after his nasty restrictions he has imposed on me.)

Quote from: klondike on Today at 02:44:10 PMThere is a contact us link in the Amazon page about their bot so I sent them this...

When I investigated why my forum running on a small Lightsail instance had gone completely down the pan I found it was your bot overloading the server. I have put an exclusion in robots.txt for it now but rather than annoy my users another day waiting for you to pick that up I have now  excluded you via htaccess. If I remove that htaccess exclusion tomorrow will the bot's first action be to read robots.txt and go away or will I have to put up with it annoying all my users for longer?

Quite why you think Alexa would be interested in the ramblings of a bunch of geriatrics like us is entirely beyond me. Your bot seems to be about as useful as Alexa's replies. Initially I thought I was being targeted for telling the thing that reading a year old web page didn't constiture news.

I'm not holding my breath.


Oi!  I'm not a geriatric!
