Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 03:45:55 PMYes I used birthday numbers. I still carried on occasionally getting lucky dips but stopped completely eventually.

I never did any good with premium bonds and gave up with them after they insisted on probate for my father's when I was doing the executor job on behalf of my mother. Nothing else required it for the surviving member of a married couple. I'd had some since I was 9 plus more as an adult and never won a penny piece.

I'm much the same as you.  I gave it all up, as well.

I used to do the Lottery,  and had some premium bonds,  and even did that street-lottery thing, too,   but got fed up keep paying out and never getting anything back.

I spent the cash on books and a hat
Cost me a fiver ~ what d'you think about that!
For just a fiver,  that's not bad

I'll sit on the bench and have a natter with you Scrumps. 
We could even have a sarnie and feed the ducks if it gets a bit warmer.

I would hope that I would never get 'sucked in' by a scam..
I often get US Army Officers wanting to be my friend on Facebook.. They even have photo's ..
Always a white guy..  Apparently they use profiles of others..

Poor women..  But stupid..

That's exactly what the pensioner got,  an ex-army officer.    It's a robot.

I don't know what that ad  was on about,  but I saw in today's paper that they are taking the famous  'Jagua'  cat  off the front of their cars now, and putting some sort of  curved, geometric 'J' badge  - (that apparently looks more like a handbag clasp)!
A prancing cat will appear on the side of the car instead.

Yesterday at 11:34:59 AMI looked at it, but just in case they ask for money I just ignore it!

Thanks JBR,  but I didn't seem able to ignore it,  as I couldn't get rid of that message without closing the whole site down?   What did you do?

Well, if you can't be remembered as outstandingly good,......

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 12:45:05 PMThe other big deposit coincidentally lies in the direction the Russian army is trying to head (but with little and very costly success). Clearly unrelated of course as they are just protecting themselves from NATO and the Russian speakers they are shelling the shit out of in the Donbas from Ukrainian Nazis.

Russia protecting themselves from NATO?
By invading a non-NATO country which agreed not to join NATO if they were simply left alone?
Perhaps I have misunderstood.

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 12:38:02 PMDid you read the story in the link? That is a biological woman.

Link?  

If it really is a biological woman, my references to those two aspects of her body still stand.  I suppose that it is possible that some women do possess a body which is not typically female in those respects.
I stand corrected.

I think it must be quite clear now that Labour are intent on the destruction of this country, though I'm not sure what they hope to gain by it.
