Finding out there are people charging for Therapy dog visits!During a visit a lady alarmed at the amount of time we had spent chatting while her autistic son laid alongside Bailey stroking his head asked how much the visit had cost. Surprised at this because while I often get offers of a donation no one has ever offered to pay. It seems her usual Therapy dog man charges £50 an hour with a minimum of 2 hrs for the first visit + travel. She gave me his number and we had a brief chat, I say brief he hung up on me!This lady had been saving since Christmas for sons visit only for this guy to let her down twice, I’ve learnt enough about autism to know that could cause what I often hear called a meltdown. We spent a couple hours talking her son, the dogs, the support we get from you guys basically whatever she wanted and told her the money she’d saved to buys themselves something nice and to contact me next time.16

Forgetting after a few peaceful months what a nightmare it is to live near a secondary school during term time.... do ANY kids walk to school any more?1

The Purple Bricks ad where the lusting estate agent woman is ‘virtually’ (on a laptop) perving at at a bloke in the bath, whose head and chest you can see, You can tell she’s perving because she moves closer to the camera and gets all excited.
No way would that be allowed if a bloke estate agent was looking at a woman in the bath with only her head and knockers showing. Although it would make for a better advert.

One wrong click on Amazon and you're a fully signed up Prime member with direct debit up and running.
... I noticed that Prime membership had been added to my order, so I cancelled it before completing - but still too late - as email already waiting in the inbox congratulating me.
Hunt the thimble time then, looking for the way to bail out.
Maybe I'm naive, but never really considered that they'd act on information before you press the send button (metaphorically speaking).

Let run it’s course but remove your payment card details they soon cancel it. I had all our dogs signed up with separate email addresses and got almost a year of free music. 😉Raith_C_Chattonell said:One wrong click on Amazon and you're a fully signed up Prime member with direct debit up and running.

You won't be the first or last. This happened to me some time ago and I'm usually savvy with this type of sign up, but still got caught. Managed to get out of it but had to do some digging. Wouldn't touch them with somebody else's barge pole.

Starting written sentences with “I mean...”I get why we do it verbally, but writing it down? It’s utterly redundant. Of course it’s what you mean, you’re the one writing it.0

For my sins, I watch Tipping Point every evening, and it amazes me the number of contestants that think it does not matter when you drop the counter in the machine. They drop it at the wrong time, keep getting riders and then moan that the machine do not like them, or they are being unlucky.....no you dope, watch and you will see, it is important to drop the counter at the right time and you will rarely get a rider.1

I remember as a kid i loved the arcade...especially the machines with the coin drops.

It has been about ten years since I went to an arcade, but then they had two pence and 10 pence waterfalls, (that is what they call them)orpingtonRED said:

100%, I was unfortunate enough to watch a bit of Loose Women once on ITV, if 4 x blokes had been sitting behind a desk talking about women the way the lady's were talking about men all hell would have broken loose. They even had a Butler in the buff on there and they were all commenting on his chest and abbs. Imagine if 4 x blokes were all ogling and commenting about a girl in a bikini.cafcdave123 said:
