I agree. I just don't understand why there can't be retrospective action for diving/play acting. If players were banned for a game, it would be wiped out almost immediately.
My all-time favourite - I think it was 2 Ronnies:
Customer (Barker): I want some deoderant please.
Foreign shopkeeper with strange accent(Corbett): Ball or aerosol? (pronounced arrrsol)
Customer (indignant): Neither! Its for under my arms!
Or something like that. Not even certain which...
The problem is 11+. Its just not right to determine a childs acedemic ability at that age and have their whole future dependant upon that determination. In village primary school I went to, my entire year failed it. Was the entire year thick? Unlikely - or maybe the school wasn't very good...
You take a bit of a chance, but you're well protected if you buy through paypal on ebay. You need to make sure that its been properly wiped, which releases it from its former association with an apple_id. If you buy one that still has that association, it may well have been nicked - its...
Those radio codes are as worthless (or worse than worthless) as locking wheelnuts on an old car. I liked the original Renault Laguna approach. It had a cover that you could flip down over the radio/cassette to keep it away from prying eyes. Therefore, if you left it open, people could see...

Re. protected NCD and in fact any insurance product.... They are offering you this product to make a profit from you. If they are making a profit from it, that involves you giving them more money than they give you. It is therefore a bad deal.
Swindon has plenty of things that'll get you, but this was in the Caribbean :) She was lucky actually - it turned out that it had administered a 'dry bite'. Those things are poisonous as hell in the Caribbean too. I rushed her straight to hospital.
My daughter was bitten on the tongue by one of these, that was hiding in a snorkel...
Edit - to increase the yuk factor - they are about 6 inches long.
Well exactly - I'm sure if you play their casino, they love having you as a customer. I did do other small goal-scorer bets too. I hadn't had a problem either - until yesterday.
No. Little point I suspect. They can ban who they want according to the t+c's you sign up to. It's a business decision - they are losing money by having me take advantage of these offers.
