Rosy, Dead Calm spooked me too.

A very good actor ( handsome too)

I always think of him as Reilly. Great series, and the scene of him standing in the snow under tree, knowing he would be shot - such a sad scene. Plus I loved the music!

Dead calm was a great film, made me jump out of my skin!!

Very sad, he was so talented.

I'll second that, very sad news. He will be very much missed.

That two-tone green/blue gunge really stings your eyes.

I feel your pain 😀

It was the same with the Southport girls murders. Blamed on migrants, so huge riots all over the country at migrant hotels, costing us millions, when the perpetrator was actually someone born in Wales.

Yes, I think by saying up front that the relevant people are white, or English born, or whatever, it shuts down the stirrers who wind everyone up, then slope off into the background. It’s much easier to stir up a mob, whether justified or not, than it is for the police to calm them down. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if these rent-a-mob yobs who go from town to town looking for trouble are being financed somehow. Where did the Just Stop Oil mob, who seemed to have no jobs to worry about, get the money to buy and run their DIESEL Range Rover to get to the locations?

There are so many comments like this online, and if it doesn't mention white then everyone assumes they're not, which I think is pretty reasonable and probably accurate. So, saying they're white, if they are, is of little use in my opinion, given statistics. Mentioning they're white on three occasions may stop trouble starting, but not saying it on 14,000 occasions only helps those who want to cause trouble. The answer is, tell the truth, then deal with every trouble maker, not very very few. CCTV is there and it's clear to see who's involved. 99.9% of the time anyone in a riot is involved and should be arrested.

The thing is, this thing where they say if a suspect is white or not has been brought about recently by a certain man with the alias TR (real name SY-L). If you recall the Epping (I think it was there?) stabbing, he got his supporters whipped up in a frenzy to attack migrant hotels in the area (and make life pretty difficult for the other people who lived round there too), making out like the guy who did it was a migrant (which he wasn't). So the police started saying a suspect was white in order to stop that kind of dangerous rabble-rousing nonsense. I think they're wise to do that in the current, often quite violent, climate. There are too many people about, including politicians, out to cause trouble nowadays.

I noticed my phone was blocking PMP when in the hospital, though my ipad was fine on NHSWifi, and I got the message about it being blocked as a Gambling site. I tried reporting it as a Free site therefore not gambling but got some lame excuse back that it was beyond their control. At least I got a reply - maybe if others report it too it might get unblocked.

Are you talking broadband network or data network?

I have recently switched to EE broadband from Plusnet (as Plusnet no longer offer Home phone), with no problems. My phone data network is Lebara, and again, no problems.

Many EE customers have the same issue. We have had many emails enquiring about it. I'm afraid that all we can do is tell you that EE have a help page about Parental Controls (https://ee.co.uk/help/broadband/getting-started/using-parental-controls#article-heading-6) and another about 'Web Protect' (https://ee.co.uk/help/broadband/getting-started/web-protect)

One or perhaps both of those should help you to get back onto PMP on your phone.

Hi Beth, I haven't seen the Lucifer story but I think the Plantagenet age offers a bit of scope for tale weaving. Battles, adventures, tyrants, (depending on your point of view) intrigue, treachery, fame & infamy.

On all games sites they mostly have one short video ad before each game loads, none during play, but some like Outspell/Scrabble annoyingly have one after every single move.

Sorry mils, I'm afraid that the games on our Games & Puzzles page are provided for free by the external game providers/companies because they are funded by ads. Without the ads, they would want to charge us for featuring them on our site and/or our members for playing them.

Sometimes you get an ad, there is no warning so you think you are playing and because of that the link opens TWICE! You go back and wait for the 'skip' to appear. Then directly you get back to the game it happens again without playing anything.... It does seem excessive.

Please remember that the ads enable this site to be free for us.

No ads = No site!

Yesterday definitely yes far too many

Today disagree slightly maybe bcos keep nodding off 🤷‍♀️ but I want to play my games so still annoyed either way

Apologies not necessary - they're not compulsory.

The only surveys created by us at PMP are the ones which reveal the winning postcode of the Survey Draw. Anything outside of this is a survey made by another company. You will notice the different URLs indicating an external survey.

Sometimes you'll be screened out of an external survey because you do not meet the demographic requirements. These could be anything such as age range, gender, location, employment status, where you shop etc. Or it could be that the bracket that you fit in to has had enough responses. The external surveys like to have an even amount of answers from each and each bracket type does not get completed at the same rate.

As the external surveys are advertised across many sites, there could be many people completing the surveys at once, potentially hundreds, and it is possible that your bracket could reach its quota at any point, while you are in the middle of the survey or even at the end.

Our FAQs explain that we can help those who reach 80% completion or more, if they email us the details:

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/89-surveys

Please email us with the details of this external survey and we can help you.

There's no obligation to do them anyway, although you only have to let admin@pickmypostcode.com have the full details with a screenshot if possible. If you've completed over 80% they will credit the full amount you advise.

They're certainly not scammers, likely the demographic filled as you were completing it.

In that case…I understand play-doh can be cooked to harden it. Please let me know the results…

I knew I should have shown some indication on this one. Serious or not, I always appreciate a sarky comment as I do the same. (If you can't take it, don't give it). Anyway, no, it was a joke.

@Alley1940. What! 4 weeks to consultation from optician referral, 8 weeks to op. NHS at SpaMedica. One health do knees & hips, NHS. Wait time was only 8 days from GP referral to initial consultation & two weeks to the first knee. The procedure for the second knee was booked on discharge, six months in between the ops. A lot must depend on your GP & the availability of 'private' facilities which undertake NHS work. I'm surprised your optician didn't recommend a private clinic rather than submit you to such a long wait. My optician said the wait would be the same but it was the obligatory 16 week wait between the ops which she thought was unfair on patients who had no issues. Unlike me of course!

Two years is quite common. I had to wait two years and 3 months for my first cataract operation.

Nick - is this one of your serious posts, or are you being too subtle for my brain? I immediately thought 'firm it up' with some associated images (not pretty!) but then realised it could be genuine, in which case you wouldn't appreciate a sarky comment.

Omg ‘phew’

seriously help me! help you..

had me thinking there for a monumental moment and was to-ing and fro-ing for a while but then the ‘mind’ kicked in and now it’s on the ball

Perhaps the operation is to get it out.

After waiting for two years, even a date must be a relief but two years is a very long time. When will society devise a system where people get healthcare when they need it? If there has to be a waiting list for something surely medical treatment is not it.

I don't understand where the plasticine comes in.

😂To all

@Redz. Very clever! 🤣🤣🤣

Yes - that worked for me too Rosy.

The caesars word took a while till I said it out loud 😀

That's a great play between words and Latin numerals! Thanks for sharing.

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

IMAGINE THE SHOP ONLY HAD XXL AVAILABLE, HE’D HAVE TO TAKE A PAIR OF CAESARS TO THEM 😉

Hi Em, thank you.

Hi DeeDee, welcome to our site. We Administrators who do the moderation only work weekdays, so I have approved your comment now.

Sorry to hear that you didn't receive our verification email. I would suggest that your Email Provider blocked it, incorrectly thinking that it was spam. Looking at our inbox we have had a lot of people experiencing the same issue over the weekend, so you are not the only one whose Email Provider blocked it. Unfortunately it is out of our control.

Nice to see you, to see you...

In my bedroom I have a mini set of drawers in which I keep my makeup - each drawer is a different colour, like a rainbow. Before my cataract operations, it just looked like a blur of colour. Now when I wake up each morning, and it is the first thing I see, each one is a distinct and bright, vivid colour. Every morning I look at it and think - WOW! It is a small and silly thing, I suppose, but it always makes me smile.

I agree with you Grumpy - the clearness and colours are fantastic after cataract operations. I can beat you though - after having to wear glasses all day every day for 57 years I don't need them now even for driving.

Glad to hear that you'll soon have your right eye done. I hope that once that eye has recovered that they can give you glasses to help with the focus.

Kat, I hope that your next op goes smoothly.

I can affirm the procedure is, or should be painless. I was worried about water (?) running into my ear as they flush out the lens. I'm a slow mender so still not 100% &my op was 4th Feb. They are still going to do the other eye on 30th July. I'm managing to read without glasses & I've worn them all the time since 1984 so, although the new lens is only correcting my distance vision I think it's been a great improvement. Good luck GG. I'm sure you'll be glad you did it!

I thought they gave you drops that paralysed the eye and kept it still and open. It probably wouldn’t work on the rest of your body though!

They have trouble giving me laser treatment I have to have GA because I can't keep still.

Great new Grumpy grandad. I hope the op on your right eye goes smoothly.

A Nick Name, trust you.

It's good to know it's painless as one day I might need it. Last appointment I got for a check up, the letter arrived at 7pm ish on the day I should have been there. Before I got round to contacting them I got another letter saying I'd been referred back to the opticians so would need to see them to be referred again. I wonder, do they take it out to operate on it as I'd like to watch and don't want to go cross-eyed trying to do so.😂

Good to hear Grumpy grandad.

I will have another look, as I noticed a slight limp this morning, but I still have a feeling it’s a ‘click’ in the neck that fixed it. My osteo used to treat dogs for free as well, as long as he already treated the owners, and he did our GSP Abbie, after she put her back out wrestling with husband and twisting over awkwardly. She adored the osteo, and he fixed her in three sessions.

Years ago we had a Bearded Collie. Very hairy feet. We were constantly on the lookout for grass seeds. We caught them every time but once. His leg was bothering him so we took him to the vet. He found a small hole deep between his pads. Followed it upwards and dug in to find the grass seed right at the top of his leg.

Maybe after the first attention he got he decided to fake injury to get more.

Glad to hear he seems to be OK now.

I hope that he continues to improve.

I'm glad he seems better Beth, hope whatever it was doesn't recur.

He’s been limping for over a month, but two visits to the vet couldn’t find a cause.

Could have been an insect bite or nettle sting, or bramble thorn or something stuck between the toes.

Had similar problem with my car once touring Scotland. A wee stone was squealing & grating in one of the brake drums, parked somewhere quiet & removed them one by one & spun each wheel by hand, found nothing but it vanished.

This is just a tongue-in-cheek post, no need to get so worked up Fidsta. Everyone knows that not all cyclists do these things, but that a percentage do. Many of them young people. They also know that there are many who took a cycling proficiency test, which has now developed into "Bikeability" and that they know how to cycle on the roads properly and safely.

I used to cycle (transport only, not sports cycling), but that was when traffic was civilised - when you could ride a bike without hands and not be a danger to others because the roads were quiet, when you could read a book at the same time (I only rode into a car once) and catch up on late homework, when you could ride across the open heath with a crosswind hurling you sideways and the cars gave you room… don’t think I would risk it now, although the exercise would be good for me.

@Fidsta - Road tax isn't a bad idea but insurance would be better

My brother , his wife & both of their sons & ladies are off to watch the tour de France. The males ride cycles for pleasure & exercise but get annoyed by cyclopaths as well.

Don't forget to dress like a ninja at night and wear a Deliveroo backpack.

The Tour de France shows off our beautiful countryside and brings much needed revenue into rural communities. My friends are keen cyclists and camped out for 2 days, to see one of the local legs, a few years ago. The bikes went past so fast they didn't even have time to blink! Fidsta, are you trying to say that only right-leaning people can ride bikes? I don't mind which way people lean as long as they are not trying to mow me down when I am out for a walk.

Fidsta. A cyclist I presume? I really don't see Chris' post or any reply tarring everyone with the same brush. I was once a cyclist and would like to be again, but the posts couldn't bother me as I'm responsible. There are rules throughout life, anyone who breaks them deserves to be lambasted, that doesn't mean it applies to the innocent. And so many cyclists certainly are not lambs.

I see nothing left leaning or political in these posts so I must disagree with you on that score, neither is tarring a whole group on a subject that is part of modern society.

Right, I've tried to ignore the obvious left-leaning political posts here but I can't let this one go without some ranting...

This one just takes the biscuit for tarring a whole group for the transgressions of a few. Shame on you ALL for agreeing so quickly.

How about we do a post about ALL pensioners deliberately driving slowly during peak hours?

Perhaps chain ALL dogwalkers at home because they all leave their poo bags hanging in trees?

I'm surprised there wasn't a mention of "road tax" too!

It used to be nice and relaxing here.

All standard cycleopath behaviour. Don't forget to wear the safety helmet to cause injuries to pedestrians.

Agree with all the above.

Points 1,2 & 3 are sadly part of life these days.

great post!

Many a true word & no jesting involved!🤬

Kenny. That is definitely one of your better ones.

Very funny all.

😄😄😄

🤣

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

I HOPE YOU FIND A KEEPER WHO WON’T READILY SAY TAR-TAR 👋🏻

:-) :-)

If you want to practise the scream, better warn your neighbours first.

Be careful or that awful woman will pop out from behind the mirror and drone on about your gums.

Please take the time to check out our Rules (https://pickmypostcode.com/rules/) and FAQs (https://help.pickmypostcode.com/).

If you had taken the time to read them when you registered, as the registration process asks you to, then you would know that you need to keep your account active and if your postcode comes up and your account is active, then you'll see a collect button appear.

The red oval with the prize draw amount in it will turn green and it will say "Claim".

One of the most asked questions so it's on the front page of the FAQ.

help me! Hilarious!

help me! I don't, those dates were just plucked out of the air as a joke, I had no idea of the significance but I now see what my sharp intellect has managed to do even without being aware of it.

ANN you can stop using my details right now 😮🤣🙄

He probably didn't.

I worked in an office & three of us (20 people) had the same birthday except for the year.

Suelero. Snap! I do the same as you. I don't change the details enough to mess with their demographics but I do change them enough that they couldn't find me.

ANN - AI says, "If you were born on April 8, 1960, your Western zodiac sign is Aries and your Chinese zodiac sign is the Metal Rat. As a natural pioneer, you are known for your bold leadership, while the Metal Rat influence gives you sharp intellect, immense charm, and deep financial intuition"

You're right. You shouldn't use those 😈

There's no way I'd use the 8th, or April, or 1960, as these days they only need your date of birth and they can find out so much about you.

I don’t use my actual date of birth in surveys. I only changed the month so easy to remember. I don’t use my own postcode either. I do on here but not on surveys. The one I use is just down the road so not too different.

You don't have to give your real date of birth!! Pick one that puts you in a similar age bracket (for their demographic statistics) - I don't think it matters if a company thinks I was born in July when in fact I was born in . . . . (no, I am not telling!).

Magic Freebies is a genuine site, It works by advertising and marketing (you don't get owt for nowt). I have had some perfume samples and free Dorset tea. For the perfume, I had to register on the advertiser's website (there are competitions on some sites). I have had samples of Gucci, Black Opium and another good one I can't remember. There are only a limited number of freebies available. My only criticism is that many of the offers are via facebook links and I don't go on facebook. From Magic Freebies FAQ page:

"How we finance the site

Magic Freebies is free to use and will always be free to use! We generate revenue through affiliate links which helps to pay our staff and finance the site. When you visit one of these offers we might earn a small commission based on your actions on our partners site."

Thank you for the info.

Hi and welcome, Flossy. I've no idea what the "Magic Freebies" is but be aware that it's probably just a google ad rather than anything to do with PickMyPostcode (unless it's definitely an offer from them on the Bonus Draw page?). Be careful with google ads. To be honest, I treat them all as being a bit "dodgy". You definitely don't need to give your full DOB for anything to do with PMP. Others may know more what you're talking about than I do but just wanted to give you a quick warning before you join something dodgy. By the way, there's no obligation here to click on any ads or do any surveys. It doesn't help increase your chances of a win in any way.

Only those who are registered with us and who keep their account active can win. Maybe not everyone in those apartments have heard of us. Or if more than one person does have an account, maybe the other accounts are dormant.

126 flats in my estate all with the same postcode, only 7 registered on PMP with it since I joined many years ago, I have no idea who the others are & we never won, I suspect some no longer live here as always renting or selling them..

Online put in ‘Rspca report animal cruelty’ - I would follow the ‘none of these’ link and there’s a chatbot or phone line 0300 123 8960. I think it said 8am-6pm.

#ANN do you know the telephone number for RSPCA have looked on line and can’t find it. Would like to report a neighbours abuse of (possibly with very strong expletives) repeated incidences of Dog Stomping! Am only guessing here but can’t hear swearing over dogs howling!!

That reminded me of One Foot in the Grave's episode where Victor Meldrew goes outside at night to switch off his car alarm and returns to the bedroom to find he's actually plunged his bare foot directly into a rotting, dead hedgehog when his slipper came off outside.

Maybe I should start shutting the windows and locking the doors at night. Been here since 1979, and I frequently forget to lock the car (keys left in car door more than once!). I am a bit more careful since losing my husband but I am not shutting bedroom windows at night - anyone climbing in will tread on one of the three dogs in the bedroom - I can’t go out to the loo at night without treading on one, so hopefully he would too!

The news of foul play is a shock. If a 78 yo person of her stature can't be safe in her home then none of we old(er) ladies, or gentlemen or otherwise identifying are.

So sorry that such a vibrant & energetic woman should meet such an awful end. 😭

No, not rest in peace. Continue the battle, Anne - I bet God is stiffening his backbone, cleaning behind his ears and lining up the angels for inspection!

Beth, I 3rd. that. I always imagined that if you had her as a friend, then you would always have someone to turn to if need be. I read her book "The Clematis Tree" the last time we were away and it was very thought provoking. R I P Ann Widdecombe

Beth, totally agree.

I was quite fond? Maybe thats the wrong word - respectful of Anne Widdecombe. Cantankerous, belligerent, cheerfully bloody-minded … but principled, loyal, devout and true to herself. We need more like her.

@Anon - he's passed away aged 68, a year after announcing he had stage 4 prostate cancer. :-(

What about dermot ?

The news was so upsetting about Anne Widdecombe yesterday I had to switch off the TV. They were just reporting on vile trolls putting sick posts on social media when the news about Dermot broke as well.

Moral support is a great help.

I have complete empathy and respect for ‘all’ of the above.

My good friend and I are both in similar but separate situations having to either advocate for ourselves or our loved ones. The amount of time spent ‘chasing that preferable light at the end of the tunnel’ correlating appointments, follow-up appointments, information between ‘trusts’, between GPs, Doctors and Pharmacists, correcting mis-information, blood tests and injections, finding missing information but to name a few. Wasting time self-referring to other ‘care’ providers but not within their criteria. Additional time spent researching, seeking info and/or advice on prescribed medications with listed ‘side effects’ having caused adverse affects, for incompatible or contraindication of these medications. All this reduces the physical capacity to then properly take care of oneself and/or a loved one. Mentally very challenging and physically very tiring.

PMP has been a little torch light in the dark thankfully. This site has enabled Members to tell jokes, stories, antidotes, advice and generally be informative.

I’m very grateful for this especially with the added bonus of possibly Winning some Money.

Thanks Folks x

A Nick Name, you and your wife must very strong to cope with all this stress and exhaustion. I hope your wife will start to feel better once she is at home. Look after yourself as well. ANN, Beth, Kat and others on here who are in the same situation. Thank God your loved ones have had you to care for them (he is very busy and sometimes has to delegate to Earth Angels).

@ANN ,& Beth. It's a good job people like us are prepared to call it as we know it! We shouldn't have to argue with HCPs when they are insisting on going down a wrong path ....again! We've had reason to be grateful to them for saving Mr Tom's life more than once. However, more than once it's been a cock-up on their part which has caused it. Without me remembering some important details Mr Tom would be in danger ten times a week!

So many carers and partners know better than the experts what is right for their particular cases. The hospice were monitoring and prescribing tablets for my husband (with doctor’s agreement) and they insisted he should have lorazepam and valium - I said diazepam was OK but lorezeam affected his balance badly. ‘oh, we find it is usually effective… we’d like him to try it…’ ‘But he’s had it before - he can’t tolerate it.’ ‘Even so, we’d like him to try.’ In 24 hrs he had fallen off the bed, fallen into the dog’s water bowl, fallen into the TV and nearly fallen off the toilet. I rang up and said four falls had proved my point and he was coming off them. Similarly, my friend’s mum was diabetic, given slow-acting insulin to take at night and standard fast-acting for the morning (I think it was that way round.) Her readings were all over the place, and my friend took over her diet and doses, got her readings so good that she was no longer on the diabetic list. Doctors have to generalise, obviously, but it’s up to everyone to take responsibility for learning about their condition and learn what is right for them, not just accept what they are first told.

Little Owl You wouldn't believe it but their number came up on my phone STD was 0121 Birmingham area but probably spoofed from another country.

My wife came home last night. Thanks for asking. Having finally seen neurologist and told her he wanted spirometry at 3.0 as it's only 1.9, and other problems could take a couple of week to sort. They'd put her on the respiratory ward due to breathing problems, despite it being a neurological condition, which involves breathing, muscles, swallowing and speech. 2 night before she left a woman was admitted with a male nurse sat with her all night chatting, and if she did stop chatting he'd be asking her if she was alright which set her off again. The night before there was a patient wandering around the ward, approaching others, and on the last night a woman hearing voices. My wife must rest to improve the condition and not be overheated. The neurologist asked if they could find another bed/room but they later denied they'd been asked and weren't able to. She'd had enough and I think persuaded them to let her come home, which they'll like as it frees a bed. Their argument was ( & wife got them to phone me as she knew I'd be angry) they were respiratory and they were happy with the readings so she was ok to come home. She still has trouble with swallowing, speech, eye is less droopy but still not right, breathing is currently better than it was, but everything has to be watched. Meds were doubled which will help and as we didn't allow the massive increase 800% it doesn't look like she'll get the dip and be rushed back in but the increase still needs watching. Once she's totally right we'd hope to gradually reduce the meds to stabilize her as she was before this crisis, but that would be a month or two after she's stabilized at this level. Fortunately I'd say I know as much as the neurologist, and more than some of them, I did diagnose her originally when they couldn't, but the main thing is I care and I'm here.

Nice one, Nick

A Nick Name. That was brilliant. Made me laugh. I will have to try that one next time I get a scam call.

A Nick Name, you should have asked for a number to call them back and also asked for an extension number, From memory, it will be 1234 and they will helpfully wait on the line until you call them back. How is your wife?

I'd say that was worth a gold star 👏⭐👏

The email is simply a reminder to check our daily draws, it does not mean that you have won. You need to check our draws to see which postcode has won which draws and whether you are a winner.

As we at Pick My Postcode get our money from the advertising, we do not inform anyone when they win or nobody would check the site. We require our members to check the draws on our site to build up the ad revenue which pays for the free prize draw amounts.

Just imagine how quiet these pages would be if only people would read the FAQs before posting?

I hate to think how people would fare if they ever had to do anything really complicated(sarcasm mode ON!) like applying for a passport or renewing a driving licence. Or, if I might say, getting a job.

There are 9 daily draws at 9am, 12 noon, 6pm and 9pm.

All in the FAQs. 😊

The link in the email is just to take you to today's draws. You have to check all the draws daily and, if your postcode appears, it will have a green button for you to press to claim. The email doesn't tell you you've won, it's just a reminder email (unless you are mistaking PMP for a different lottery where you have to pay?)

Super - You are posting on the Main Draw page and you will see the winning postcode for the Main Draw at the top of the page.

It's exactly the same on the other draw pages.

I could be wrong but if I win I'll be expecting a team of dancing girls at my door with a brass band, balloons, party poppers, streamers and a man with a big cheque. And all that for a £10 Stackpot win. I bet the National Lottery don't do that.

Have you read the FAQ? Start with this one which explains how it works.

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/13-what-time-are-the-draws

As all you regulars know by now, the external surveys are advertised across many sites, there could be many people completing the surveys at once, potentially hundreds, and it is possible that your demographic bracket could reach its quota at any point, while you are in the middle of the survey or even at the end. Also, sadly technical issues are not uncommon either.

I'm mostly putting this here for those new members who might read this.

ANN 🤣🤣

I pass a lot of people when I'm out who do these surveys, they're always shouting Big Issues, and they expect you to compensate them for it.

For me ... never. Not even a screenout, only "issues"
