Pick My Postcode’s Stackpot Draws

andrej, I have edited your nickname to protect your personal data. How can we help you?

Isn't that the pork pie with the hard boiled egg in it?

Alley1940, Now they have advertised **** bingo. They might get some weird replies.. ;-)

Not quite sure what you mean.

Hope that is not your email address that you have broadcast to the world.

I would strongly advise you use a different nickname.

Not for dad it isn't.

That is wicked but very funny.

😂

And there’s no such thing as a step-dad. It’s a dad who stepped up

Seconded.

Well said Poppy..

A father is someone who creates a child. A dad is someone who loves and looks after a child. Just because you are a father it doesn't necessarily make you a dad. You can be a dad without being the biological father.

So what is the difference between a dad and father

We will call you Daddy Cool then Barrie 😃

There's a lot of difference between a dad & a father. I'm neither.

There's also a lot of men of whom some may be fathers.

124 dads.

More than two, there's a daddy and dads...

;-)

I still call it a bannut tree.

Looks like you were replying to Em's post but started a new one by mistake. This explains how to do it.

Is a Hungry Horse pub in Wakefield

What Marie says Nick. 💞

Sorry to hear about the state of the flat and about your wife, Nick. I hope she makes a quick recovery and can be discharged soon.

That's awful, I hope they haven't been growing anything in the loft as they wreck everything with holes and wires. There might be someone at the council who could give you contact info for people who deal with hazardous waste. Sounds like you are not the only one who has been conned so maybe you can work with whoever has been unfortunate enough to buy the one waist deep in detritus. The people who sell these flats should be honest about the condition they are in. I hope your wife will be ok. Very stressful time for you.

Beth. Thanks but I can change any lock, cylinder etc myself, but in fact, having finally visited the place it's a little worse than that. Kids and probably others have been in all three flats and completely wrecked them and one, fortunately not mine, is waist deep in detritus. Rubbish, bottles, possibly drug paraphernalia etc etc The others are pretty bad, windows broken, holes in walls etc so a steel sheet was bolted over the door and entry way. I'm considering a cast iron lockable gate to replace the flimsy one, then new secure locks, and then see what I can do once it's secure but accessible to me. I'm very handy myself but need to be there and I can't do that as wife's gone into hospital and right now they are less than useless. I'm trying to deal with all that at the moment.

I believe it was a kind person who wondered if your health symptoms could have been caused by the peri menopause.

Nick - don’t get the locks changed, just tell the locksmith you want the cylinders changed. Much cheaper. It’s also chargeable to the seller, otherwise the flat is not ‘fit for purpose.’

Little Owl. If anyone saw me right now they'd think I'm daft. (Probably a lot of truth in that anyway). I was sat here laughing away trying to think what I've said.

I'm dealing with an incompetent solicitor, now would Bisto Peri Peri granules help that? Surely not.

I've bought a flat but seemingly there's no keys. Maybe if I have enough peri peri and stand the right way it might get the door open, but I'm still not sure that's what you meant. I really have no idea even though I've searched past comments etc. Gave me a laugh at least.

I was thinking of Envers bargains the other day when I was shopping

A Nick Name, would the Bisto Peri-Peri granules help you with the problem you mentioned recently?

Wish I had supermarkets like that where I live. All that you mention Enver are 2 bus rides in both directions from me

Wow you’ve got. Lot of bargains

Silver Birch there’s a lovely grove of them nearby which is magical

There’s a wonderful acer in Edinburgh botanical gardens. It’s so pale, it’s almost white, and goes bright orange in the autumn. Love to know what it is

Bob, I hate monkey puzzle trees - not the shape, but those vicious long fronds of spikes that stab you whichever way you try to get hold of them. Nearly as bad as holly. I have half a dozen acers of various types - I think they are fabulous trees, something for any garden.

I love a monkey puzzle too. Saw them in the wild in Chile, just amazing how big they get. I like most trees, Acers are nice, I’ve got 4 , and 3 magnolias. My Hungarian Oak I’m very fond of

Next to the building where I worked in the 1970s was a stand of three mature Elms. They were magnificent, stately trees and I worked there just long enough to see them felled (Dutch Elm Disease). I haven't seen an Elm since.

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

I LOVE MOST TREES & WALKING AMONGST THEM (GROVES/ WOODS/FORESTS) IS A POWERFUL HEALTH BOOST.

SHINRIN-YOKU AT ITS BEST.

CAROLINEC, SO PLEASED TO HEAR YOU’RE A TREE HUGGER ❤️

(JUST BE CAREFUL WHICH 1’S YOU HUG!)

Laburnum - quite surprised not to see it here already.

Silver Birch a solid second.

Acers and maples

I have a maple in the front garden, I also like Cherry trees beech and lime trees.

Has to be the Monkey puzzle tree,as a child the house 2 doors up had a huge 1,was always fascinated 🤗💚

"Loveliest of trees, the cherry now,

Is hung with white along the bough"

In the garden I love Acers - we have a lovely, huge red one in our front garden and smaller ones in pots in the back garden. In the local countryside I love oak trees.

Christmas

I love the monkey puzzle tree and also the giant redwood.

Acers always look great.

Beech - I love the vibrant green of the new leaves in spring and early summer, and the wonderful colours in autumn.

Rowan.

Silver birch - very please to find a couple self-seeded in the garden, growing out of the stump of a pine tree. I also like Rowan, but that can be a bit too keen on self-seeding. Great for blackbirds though.

The garden of my childhood home was outlined in different trees but I remember particularly the poplar trees on one side and a willow tree which seemed to change according to the light on it.

Scots pines are nice & firm. Flowering cherry. Monkey puzzle, Weeping willow. copper Beech, Horse chestnut, Cypress look nice, Japanese maple, Hazel, & Sycamore, & of course Apples & Pears.

Cherry blossom, as it's why we named our cat Blossom. Also I love monkey puzzle trees.

Flowering cherry 🍒 🌸

Too difficult to choose a favourite, I like all trees and different ones have things that are special about them at different times of year.

Rowan.

Cherry tree for me! I love the blossom and the fruit.

I like all trees but especially copper beech and Japanese maple

I'm a real tree-hugger. I adore all British deciduous trees (not so keen on evergreens), especially the good old English Oak and Horse Chestnut. We have a few fine specimens near us and I love to get out and photograph them in all seasons. Ornamental trees: I love cherry blossom and lilac.

The only one I have a reasonable chance of identifying is the Silver Birch. There used to be quite a few in Barking Park when I was ickle.

Oohh. Love a white magnolia tree

Otherwise a weeping willow by water is pretty stunning too

For the blooms - magnolia, for the foliage and fruits, the horse chestnut.

Change it if it makes you feel better.

Any active account could win at any time. The system completes the draws from a database of active account ID numbers using a random number generator and the parameters of the smallest ID number to the largest. It then displays the postcode on the chosen account number as the winner of the draw. All it ‘sees’ is the account numbers of active members, it is not influenced by any other data or outside factors and is as random as a computer can be.

Never give up hope!

Lidl Greek and honey yogurt. Dollop on my porridge.With a spoonful of Jack Daniel honey whiskey

I first encountered strawberry yoghurt as a 14yr old meeting my French penfriend, and felt really sick afterwards, so avoided it for years. I like the Tesco full fat plain, which is really creamy, or lemon especially Muller.

Yoghurt flavoured ie plain, but with live cultures. Good for the gut flora.

Are we mostly Greek yogurt fans? I like Fage 0% or Aldi Greek yoghurt, used to love peach and apricot Mueller corner but haven't seen them in ages.

Plain Greek yogurt or fen farm skyr with extra cream, fermented or not lol. Just plain is sweet enough

Plain Greek style Alpro, with whatever fruit I can put in it. My favourite is mango. I had some sugar free regular plain yoghurt last week and it seemed so thin compared to Greek style.

Plain, Greek yoghurt, eaten Greek-style - ie with a swirl of honey 🍯 😋

Seconded.

How did you find this morning Em, hope it helped you. Love and hugs...

I prefer Greek Yoghurt, so I suppose there's no added flavour to that and it's just plain. I find flavoured yoghurts to be too sweet.

Plain live yoghurt with blueberries added to it. Also like black cherry or pineapple yoghurt when I can find it.

It’s a minefield, Mrs P. Sugar is the enemy, not fat.

A work colleague recently introduced me to M&S Greek style coconut flavoured yogurt. Delicious with fresh strawberries dipped in 😁

Homemade natural yogurt with fruit, usually defrosted frozen fruit but in this hot weather only semi-defrosted. My favourite is probably pineapple but I often have blueberries.

@Suelero. After years of buying low fat everything ('cos I thought I was being healthy and sensible!) I only discovered recently, having being diagnosed as pre-diabetic, that low fat products have a higher sugar content than their higher fat counterparts! Who knew?!

Full fat Greek please but i'll eat any yogurt (often out of date),

Strangely I remembered eating the hazelnut variant the other day & realised that I hadn't seen it for ages.

Baked Apple from Skyr/Arla it's yummy

Try to avoid medical examiners, especially Jack Klugman.

Cherry but atm im obsessed with muller lemon meringue and the strawberry with biscuits in it 😋

I'm another plain full fat Greek Style fan. I like blueberries or strawberries with mine.

Toffee flavour yoghurt with a banana sliced into it, I can pretend I'm eating bannoffee pie 😋😋

Just plain full fat Greek style. Flavoured yoghurts and low fat yoghurts are full of sugar. No good for a diabetic.

Many thanks for the feedback BUAD. Just shows how much I know. However, after avoiding yoghurt for over 40 years I probably won't start eating it again.

I'm sorry it wasn't just me with the quinsy; I wouldn't wish it on anyone. You don't realise how many times a day you swallow until it's difficult and it hurts.

Plain Greek style, preferably Aldi which is really thick.

I liove a Muller corner sour strawberry or black cherry, but also used to like hazlenut. Used to get french set yogurts in Lidl in germany, but all I buy nowadays are big tubs of plain natural.

Black cherry, vanilla or natural. I'm very partial to greek style yogs too.

M&S do a nice lemon flavour one.

Mango and passion fruit.

I miss Ski hazelnut yoghurt we used to have as kids, there was also a champagne rhubarb flavour. Today I like rhubarb or strawberry.

I had a quinsy last year, the pharmacist had to explain its not a children's disease from Victorian times. You live and learn!

Generally plain Greek style and add fresh strawberries, blueberries and banana but am a bit partial to cherry yoghurt (low fat ) occasionally of any brand.

Used to suffer from Quinsies as a child, awful things, painful, couldn't open my mouth, swallow or talk. One day after about the third time of infection the quinsy burst....cannot describe how vile that was - however no more quinsies since that day!

Quinsy is horrible but is caused by a very specific bacteria that you won’t ever get in yoghurt, because the lactobacillus makes it so acidic, nothing else can survive. However, it’s so painful I understand your caution

I haven't eaten yoghurt since 1984 when I had an attack of quinsy and attributed it (probably correctly) to eating yoghurt. Up until then I ate it often and favoured Hazelnut, Pear and Peach-melba flavours.

Onken Mango, Papaya & Passion Fruit

One of the main characters in Cabaret is called Emcee

I think that is their version of a Master of Ceremonies (M.C.).

If referring to the previous one I think it was EMCEE. Seems it is a word, like it or not.

What was the word please?

It's a word game

I've no idea what Wordle is.

https://youtu.be/WrPkBhqROg0?is=wpMOrWGxifvZqW3f

I did it in 4 but it was sheer luck, I've never heard/seen that word before 🤷

I took 5 but to be honest my 5th try was a complete guess as I could not think of a word that fitted the letters I already had

AJR You wouldn't if you're not one. It's derived from the Yiddish.

I took 5 and wasn't sure that was the right answer, but having taken out quite a few wrong letters in the first four words, there wasn't much left before I would have started to panic.

I got it in three! Yes, it is a proper word, very obscure though. But also the name of a watch brand that was heavily advertised on Facebook a while back 😁

Got it in four. Not a very common word, but I have come across it before. More used in America I think.

I didn't understand it either and just managed to get it in 6.

Thank you Marie!

PMP Competitions. You can find it on the 'More from us' dropdown on the navigation menu at the top of every page.

What new site?

Longstocking, it went live just after 5pm yesterday (1st July). It's brand new and that's why you didn't know.

CarolineC, glad you like it. 😊 We hope many people will.

Thanks for the heads up. I've just signed up for it! I wasn't aware of the new site.

Yes, I run a charity. Hard work but very rewarding.

I did volunteer to take on four kids, aged 7, 10, 13 & 15 when I married aged 20… husband took on my dog and horse. Think he got off lightest!

II'm a bit that way too, help me. I do have a smartphone, but I only phone people out of necessity, rarely just to talk for the sake of it.. I make an exception for people I know that need someone to phone them for a chat. A couple of my friends are housebound.

If my landline rings it's invariably either a scammer, or someone trying to sell me something.

Samandi, you're a saint. I grew up in a house with no telephone and have never come to terms with them. They don't seem natural and I've been known to refer to them as 'Satan's Trumpet'. I've never had a smartphone, not because I don't want a computer in my pocket but because it has 'phone' in the name ~ ˢʰᵘᵈᵈᵉʳ ~. If God had meant us to talk to people hundreds of miles away He'd have given us louder voices. Oh, and I'm also very antisocial. I don't chat. Other than that . . .

Help me, you could volunteer as a telephone friend for people who are unable to get out for whatever reason. I phone two blind veterans, who are mostly housebound, just for a chat

I'm in my 10th year of volunteering for the pharmacy at my local hospital.

😂@help me!

Is blood donation 'volunteering' ? (I don't remember a press-gang). And is it 'work'? (I certainly had to set the alarm and catch a bus to get there). If so 'Yes', if not 'No', no voluntary work. I would like to be helpful to people but I don't want to mingle with them.

As Barrie said above my late wife used to volunteer me regularly to do jobs for other people. Wouldn't have been bad except I got it in the neck when I got back that I hadn't finished the jobs I was doing at home. Conveniently forgotten that I had not been at home to do that.

I have volunteered at several groups over the years. My favourite one was organising a week long activity group each summer for primary age children. It was the curate's idea but a small group of us ran with it to the extent that we were worried we would not be able to cope with the numbers asking to join. Although it was one week in August after the first year it took many months of planning an preparation to deliver.

During lockdown in 2020, I heard of a plan to digitise all the old paper weather records so I had a few weeks helping out there.

I am a volunteer driver on behalf of the NHS taking patients to appointment have done now for 10 years from may just gone

I volunteered for National Deaf Children's Society years ago and last year at a BSL (British Sign Language) Celebration event in Southampton. My deaf friend was part of the team organising it.

Yes I have and really enjoyed it xx

Used to help run a Brownie pack, led a guide group and then later helped at another. Was safeguarding officer for our Church and also ran 2 weekly dementia cafes, now just the one.

I helped set up and work in the community shop in my village.

Member of "Friends of" our local cemetery, Trustee of local Alms Houses, Chair of local "Walking for Health group.

I am currently volunteering at a local organisation where I live called the Arts Factory. I have been volunteering there since April last year.

I volunteer for the Alzheimers society fortnightly. I support a group with activities such as 10 pin bowling, skittles, short mat bowls, plus we do lots of different walks. It's good fun.

I volunteer as the treasurer of my local u3a, I'm in my fourth year now.

I volunteer loads with two local groups who provide support for people with alcohol and drug issues.

Not per se, but I'm involved in a lot of projects for the local community and local residents via the Men's Shed.

I currently volunteer at drop in clinics for the Audiology department, also for Blind Veterans and local children's hospice

No but I'd sometimes find that I'd been "volunteered" to do something.

Only helping people out with child minding shopping gardening cleaning etc

I helped set up the New Forest Riding Club with two friends in 1981, went through all the admin to get affiliated to the British Horse Society, and organised shows, training, coach trips, social events, lectures etc for about 15 years, before standing down.

First jobs after university were via Community Service Volunteers. Spent a year as a voluntary care assistant in a Cheshire Home. Emotionally and sometimes physically draining, but very rewarding.

Now, since I live with a registered childminder, I am obliged by Ofsted to be a Voluntary Assistant (seems oxymoronic). I quite enjoy it (much of the time).

I volunteer in a charity shop that helps fund the local hospice - they have to raise £2 million a year to stay open.

Lots of hospital ward orderly & domestics work, & hospital radio DJ, mowed lawns tended gardens & painted sheds etc for old people, distributed leaflets for a local candidate... maybe some other short ones I've long since forgotten.

Sadly up here you need a full police disclosure costing £20, CV, 3 personal referees & attend a long interview for anything.

Some people might class low paid as voluntary work.

JE is Jersey.

I got that one wrong, although I doubted it would be correct anyway as I thought Jedburgh would probably more likely have a Newcastle postcode. In fact having checked I'm wrong again as it's just over the border into Tweeddale. So Jedburgh is actually TD.

I've never noticed a JE code either but I don't notice any if I don't see a code that looks similar to an area that I know.

Just me being inobservant then. Or me being me!🤣

A JE postcode won the Stackpot on 14th June, 7th June, two on 11th May, etc. You can search for the beginning of a postcode on the Winners Results / past winners page which is linked at the bottom of every page.

https://pickmypostcode.com/past-winners/?postcode=JE

A JE postcode pops up about once every 2 - 3 weeks, there's quite a few registered over there..

As Beth said, I can't imagine, but being surrounded by friends will help

It’s not a club anyone wants to join, Em, but those of us in it already do understand how you feel.

@Em - Welcome back. It's hard but it will, eventually, get easier.

One day at a time (No , it's not sing-a-long)

My answer to that is "I don't know" to be honest. But I am alive and continuing on. Not sure how, but I am. Thank you for welcoming me back.

Hiya Em, how are you??

Glad to see you back.

If you continue to have problems, please email us at admin@pickmypostcode.com telling us your Mobile Provider, reminding us that you have an iPhone 12 (as we likely won't remember as we see so many comments each day) and informing us which browser app that you use and we can try to help you.

As "notyetanotherid" said, it could be that your provider incorrectly thinks that we are a gambling site. But we can provide instructions for how to hopefully add us to their safe list.

Contact your SIM provider and ask them to remove the block on Adult content

Send details of your device, browser and ISP to admin if you cannot resolve the problem.

Does your mobile service provider have settings for parental controls, e.g. to block gambling sites? Sometimes PMP gets classed as gambling and is thus blocked by some ISPs etc. as part of their parental/content controls.

I don’t seem to have a setting like that. I have an iPhone 12

I don’t have any issues with any other app

Is your phone set to use data from your sim. Some updates will switch it off.

Check the settings. My phone says 'Sim preferences - select preferred sim for calls, SMS and Data'

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣📞📞

Just saw that. Well spotted 😊

Not reading responses anyway

Could have confused this site with another lottery? 🤔

Gemwebsterx333, I have performed a search for your account, found your postcode and then searched for it in recent wins. I'm afraid that the last time the postcode on your account came up was in Sept 2017. Sorry but you are not a recent winner.

I then searched for your postcode area to see if a postcode in your area had won and you perhaps got excited and saw/read what you wanted to see, but the last time your postcode area won was on 11th May 2026. So it's not recent. Sorry but I don't know why you thought you had won.

The only thing I can think of is that you have moved but not changed your PMP postcode. I'm afraid that you are entered with the postcode on your account and if you don't change your postcode when you move, you can't claim any potential wins for your new residential postcode.

You can perform a search yourself in our Winners Results / past winners page which is linked at the bottom of every page.

https://pickmypostcode.com/past-winners/

Or is it showing on your email reminder?

Or did someone tell you on FB that your postcode had come up?

Or does it by any chance have "claimed" on it (Stackpots are first to claim wins)

If you've won, and as long as your account isn't dormant (ie. have you been active on here?) and as long as you were a member when it was drawn, then there should be a green claim button showing on the relevant draw. If that isn't showing, and if both the conditions I mentioned above are met, then email admin@pickmypostcode.com with a screenshot of what it's showing and admin will deal with it when they're back in the office tomorrow.

As Bob asks, what's making you think you've won? Is it definitely your postcode showing at the moment? Or have you mistakenly thought the reminder email said you'd won?

Why do you think you won ?

Awful for you Titchy - sadly no respect. These are our future adults 🙁

Many years ago I performed First Aid to students in the school I worked at. In the end I became so disillusioned with the pupils that were just wasting my time inventing injuries/illnesses to get out of their lessons that I refused to go to the refresher courses, rendering me not legally able to pander to the little 11 - 18 yr. old darlings.

Ooh I forgot that hubby and me did a mini first aid course before looking after grandson for the first time.

As a Guide Leader I had to regularly update my first aid, but that was many years ago. I once had to deal with a very nasty accident. The huge heavy door of a removal van had swung open and hit someone. People were just standing staring, so I volunteered myself to take charge. Luckily someone had already phoned an ambulance, so I didn't have to cope for too long. Then I moved on to the driver, who was in a state of shock, until the police arrived to take over. Luckily, I found out that the injured woman made a full recovery.

Apart from that episode I once came out of my house to discover my neighbour's small son choking on a sweet. I turned him upside down and delivered a sharp slap on his back, and the sweet shot out, thank heavens. If I hadn't happened to come out at that moment, I don't think he would have survived. A scary thought.

I did a Red Cross course with the Riding Club (nearly passed out and had to go outside to recover). Then did St John course OK, and two courses with my work and got name an appointed person - how, I’ve no idea as I could well have passed out if called on to use it. But I did save a toddler who was choking, before any of the courses!

Paediatric First Aid (updated every 3 years since forever) for work

Was on a defibrillator refresher course yesterday afternoon as well….

First aid knowledge has come in useful twice when I have come across rural road accidents so far

Same as Samandi

I completed a lifeguard course as a teenager. I didn't do anything with the qualification, but I had considered going to an American summer camp as one of my Uni mates did that one year and it sounded like fun. So I did the course so that I might apply to work in one of the summer camps, but I didn't action it.

With the lifeguard course came some first aid training. I was glad that I knew what to do in an emergency. I grew up around a lot of children, my family kept expanding and I wanted to know what to do if they had an accident when swimming.

I don't have a current, up-to-date qualification though. Though I did utilise the British Heart Foundation CPR training tool which was advertised on our site for a while.

As childminders, csikiedit and I hold current full paediatric first aid certificates. No major incidents here.

Several years ago we arrived at the scene of a road traffic collision fairly soon after it occurred. I pulled up, asked whose phone had a lot of charge and called 999. I went forward to the smaller and more obviously damaged car whilst Edit went to the other car. I wasn't the first to reach the driver who had not survived, two others were holding her head steady. Eventually a nurse who had also stopped asked them to move her onto the grass. Emergency services arrived, the area was hosed down, the air ambulance left without any passengers and the police closed the stretch of road.

Note to self: drive slightly past before parking on verge (the diversion was tricky to follow).

I've never had first aid training. I faint at the sight of blood so I'd be useless in an emergency!

Did the Heimlich manuever on my choking bull mastiff pup. He got a Tbone wedged in his throat. Don't ask! Then he got tonsillitis because the bone did a bit of damage. Poor thing lost about half his body weight in a day! Lovely dog, he was stolen a few months later. I hope they loved him, I did.

Yes. I have completed a course as part of my volunteering role. I've only used basic first aid skills since then such as faints and seizures. I've done CPR whilst working as a nurse sadly with no success.

Yes and tried CPR before the paramedics arrived and took over but unfortunately it was too late for him.

Like Lol 63 I know in theory but never had to attempt getting down & dirty.

It is as scary as dying if you break a rib causing a traumatic pneumothorax, and subsequent death.

Was trained in Resuscitation by International Rescue!

No, not on Tracy Island but in Grangemouth - IR is one of the firms that sends rescuers out to natural disasters.

Not as scary as dying

I know the "kiss of life," the recovery position, how to check airways for dentures and heart pumping to the beat of "Stayin' Alive." Fortunately I've never had to use any of them.

I hear that to restart someone's heart properly, it may be necessary to crack their ribs. Which is a scary thought.

I had a small amount of rain yesterday but not enough to properly benefit plants, crops or water levels.

It's rained here and been windy on and off for the last 3 days! Good job we're water- and windproof here in NE Scotland!

I wish it would rain here!

Lady friend went to Larbert hospital for an appointment this morning, when she came out just before midday it was raining there, & occasional drizzle on & off back in Falkirk.

But here in Livingston (only 15 miles away) it has been dry but fairly overcast all day.

-------------------------------

💧We are immune to Chinese water torture, ... in UK we call it rain.😂

I saw a sign saying "Umbrella Sale - Half Off", ... 🌂they tried to sell me half an umbrella! 😳

We've had a bit here in NE Wales. I got quite wet taking Lola out yesterday morning and we had a light shower this afternoon. I stood outside in it , lovely 😄

It rained here at 16;00 approx. Later it drizzled as I put the bins out (18:10) & a nice downpour at 18:50.

Ah, rain.

I remember that. Happy days!

😂😂😂😂 actually made me smile good one that 😄

It made me laugh quietly, as I was listening to his sermon at the time.

Good one. Made me laugh out loud.

😂😂😂😂

:-)

😄

😁 It can't be the preacher that I heard about fifty odd years ago, he.d be past it now.

😂😂

😀

As cause and effect, yes. It's not a mystical system of 'getting your just desserts' in this lifetime, I'm not sure why people still hang on to that idea because... just look around you. But, it is supposed to affect your future reincarnations if you're into that sort of thing, although again not as a form of meting out punishment.

Another paedo probably

BuaD - Johnny Rotten (Lydon) was banned by the BBC for saying "We all know what Savile's been up to.

His charity work and fundraising was considered too valuable to lose while he was alive, just about everyone at the Beeb knew what he was doing, and I reckon he gave 90% of viewers the creeps, especially when he was given his own show working with children. Who in their right minds thought that was a good idea?

It's a nice fantasy but no.

No. If karma existed, Jimmy Savile would have been sent to jail 50 years before he died ( apparently innocent). Everybody knew ! One of my friends told me late 1970s - he was a TV cameraman.

Yes

Ditto@RioRita

No. I believe in the randomness of life. I like watching Deal or no deal, for the insights into human nature. The reliance on lucky numbers, birth dates, intuition and "I feel that it's a red/blue" drives me mad, though. It's all purely random guesses.

No.

Yes, deffo,

Yes I do, I also agree it can too long to happen

Yes, the theory of it.

Yes I do

Suppose it's easier than saying come-uppance!

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

Definitely. You know what it is Enver 🙎‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Who or what is a Karma, ... a medical procedure, a fictitious mystical country, or another recent illegal immigrunt?

Karma Chamelion, she could be the spy we haven't seen yet.

If there's one thing I love it's a chicken karma.😁

It comes and goes

I agree with RioRita.

I do believe in karma, but it doesn't come quickly enough for some people!

DG7 - getting closer !

Or the Dumfries & Galloway code at night!

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

74 & 75 are in East Kilbride, not that close to Glasgow. Many Scottish postcodes cover a huge geographic area. DG (where I live) is 110 miles x 50 or so.

I'm From Glasgow, we maybe need some after the World Cup!

It's just the nature of a random draw. The system completes the draws from a database of active account ID numbers using a random number generator and the parameters of the smallest ID number to the largest. It then displays the postcode on the chosen account number as the winner of the draw. All it ‘sees’ is the account numbers of active members, it is not influenced by any other data or outside factors and is as random as a computer can be.

It's a bit of fun to make your mind boggle, Imagine (if you can) planes landing on my lawn like birds to fight over & eat the crust ... but two unconnected events.

What's the punchline Enver?.......

:-) :-)

I caught an escaped dog once whose owner had dropped one of those retractable leads when it was locked, so didn’t retract. The damned thing is made of steel wire and I got a nasty friction burn right across my hand. I buy thick cotton lead-ropes for horses - good strong brass clips that can stop a horse, long soft ropes.

PS I took the termites into a pub recently around late morning, just for socialising. I ordered a cup of coffee and confirmed what I was there for, and that it was their first public introduction to a pub. Three of the staff came over at separate times and asked to pet them, and each one said to the bartender when they went, ‘Just going to wash my hands, boss.’ I was quite impressed.

There are some dirty chavs who will dispose of dirty 'nappies' in the street.

@DeadMeatGF - you mean you don't? Thought that was what you were supposed to do

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

They don't provide parents with free nappies, but you don't drag your baby out into the street every time it needs a poo.

That is why they deliberately put the red "Waste Dog" boxes on lamp-posts, at nose height so humans can sniff it .

Notice - they never supply owners with free bags or gloves, but threaten fines for not picking up the liquid poop.. This is why owners let the dogs out by themselves well after dark.

Very good point 2 Cakey.

I was in town yesterday and saw a woman with a dog on a lead, not the retractable ones but still pretty long maybe 6-8ft. She was heading toward a litter bin in the middle of the pavement. I knew what was going to happen but seemingly she didn't. Dog one way and her the other. She had to stop and lift the lead over it. It's worse when it's a lamp post. Many a time I've had to shimmy up a lamp post to pull the lead over when the dog's gone the opposite side to me.

...and please don't hang the bag on the nearest convenient branch, pretending that you'll come back for it later.

I thought I was the only one who uses that terminology.

Eggs? What?? I assume you mean faeces 🙄

What bothers me is dog eggs everywhere. If you want a dog have some respect for others & pick them up. If you don't want to pick them up - DON'T HAVE A DOG!!!

I'd love to have a dog, but not that much that I'm prepare to pick up their eggs, so I don't have one. If that changes I'll get a dog...and a short lead! ;D

Su.O.

Those long retractable leads are a nuisance. They're lethal. Out for a walk yesterday walking down a wide prom with a dog walker allowing the dog to zig zag across the entire width of the promenade, completely oblivious to others around them. There's people on bikes, kids on scooters, prams,people with walkers,and this dog owner, totally oblivious to the hazards and chaos they are causing with this stupid lead. What happened to proper leads ???

Makes one wonder which is the dumb animal? 🤬

I couldn't agree more. Some idiots shouldn't even be allowed to touch an animal let allowed to "own" one. Says someone who speaks to & offers the back of his hand to nearly any dog.
