I totally missed the pale grey on white wording on their login page (i had the screen brightness turned up - sunny day . Next thing I know I was receiving messages from txt party telling me to use the service - and being charged £2,50 for each one. As soon as I realized thus was happening, I followed the :stop: instructions but the messages kept coming, bottoming my PAYG account. Please be aware this service is a pure scam. I think the link should be removed from this page but the warning should remain. btw, I've used cardboardfish and other sites with no problems at all. Before I get berated for not reading the warning as I logged in, I have to say in my defence it was nigh invisible at the time and I was in a bit of a panic/hurry as I was trying to send texts to some nutter who had obviously miss-dialled a number and was flooding my very young daughter's phone with abusive texts using VERY unpleasant language. I didn't particularly want to respond from a mobile but wanted a free sms gateway, hence my following the free sms gateway link. This proved to be an extremely expensive exercise.

I'm going to steer clear. I think we’re heading to the conclusion that it’s not a safe place to be (which would be why half the population of South Africa lives in London now).

One of my colleagues left South Africa in the last couple of years for undisclosed reasons. However, he does have a knife scar that runs from his right ear to his mouth...

Every time we meet up, they have new horror stories about car-jackings and armed robberies in South Africa, and they almost always end with cold blooded murders. My tip would be to buy a clapped out old banger (car, not sausage) to minimise the risk. I have some South African friends.

But ever since it became more of a business than a sport, it has lost its appeal. The influx of pansy foreign players who cry when they get mud on their knees is crippling our national game and nowadays I find myself flicking to a match on TV every now and again and then back again to something more intellectual (like Family Guy), but gone are the days when I will sit right the way through a match.

I've never ever met another real live Stacpoole other than: my grandfather (Dick Alexander, a Winnipeger); my dad (Hugh Charles Forder); my brother (Warren William); my nephew (Shawn)and my three daughters.

He was AMAZING. It is criminal that he is so unknown over here. And when headliner Eric Clapton brought him out to play on 'Crossroads' as the finale for the evening, it was one of the most incredible musical experiences of my life. Totally awesome.

The race took place in Oxford University Park last Saturday (7th June), on a glorious sunny day. I managed to raise £620 for the charity which is fantastic and will help in the fight to save lives. I completed the race in 28 minutes which I’m very pleased with and was better than my target of 35 minutes. Thank you again!
