Morning all, Andy, sorry to read this, I hadn’t heard of this particular scam before but agree it is a pitiful way to make a stack of money targeting the vulnerable.

My younger daughter has just arrived to do a morning with me to earn some beer tokens.

So off to site again in a bit.

Have fun all...

Bloody bastards, Andy. ******* need deporting to somewhere shite. I hope your parents get over it and don’t beat themslves up about it for long.

We have one vagrant uni student back with us for a few days. I’m not sure for how long and I dare say he doesn’t know either. The youngest had been back for a week and headed back north yesterday. My house is like a drop in centre for itinerant stoodents.

Today I shall mostly be buggering about outside.

Matt, cool cat, if somewhat aloof.

Morning all. Off skiing this morning so pleased to put a manic week at work behind me.

Sorry to hear about your parents being ripped off Andy. There are some lowlifes out there.

Good morning everyone, sorry to read that Andy, the BBC have reported that fraudsters are using landlines again to con people since technology has shut them down via email, text and mobile. Hopefully their bank will reimburse them.
Nothing much happening today, might pop in on a local vineyard or go further afield to some stoodent drop in centre I hear the owner is very generous and is giving out free meals.... Lol

Hello! It is still morning. I'm in Northampton going through family accounts... joy!
Everyone bar me running very late too so afternoon fun probably out. Tea with a lady later though.
I'm feeling very cynical today.

Hi Matt, that's very kind indeed but yes the bank has a fraud thingy that I'm going through so should get it back for them. It has gone out but just waiting to se what happens. Luckily it wasn't a huge amount and as I mentioned it's not the money but more about their pride being hurt. The fact these toe ranges had one over on them at their age really upset them....Love this forum. Thanks again Matt.

What a brilliant gesture but glad it seems to be resolveable in any case Andy.

Off to drop my daughter for a gig shortly and then sailing this afternoon. Race 6 out of 7 in the Winter series so all very exciting...beers and curry after too so a pretty perfect day all round !!

Good morning everyone, it's unholy to be up at this time on a Sunday. Covering sickness. Nevermind, it's a rainy morning and I wouldn't have been able to do much other than sleep.
Breakfast and tea, then might do some actual work...

Morning all nice to wake up in my own bed in Laval this morning.
Today will consist of packing again and then two trains up to Paris to an airport hotel and an early flight to Copenhagen and a drive to Malmo.
Have a nice Sunday all.

With you on that one Chris as I have 3 weeks worth of gear to sort and dry before catching my train this evening.
Rock and Roll :)
