Is it still administered by the Post Office? I wouldn't have much confidence in their software!

Yesterday I got a £10 Amazon voucher for completing a survey I'd forgotten all about, and today I see a £10 exchange bonus on my account! What the hell is that for?

Anyone know how you place a free £10 bet? I've placed a few grand in trades but don't see any of my back bets being treated as a free bet?

:lol: Thanks. I was wondering what the hell a Betfair betting slip is and then I remembered, you can place bets through the website. :)

Family commitments meant that other holiday one was our first in ten years.
Worked damn hard to get the passive income and freedom.
Who knows what the world will look like next year.
My old man had a serious stroke at 55 and I'm 57

Nuf reasons I think.

Things have changed since those days. We know how to live healthy, we just don't do it. :)

I took Spanish lessons just before lockdown and I've forgotten most of it!

Like you say you got to be using it or its a waste of time.
I overdosed on Spanish before going to Barca and then found out that half of them speak Catalan :roll:

What was interesting though was that even in the city how few spoke any English, not even young people. 15yrs ago everyone seemed to speak it, a sign of the times? There's a big world out there who do just fine without us and the yanks, and I think Spanish has now passed English as the most popular language on Duolingo.

I think you'll find that Mandarin is the most used language. And it's flipping difficult. Good luck to global reps from US, Europe et al.

How I love pulling out an umbrella when it starts raining and watching everyone else run for cover as though an air raid siren's gone off. Even Ukrainians don't scarper so hastily. :lol:
