That's a lot of emergencies. I hope you have life insurance.

I'm confused. When I tried to use my Everyday Rewards card in Masters a few weeks ago, the staff member supervising the self-service…

I love croissants. Are these any good? Might just tip me over the edge to getting a membership.

there's the "accidentally overpay through PayPal" scam, where they ask you to refund them by wire transfer or bank credit, but the PayPal…

You're right. He shouldn't be allowed to drink, vote, gamble or go to war at 19. People aren't mature at 19, they haven't learned all…

why not? sealed box. accurate photos. and underpinned by PayPal, except I didn't realise until after that it would be shipped so slowly.…

The other possibility is a cheap phone, assuming it will recognise the SIM. I have an old Nokia E63 which I am now using for this purpose,…

Incorrect. No belief in a God does not equal no belief.

I mark psychology university papers, and you are incorrect. I don't think our students are taught RET. You will fail if you "trash" or…

Great work - you stick it those purists!
