Hey Steve - the Donate button is on the very bottom line - far right hand side.


I'm happy to send a cheque with a fee backdated to when I first joined the forum. I can even send you some folding-stuff by special delivery!


I do have a Paypal account but it is currently frozen by Paypal, which means that I can't take money out. It has a lot of money in it (about ?600). Under Paypal's Ts and Cs they can freeze any account at any time until they are satisfied that you are who you say you are. Interest on frozen accounts (which they keep) is a nice income stream so they are in no hurry to unfreeze frozen accounts. They have a copy of my passport and a current utility bill but it could still be months before I see my money again.


I'm not looking for advice here; I've already made the decision that I'm not going to get hot and bothered about Paypal - I just wanted to illustrate the point that Paypal is not a user-friendly organisation. There's nothing benign about them.

Hi, it's really good to know people want to donate, thank you. Unfortunately we can't accept cheques as we don't have a forum bank account but I believe you can pay to paypal using your credit/debit card i.e. you don't have to have a PayPal account to donate. I think there's something called electronic cheques too but I've not looked into it.



Thanks again


Mark

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
