Thinking about dodgy shopping/channel products I have a vague recollection of me buying one of those "magic" pasta cookers. All you had to do is place raw spaghetti/pasta into this plastic container, cover it with boiling water, put the lid on, go sit down for 10 minutes and return to a...

That was a while ago now as you need a lot more energy than I have these days to look after them, but they are gorgeous pets and I've had quite a few over the years, white ones, black ones, black and white ones...yes they play together and if you handle them right they enjoy being handled, will...

This wasn't the exact brand but it's the same machine

Peg bag?!

Is this wrong of me? but the more I think about this situation the more angry I'm getting. Obviously the main reason for this is that my colleague is blatantly being taken for a mug and could stand to lose a lot of money if she's not careful. Double standards and all that as older man/younger...

Have you got a cat, or know anyone who could do with a cat bowl? I just remember when I tried to use it that what went in the freezer as a runny slop came out as a runny slop, and yes I think I had the same issue with the batteries dying as they had to remain on the unit in the freezer so it...

I bought an absolutely useless battery operated ice cream maker which consisted of a double bowl that ended up as a feeding bowl for my mum's cat. An exercise bike that ended up being a clothes horse, a perfume that I ended up being used as a lavatory bowl spray, a "trapper" hat that got...

Thinking about what I’ve just said - of course any form of travel documents can be emailed to the recipient and one would have to be extra gullible not to realise this ,or act in the heat of the moment. So perhaps it’ll be a consolation gift such as an item of jewellery that’ll be “sent “...

The problem is, is getting them to believe it might not be all it seems to be - Despite how many people warn her, in this case I reckon she'll only wake up when the demands for money come in, and even then, it's quite possible that it won't be that blatant. Let's say the guy says "I'm so sorry...

Of course I will keep everybody posted about my work colleagues situation, the one thing I can say is that I'm glad she's actually talking about him so the more people she tells the more likely it'll be that she gets warned off. The crux will come in a couple of month's time when he is...

The big difference here is the word "met"...yes ok of course single older women can meet somebody who's main interest is to get into this country - but not always. Being in a "relationship" with someone you've never met in person, is a different kettle of fish. Funnily enough a friend of mine...

I tried to wobble the woman's head today but she was adamant he's for real. She said I spoke to him last night after his gig. I said "You actually spoke to him or did he message you?" , she said " I actually spoke to him" I said was it a video call or an audio call, she said it was audio as...

I mean you couldn't even make this up but today a colleague of mine who's a 62 year old grandmother who lost her husband a few years ago told me she's got a new boyfriend. He's a musician, in fact he's an upcoming Australian singer/songwriter who's touring the uk/canada and the us at the...

I also forgot to add that when I found his fb page and saw pics of him he appeared to be in his 30s - my SIL would’ve been 60 come September!

Me too normally! When the messages began my first thoughts were “$hit, I hope she’s ok “ So I tried calling her, messaging her, contacting her old mates to see if they’d seen or spoken to her recently- he was persistent but at that point I could only see an extremely frantic man desperate to...
