welshbairn Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Someone tried to use my RBS card details to pay a phone bill in Australia a few weeks ago, payment refused by bank and card cancelled and replaced. Today someone tried to use my Revolut card details to book an Uber ride in Hong Kong, same. I've passed @MixuFruit 's details to the authorities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great if you could. I'm struggling with why you would go to Asda for chips and then put them in a bag yourself. Needs clarification imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using it to drive a whole series of geothermal heat pumps from existing bunkers on terra firma would have been a far more sensible and environmentally friendly option rather than heat up the oceans even more you sea goblin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I always thought that McEwan's Export was a great looking drink when I was young. My old man used to drink it, would often see cans of them left on the table when I got up on a Sunday morning and thought it looked so cool. with the guy that looked like Captain Hook. "Hook" remains one of my favourite films to this day. That was until I tried the stuff when I was about 16 or 17. Absolutely fucking dog-food bowfingly bad. What the f**k, man??? My dad's cousin always drank Belhaven Best, which I miss dearly over here as you just can't get anything like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family have gone full Yank, especially the Glasgow based ones. They all post on a Whatsapp group, and it's full of one of them saying they're going to the park, followed by 6 one word replies of "Enjoy!". I think I must have been adopted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
