I've just received one of those Nigerian Scam mails in my private messages box on a non-Saffer site that I visit! They've obviously now decided to hit sites that host forums. :curse:

I know i have posted this on Mtree too, but I feel that this is serious enough to warrent being repeated here


For all those who used to be a Freeserve Customer and have cancelled... BEWARE

I was a freeserve customer and cancelled more than 2 years ago. I paid by credit card. I have discovered that they have taken money out of my credit card which has resulted in me having to pay £60 in charges because it pushed me over my limit. I have spent the whole bladdy day trying to get hold of someone to get to the bottom of this and have been told by Wanadoo that they have no record of me ever being a customer !!!!! NAAICE .... but they take money out of my account.

I contacted my credit card company to put a stop on and they have informed me that it is against the law for them to put a stop on because I gave freeserve my credit card nr ... ALBEIT 2 years ago and have cancelled my service AGES ago. The only way for me to sort it is to send a copy of my statement to Wanadoo showing that they took money out and claim it back from them, and since they have no record of me it is going to be like frting against thunder. In the meantime until it is sorted they can take another payment out and I will be hit with another £60

I thought i would shut my account with CAPITAL ONE to avoid any further hassels, but NOOOOOO I cant do that until I have completely settled any outstanding balance. Capital One is also another bladdy story ... SHARKS.

im talking the fruit

do u eat the skin? i do
who knows if it has any goodness or :eek: not good !

Have any of you heard of this proposed legislation (in the US)?

In effect - and I have reproduced part of it below - all plants not named on this list will be considered illegal, and will not be allowed to be imported, bought, traded or propagated within the US. Effectively it will make illegal 99% of the worlds plant biodiversity!

____________________________________________________

"ALL" Plants considered Illegal if not on White List.

The 'White List' is a proposed law which will ban the import, movement and cultivation of (over 99% of the world's species of plants) . Backed by corporate herbicide manufacturers and exotic pest control plant councils, the new law will ban 'any' plant not on the 'government approved' White List.

'All' species will be considered guilty until proven innocent. By Law, expensive safety testing will be required for 'all' plants before they are (approved) for possession and propagation). Thus, only major corporations will be able to afford to introduce new plants into cultivation.

We already have adequate weed prevention laws-it makes no sense to ban virtually the entire plant kingdom 'just in case'. This is indeed equivalent to the government announcing that only 'pre-approved' books, magazine articles,etc, would be allowed, and all new writings would have to pass through government censores before publication. The world's biological diversity has now been likened to a great library & now book-burners will be in charge.

Current Law 'blacklists' known harmful plants, everything else is permitted. Under the White List, (everything is prohibited); except what is on the list.

The recently-formed national Invasive species council is scheduled to give their recommendations to the President in August, and is expected to mandate 'White List' legislation. If you want your voice heard, now is the time! Contact your representives. Write to your local newspapers, garden writers, garden clubs and magazines. Opposition to this legislation is growing, and it looks like we can stop this if enough of us speak out.

A group called the No White List Coalition has formed, and is actively coordinating this opposition. They have an excellent website: www.geocities.com/nowhitelist

This site gives detailed information about the White List and the effects it will have, as well as legislators to contact, and ways to take action. Here is our chance to turn back this bad law.

Imagine what it would be like if the 'only' plants you would be 'allowed' to grow where those (monitored by law) at the local pricemart-(patented and approved).

Do you have one that you'd like to share with us ?

I have 3, all by the same artist and all about the same fictional girl...

The songs are "Jeanny" (parts 1 - 3) because they remind me of a friend who couldn't say no to drugs....

Then there is Bosson's "One in a Million" as it makes me think of someone special in my heart.

So do you have one and what is the reason for it being special ?

Welcome Skaat

Does this apply to all Africans or are you able to compare notes between South Africans, Namibians, Malawians etc?

What Uni is it for?

How do you know we have brains in the first place?

Windows is a pretty little operating system of limited power and strength. It cannot be relied upon to store your credit card details let alone control the boats carrying thermonucleur ICBM's. Great so now all it will take is a few persistant hackers to launch a few ICBM's. Hello armageddon. Thank you Bill gates.

I found this site http://www.alex-soft.net/ and downloaded all the games me and my friend used to play on his 286 lol, pitstop2 doesnt work on my computer lol.
