A new version of Monopoly has been launched in America in which female players get more money to start. $1900 against $1500 for males. And when they pass Go they get $240, the men get $200
There's also something about buying things invented by women, like cupcakes and jam.

£435 to remove 3 teeth and clean others. Not my dog fortunately but vets' fees are becoming a joke. I'm not sure teeth are covered by insurance anyway. I really don't know what you would do if you haven't the money - owning any animal now is almost as bad as running a car, one of life's luxuries.

14 weeks to go!
Are you planning for it?
Will you enjoy it?
Do you dread it?

He was trying to smash a car window with the butt of the gun when it fired and killed him. Inside the car was his intended victim a rival gang member.
The local mp tweeted, "Saddened to learn about the fatal shooting, my thoughts are with the victim and his family"
Just goes to prove that a lot of these "Our thoughts and prayers" statements are just said but not really meant.
I just think tragic events from stabbings to hurricanes are sad, but don't go overboard praying about them.

Seven pass by in a row.
Standing in my local high street chatting to a friend when I noticed not one but two BMW I3's drive by. Then followed by a Renault Zoe, Nissan Leaf, Tesla, VW E-Golf and Audi E-Tron.
To see more then one electric car in a day is still rare so to see seven in procession must be the same odds as Kosovo beating England 0-5 tonight.
I'm sure it can't be just coincidence, but I've not seen anything on Orpington Gossip or other pages about it

Well, have you?

I think many of us will know someone who has taken their own life and will have seen the distress associated with this. It is the biggest killer of young people with an alarming rise in suicides amongst those under 25s in recent years.

Angela C @AngelaMC Catherington - 3 minutes ago

To set the scene;- I have two phones one being hands free which was upstairs with a display.
Just fed the cats after watering the garden so when the phone rang(no display) I answered it the message was" Your internet has been compromised by hackers. Please press 1" . Thanks to various warnings on here ,I replaced the phone immediately. On the "hands free" I checked the previous call which showed it was international and the time, 10.48. I then dialled 1471 which gave the number 01865375496 and the time 10.48.
evidently the same call.I am getting calls on a daily basis usually from different numbers many of them now barred. I am running out of space.
Be aware of the time wasters! (less)

What is Boris saying ?

HB -

The deadline has been set. In a significant win for our End Dangerous Products campaign, all manufacturers must stop making plastic-backed fire-risk fridge freezers for sale across the EU by 11 July.

When the new safety standard comes in, these potentially dangerous machines won’t pass the test. Flammable plastic backing can dramatically accelerate the spread of flames in the event of a fire in your home.

Putting a stop to these machines is a massive win for our campaign, and it’s thanks to people like you who continue to support and challenge the system.

We expect retailers to stop selling them immediately. And we’ll keep an eye out for anyone flogging them cheaply to get rid of existing stock. Read more about the refrigeration saga and let us know if you see any discounted models.

3-0 to England

Already today had 2 from Mastercard saying my card has been used to spend £600 in a foreign country. And HMRC called to say there is a warrant for my arrest because I returned some mail to them unsigned.

Just seen a short bit on the news about this
What do you think - should all police be armed with tasers ?

Wouldn't normally bother with this division but my local team Bromley are live on BTSport tomorrow evening. They are travelling up North to a strange land called Essex to play both Dagenham and Redbridge at the same time.

My prediction 0-2 to Bromley.

If you give someone 5 up arrows they get a notification how wonderful they are. So I'm going to be doing more up arrowing.

I wondered if anyone would be interested in starting a travel group?
So when anyone is travelling somewhere, be it a holiday or just another part of the country, one could ask fellow members what it’s like or travel tips etc.

My husband and I are driving down to Amersham tomorrow morning. Is there anyone on here from around that area?

Chelsea to beat Sheffield Utd 3-0

West Ham to beat Norwich 2-0

Loving this programme. I found it by chance as it's a late afternoon slot (Channel 4, 4-5pm) and now record for later. It's so interesting and a bit quirky. Knocks spots of the other one now, in my opinion! Has anybody else seen it.
And have I posted in the right place?

Someone started an ongoing debate on the Daily Mail letters page. Who is the most irritating person on tv? So far the nominations are
Naga Munchetty
Susanna Reid
Nish Kumar

My nomination would go to Steph McGovern - more for her Shop Well For Less programme than any other.

One person complained when it was played on Capital Gold. The worlds most famous anti-racist song is now banned for being racist.

What is the answer?

Lonely Hearts Romance Fraudster Alert

The NFIB have become aware of techniques used by romance fraudsters against people using dating sites. Not only will they steal your heart they will steal your money and your identification.

When you think you’ve met the perfect partner through an online dating website or app, but the other person is using a fake profile to form a relationship with you. They’re using the site to gain your trust and ask you for money or enough personal information to steal your identity.

A dating fraudster, previously involved in deceiving people that wanted a friendship explained how they would create fake accounts with social media platforms so that their details matched and could be searched. By appearing to be a real person their fake persona could be corroborated by prospective partners searching their background and believe them to be genuine. The fraudster said:

“People like to live in fairy tales to say it won’t happen to me. I make sure all my conversations are bespoke. I will show insecurity myself about trusting people and this helps allude to them that I’m genuine.”

The fraudster will also utilise as many accessible online research tools to explore people’s information for their own personal gain or sell onwards. The fraudster elaborated and explained:

“I use various online directories to find out about the person. Once I have enough, I use it to milk everything I can using their details or sell them on to other fraudsters via the dark web”

When asked how people could check if a person is real. The romance fraudster offered advice for others searching for a relationship. They told us that after you see a picture of them:



“Ask for them to send you another photo of themselves posing with their thumbs up or waving. It’s like a form of 2 factor authentication and makes it hard to do if it’s not an original picture”




What you need to do

· Avoid sharing too many personal details when on online dating profiles. Revealing your full name, date of birth, or full home address may lead to your identity being stolen.

· Never respond to any requests to send money, or have money transferred into your account by someone you don’t know and trust. These types of requests should always raise a red flag. If something feels wrong then it is usually right to question it.

· Pick a reputable dating website or app, and use the built-in messaging service. Fraudsters want to quickly switch to social media or texting so there’s no evidence of them asking you for money.
