Its time OFCOM changed this, I now is to protect kids but 99% of them see far worse on the internet, plus they probably know the code anyway.

Then there are the customers who don't and unlikely to have them in there home.


Surely there should be an opt out option.

This may not disable what you need but maybe you can change the pin to 0000 or something if you can't disable it.

DirectLine having a giraffe with our Home & Contents Insurance renewal quote…

Quote:

Your renewal premium this year will be: £303.52
Last year your premium was: £228.48
33% increase - they can go do one…

It’s not due for renewal until the 28th, so later in the week I’ll get some quotes for comparison…

Add Saga into your comparison. They give a 3 year fixed deal and our home/contents premium was £20+ cheaper this year than the price we had been paying for the last 3 years. You can leave after year one so you aren't tied in either.

Had to phone yet again for the ambulance 10.15pm last night (didn't come till 12.15am) for the horrendous pain in my back, that is 3rd time since Christmas. I pleaded with them for painkillers but they said they were not allowed to prescribe. The doctor phoned me this morning, even she could not oblige. :(

So sorry to hear about your terrible pain Tinky as l sincerely hope that there is someone who can ease your pain with some pain relief soon as there is nothing worse when someone is in great pain.

I'm unable to get my prescription for Zapain filled at the chemist because apparently there is a shortage of paracetamol which is an ingredient of the product. I noticed that there is also a shortage of ibuprofen as well.So everyone maybe affected by these shortages.

Oh bugger, I'm on my way in a few mins to pick up my Zapain. Have got some emergency Tramadol but don't want to go there if I don't have to :(.

I am so desperate for relief from this continuous agony, I have accepted a few Tramadol tabs from a friend. If I was a dog they would have put me down. I/we are out of ideas, surely in this day and age, there is a solution. Why do these things always happen on a holiday weekend ? :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Just been to the chemists and no joy for me in Yorkshire either. The pharmacist tells me the generic version is available but they can only issue what's on the prescription so I can't have any. Surgery is closed until Tuesday so it's pain or Tramadol for me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 
I'm currently struggling to walk,my supply of Zapain has run out and I'm reduced to the last 2 packets of Paracetamol in the house and 8 packs of Ibuprofen that I had to go and purchase through the 2 pharmacies and 2 supermarkets in the village.I'm sure someone somewhere is speculating on these products manufacture especially with the rule of only 32 tablets at any one purchase.

Thanks to all those would be suicides that thought overdosing on Paracetamol was the way to go.When I consider I could buy 100 paracetamol back in the last century.Cheaper too.:rolleyes::(

Still buy packs of 96 400Mg - I get mine from the local Asda or Sainsbury’s pharmacies.

Why do our news channes have to report every gun shooting?

This is no longer news if it happens everyday and they refuse to do anything to stop it
