Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

Bizarre because it was working just a few minutes ago. Get the feeling the domain wasn't renewed. Yup, that sort of thing tends to happen if you don't renew your hosting and/or domain name.

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread

Barclaycard are also discontinuing their app-based contactless payment feature at the end of June so it seems very likely that they will follow suit. I guess the banks and credit card companies have reali...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

The "This Morning" thread has to be one of the most embarrassing things I've seen on TVF/TVLF/Pres Cafe in a long time. Got to love members who post in there constantly about unsubstantiated gossip admitting to not even watching the programme in the first place. And in classic TVF style, ...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

Well, I'm not allowed to make posts and send PMs on Pres Café anymore. I think the mods suspended my account all cos I kept asking them what is taking them long to approve a post... Seriously, they need to relax this rule or something. Relax the rule about users not using the PM system to pester mo...
