From what I remember the fly swatter comes with a free naked man. Or did I get that wrong?

Sounds like a bargain! Very MSE. I will order two and they can have a swat off.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

I shouldn't have laughed at your dogs' antics, but they sound no more embarrassing than my kids. And in this country people indulge dogs more than kids, although in Italy (just as an example) it's the other way around.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Moral maze for the NPs. I received this email from my DD:
"Would it be really immoral to buy a book off amazon, quote a few
pages, then return it? I could have got it from my library and can go
to IOE library to read it otherwise, and it's not a book I would
otherwise have bought. Your thoughts?"
She knows perfectly well what the answer is, but in mitigation the book is £25, she's a trainee teacher, and she needs it just for one assignment.
What would you advise?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Can she not find any excerpts via google? My searches often bring up book chapters and if you're lucky the bit you want isn't one of the 'missing' pages.0 -

Wouldn't it be less grief to get it from the library or read it in the library?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Curiously enough, no, it is not less grief. She's at uni in Kent, but she's with us in London at the moment. Amazon will deliver in a day for nothing (we have Amazon Prime), and they will pay for return postage too.
That has nothing to do with the moral side of things, but from a purely practical point of view it really is very straightforward to order it and then return it.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

OK, then, from a moral point of view, I think it's a bit iffy, personally. But I don't feel strongly about it....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
