Thanks for reply earlier ML, Still not sure it's gone through, after processing it ends on a white screen with barclaycard asking for all your card information again to prevent internet fraud, somehow this just does not seem right to me surely if Barclaycard were after you sighing up to some internet protection scheme they would do it on the Barclaycard site ... anyone else had this problem maybe only with Barclaycard, cheers

Brilliant news, very many congratulations.

We are just coming to the end of a 6 month home rebuilding project, creating our dream home, bloody hard work but the kids love it now, and have masses of room to play in

As some 800 “views” have now been made on this thread and only ten have made a donation I thought that you all should see how our boys are coping right now - on our behalf. Not quite the luxuries that we enjoy.

Some may not like this but needs to be said.

I for one feels that our national security is not at risk should the boys pull out.

and just by the fact it's viewed by 800 and not supported by many people feel the same.

if ONE cabinet minister had put there boy or girl forward on the front line then may be just maybe i could understand what the the politicians are talking about.

We only get one chance in life.

COPOC supporting H4H...

Hi Mike

I should have pointed-out that the COPOC Classic Revival Rally to Torquay have for a long time arranged for "Help For Heroes" to be their chosen charity.

They are raising funds along the way from Cowes, on Wednesday 25th August, meeting-up to enter Torquay at 16.00 hrs. followed by a display from the Red Arrows...

On Thursday 26th August there is a Gala Dinner and a fund-raising Auction at the Imperial Hotel, Torquay ( just like the old days: Racing down the staircase on tin trays? Shark in the swimming pool, anyone ? ) from 19.00 hrs. with Dag Pike as the guest-of-honour... a few tickets still available!

That said, I have just made a donation to YOUR worthy way of raising funds and awareness for the same cause ( after all, we're "batting-for-the-same-side"! )

Hope it (and both of you !!) goes well...

well I am not really getting very far with this as it is now my third attempt, this time with a Santander debit card but yet again after I have finished entering the card information and press proceed it states processing in progress as normal but then up comes a page from the card company asking for my details to prevent card fraud this is where I escape that page but then the transaction appears to fail ... Does anyone else get a page come up from the card company asking for details to prevent card fraud or is it just on my computer
