There’s loads of information available on this three cup scam, it’s commonly carried out by females to further dupe the unwary male tourist. They pretend to own one of the cups each, and the other between them.

It’s better safe than sorry, so protect yourself from this by viewing examples before travelling. Search google images for “video 2 girls 1 cup” for the best results. :+1::+1:

Cash Machine robbery in Southampton,

In Best Michael Caine Voice,

“You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off”

It’s all very worrying out there, be careful @Intiniki

It is worrying. She seems to have been an adult social worker but it says this was a private arrangement so would like to understand that a bit more.
In a predominantly female workforce we rarely go on visits with anyone else. We go to all sorts of dodgy areas and visit people who have been abusive to their (predominantly) female partners or children. However, I believe this type of thing is rare in our work.
I now work in an office and don’t do home visits. So no need to worry too much about me.

There was a rumour about Iraq trying that particular gambit. The story was that the Americans couldn’t risk the dollar losing it’s status as the global currency of choice as expressed in the oil market, it would mean a collapse in the US economy. So they invaded after cooking up a sob story in the aftermath of 9/11, some tinfoil hatters claiming they’d organised the attacks themselves to justify the invasion. I don’t know whether Iraq actually had planned to trade oil in euros, it would be interesting to know. :thinking:

Seems to be a bit of sibling Agro developing here. Kate putting the boot in to Meghan?

And Gadafi proposed similar and ended up with a knife up his ring piece.

More public money heading into private companies.

You have got to be fucking kidding.

Profit from kids in care?

That would be sick. The system is stretched perilously thin already.

I’m sorry Tony but we can’t place you with your carers as we’d hoped as we have to return a dividend to our shareholders.

Private equity moving into foster care? I’m absolutely staggered.

Cunts.

I am not sure this is a good idea

PE buys, consolidates and then flips the bigger business to another PE for double the money a few years later

The new PE does the same

The problem is they use debt which they load onto the company to buy it. However after a couple of flips the debt reaches a level that the company can just about afford providing it doesn’t hit any headwinds. The minute they do, they are fucked. You only have to look at the casual dining sector for the results.

PE are shithouse models and frankly unsustainable .

This in the foster care system? Christ

The private foster carers charge a small fortune for placements as it is. Add this in too. Fabulous.
