Alistair Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Last years "Black Friday" special left some users feeling quite underwhelmed… I wonder what this year's special will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Falling Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Well, we just had a whole bunch of nice new resources made available at great intro prices … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'm starting to think that Oak Tree should start to Honour the special celebrations of countries other than the US, so for example a huge reduction on all items to celebrate Bastille Day (14 July) in France. If enough of us pester them with frivolous requests for discounts for every minor holiday or celebration from every country in the world (Pancake Day discount, anyone?), we should soon see pretty much everything on sale all the time. I would like to start by suggesting a week-long Summer sale to celebrate Swan-upping. I'm saving up already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hunt Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Australia Day and India's Republic Day both fall on the 26th of January. Well over a billion potential customers between these two 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Falling Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) I had no idea what swan upping was so I did a search. Very interesting. It's remarkable the things we learn on these forums. Is this article accurate, Alistair? Edited November 23, 2016 by Julia Falling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this article accurate, Alistair? Of course, Wikipedia is always accurate, about everything, all the time. The Worshipful Company of Vintners' website gives further proof, as if further proof were needed. http://www.vintnershall.co.uk/?page=swan_upping Disclaimer: I have no personal experience of swan-upping, or any other kind of upping, or any activity involving swans, except rare occasions I might have thrown a stale crust of bread at one down by the river. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Falling Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Enjoyed the video found at the link, Alistair. There is a lot of junk on the web, and Wikipedia is certainly not infallible. Has a good article on the TR, however. Has some good medical info. So does Mayo, WebMD, etc.. The web is no substitute for real books by real scholars and real doctors with real diagnostic skills and tools! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 The web is no substitute for real books by real scholars and real doctors with real diagnostic skills and tools! Quite right. There is something reassuring in that people take responsibility for what they write and publish in print, whereas any idiot can rant about their pet theories and unsubstantiated opinions on the web. </rant> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfraser Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) If we follow the abbotsbury regime, then we could have a daily offering every day, as the swans ring the bell. ;o) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2159733/Swans-ring-bell-food-centuries-old-tradition-muscled-enterprising-ducks.html Julia, search abbotsbury Its a real place and a real event.

Julia Falling Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) Fraser – That was great. So it's not just my dog that is highly food-motivated? Edited November 24, 2016 by Julia Falling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
