EDIT: I decided to call them. Was relatively painless. Am told a request has been put in to authorise the repeat payment function. Will update again once it's working (or not). Can confirm that the guidance on their own website is incorrect though.

Hi - Hoping someone with experience can either offer a lifeline of useful advice or put me out of my misery here.

I bought this thing a few years ago. I sing in a little vocal trio and we have a small portable PA we've taken out busking before.

When I first bought the device I could not get it set-up to take repeat payments, i.e. a punter just taps the screen to give us a set payment (£2). We did a few busks where one of us would have to manually trigger the payment whilst performing. This was obviously crap.

Stuff I'm aware of/have tried:

• I know that the repeat payment function only works with iOS devices. I have attempted to set it up using an iPhone but the app seems to offer no different functionality to what it does on my Android device.
• The instructions for setting up repeat payments (found HERE) do not match what I see in the app when using an iPhone. The only option under settings > payment settings is to set up tipping.
• I have tried ensuring that the reader software is up to date. After a bunch of back and forth between the app and the reader, the app told me the device wasn't compatible with Bluetooth or something. It definitely is compatible, as I can set up normal payments with it.
• I've found a Youtube video from 5 years ago which claims you need to contact Paypal to setup the repeat payment function (Paypal's website says nothing of the sort, but I can clearly see in his video that the repeat payment function is available to him from the cart screen).
• I've used the chat function on the Paypal website which tells me it is unable to help with my query.

I am able to call them, but I thought I'd try here first, largely because I've zero confidence in them actually addressing the issue given what I've outlined above.

Do you use a Zettle 2 for repeat payments when busking? If so, how did you get it to work?

Or did you try to use a Zettle 2 only to give up as you were swallowed by a void of hopelessness and despondency?

Thanks

Yesterday I installed Fable 2 and restarted it, playing it again for the first time in over 17 years.

I lost my original save when I was burgled around 2010, and I also remember getting shafted before that by some prick with respect to the Doll Catcher achievement (I leant him my doll, never to see it again).

I'm now determined to wrap up all of the achievements in the game.

Is anyone willing/able to help me get this achievement?

(Separate issue - Were the DLC expansions ever given away for free? I don't mean the free versions that came out at release. I seem to have both of the premium versions installed but they also apparently show as available to buy in the store. Either way, I have the submarine guy and the snow globe available to me.)

Cheers!

Hi everyone,

I'll try to keep this as brief as possible but my 81 year old father was diagnosed with PV back before covid and has been on a variety of chemo/treatments since. He has had ongoing issues - possible side-effects of the chemo, I guess - which he has frequently complained about in the various NHS appointments he has had. Whilst I've been to a number of appointments with him, there's plenty I haven't been to, and the info I get from him is at best a bit unreliable. Currently trying to get access to his records via MyCharts which I hope to have sorted this week.

I caught up with him this week and he was really low, convinced that the NHS is basically giving up on him and that his symptoms are really getting him down. I suspect there may be bits he's leaving out when he reports back to me (either by accident or deliberately); I wonder how frank the doctors/consultants have been with him about his quality of life going forward and how much he's perhaps choosing to not pass on to me.

Some of the main complaints he has are:

• Extreme fatigue
• Sore mouth/lips
• Loss of appetite/ability to taste food properly
• Mouth turning to sandpaper when he drinks water
• Breaking out in sweats/extreme sensitivity to heat

There's plenty of others too, but those seem to be the most commonly recurring ones.

I guess I'm wondering what other's experience is, both in terms of chemo side effects and symptoms of PV itself, especially in older people.

Thanks
