Mrs H and my brother received one .. mine must be lost in the spam filter as I definitely qualify , unless I'm Marty Hopkirk and don't know it you will not be eligible to receive the payment if any of the following apply: We are notified of your death. We reasonably believe that one or more of your accounts has been used for illegal or fraudulent purposes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To keep it simple (because there is an exception...) in day to day usage 99% of the time one is a verb and the other a noun. You are usually affecting something, which results in an effect. The exception is you can very rarely use effect as a verb - e.g. to effect change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheAuthority Posted May 20, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2023 The father of one of the other boys in my sons class committed suicide (we were just informed today.) I just can't get my head around it. My number one fear is something happening to my kids, but my number two fear is something happening to me so I can't be around to guide/provide for them. The little lad is brilliant and has been over to our house for playdates etc. His dad seemed nice to be honest , a little quiet, but his wife is lovely, 2 beautiful kids & he had a good job. How could he choose to leave them? And what sort of state must he have been in to make that decision? All this stuff is swirling around in my head. My wife hasn't stopped crying all day. And the widow is naturally, in a right mess at the moment. His oldest son is 4 and his little one is 2. What a tragedy. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
