You're kidding - or you live in a very different world from me.

On the web right now these things (and more) can be bought for less than a tenner each from online pharmacies by filling in a short questionnaire, the call it a "consultation" which is supposedly checked by a doctor before shipping them. Yeah, right it is.

On the other hand on the Dark Web right now you can buy them in quantities of 25 for 10000 Rupees (that's about 4 quid each) but with a 5 week delivery and 400 rupee carriage (which is about four quid) and a dollar gets you five they'll have been made on the same line using the same meds as those made for the NHS.

Payment? Simples. Western Union IMO is easiest and best and it can all be done on line.

There's no guarantee you're getting genuine items on any dark web transaction. Luckily most people myself included wouldn't even know how to find it.

Why do I get the creepy feeling that you sound well practised about all these devious dark doings.
I bet the police would have a field day if they got their hands on your computer.

Yes, of course there will always be ways and means but the last two posts said it all. If you're willing to use drugs bought on the Internet, especially when there's a shortage and the sharks are about, then good luck to you.

Re: Are you stocking up just in case?

I had better buy a few boxes of inhalers in that case.... even though I don't need them but it's better to be prepared.

That really did make me giggle (and take not one iota of offence)

I guess I'm a bit of an enigma if not a contradiction. My professional career was generally normal though I did make changes in what I did progressing from a hands-on (real) engineer to being the technical director of a satellite company in Brazil of a gert big multinational corporation.

In parallel with this my wife and I set up, operated, and sold a number of businesses dealing in anything from bed sheets and towels etc (the first) to anything that made a few quid which is where we are today.

As for the Old Bill getting their hands on my PC --- nah. A bit of TB of course but I'm too old and ugly to leave a cyber trail let alone a paper trail?

Remember where I woz brung up!

Things like that a lot of people do not buy to use --- they buy to sell.

I know, I have seen the inflated prices on the internet but I'm not the sort of person to profit out of someone else's misery.

Psst! I hear there's going to be a shortage of table mats. Get your 200 while you can.

Apparently they are good for a "panic buying attack"
