Oh, badgers. Apologies.

Cool, who do we sue? Should I get some homoeopathic treatments first? I have this vicious wart...
Can I just take the opportunity to reassure people that any powerbalance bracelets bought on clearout sale over the next few weeks will be just as effective at improving their balance and performance as those bought at full retail price 😈
I wonder if the physiotherapists I stopped using because they started recommending these will still try and argue that they're effective?
[edit] damn, should have posted on my own threead!
Still peddling snake oil...

Should I buy one from CRC and then sue them for false advertising?
I personally think the only thing they did was reduce IQ because anyone who bought one must be thick as ****
I was at the Ideal Home Exhibition on Friday and there were two companies peddling such bands:
Mojo:
and some other company whose name escapes me.
I was watching them doing all the usual demonstration routines and those that stopped where taken in, not sure how many bought them though.
Was dying to start an argument with them...
geordiemick- I'm sorry could you rephrase that I didn't understand it?
