And does a woman really need a boyfriend if she’s got a parsnip ….?

I joined Parship after they sent me a birthday offer with a huge discount. At least, I tried to. Despite clicking on the link they sent me and paying my Â£59, after a week they still haven’t activated my profile so I am unable to read or send messages. They refuse to refund me as I have apparently used their services (which I am unable to do!!)

Definitely not recommended.

Oh and yes, the advert is rubbish!

I too made the very same mistake/typo when trying to find their site.

I made me wonder too whether a man who has a parsnip really needs to find a girlfriend.

Oh and I’d not seen the Independent version of this ad until I trawled through YouTube but I suspect their readership enjoys a good parsnip every now and then.

Oh dear, I really must concentrate.

(In the spirit of research you understand) I went along to the website and got quite confused. First of all there was a link to Wikipedia – fair enough I thought, if you’re on wiki boast about it ‘cos it’s really hard to get on right?. Then I saw a recipe and cooking instructions link – wtf? was my reaction but it was only when I saw a link about watching your garden grow that I realised that I was on parsnip.co.uk, a domain squatting site.

Perhaps it’s because I’m making vegetable soup at the moment but did anyone else read this as parsnip?

By the way. Is the Independent not selling enough newspapers then?
