Wednesday, 17 August 2011. Where are spammers getting my address? For about ten years, I have been very cautious when submitting my e-mail address anywhere. But thanks to careless friends who submitted my address to ' free greetings card. Sites not realising that they were simply collecting addresses to spam and ' get a free iPhone. Offers which require you to ' invite friends. To share more ' free goodies',. The next highest contributor, by a considerable margin, is The Independent. IT manager to warn t...

Thursday, 25 June 2009. How to lose friends without really trying -. If a drunk driver kills a child who runs out between two parked cars, nobody would question their guilt. Their drunkenness at the wheel would be a crime in itself. Their reactions would be impaired by their intoxication. If they thought they could fly, why not take off from the ground. Thursday, June 25, 2009. Links to this post. Wednesday, 17 June 2009. Pensioners pay for digital revolution. Whilst that may seem like small potatoes to ...

Tuesday, 13 September 2011. Apple Apologist Deletes Discussion Post. Apple fans get a bit touchy when Windows users criticise their beloved Macs - I know, because I am one of them. But when, after two months of misery, I posted a response in the following thread, the post was deleted for containing 'Non-constructive rants or complaints':. Lion Flaky, Frequent Reboots. Welcome to Club Disillusioned. If I hadn't had my escape back to Snow Leopard cut off by Time Machine being dysfunctional for a month and ...

Views: Covert Vaccination, Hobson's Choice and the Myth of Infinite Growth

http://blog.flamesong.com/2011/09/covert-vaccination-hobsons-choice-and.html

Friday, 9 September 2011. Covert Vaccination, Hobson's Choice and the Myth of Infinite Growth. MMR was an issue which, given that it was a dilemma faced by all parents of young children, was hugely controversial.

Is this a symptom of greed, laziness, arrogance, contempt or what? Friday, September 09, 2011. 30 June 2016 at 05:47.

Anybody visiting Blackpool would struggle to recognise anything of any environmental value but it isn't through lack of effort by their public relations department. You'd think you were entering a satellite of the Machynlleth Centre for Alternative Technology .

Monday, 23 March 2009. Heavy handed electricity suppliers (e-on) demanding payment for energy they haven't supplied. I was awoken on Saturday (21st March) morning by somebody ringing the bell to my flat. Via the intercom, I asked him who he was and he replied that he was from e-on and wanted to discuss my electricity supply so I went down to talk to him. He issued me with a letter entitled, ‘Notice of Intent to Apply for a Warrant of Entry’. I have all official correspondence for at least two years. ...
