Phishers aren't even trying these days:

The following things stand out:

• The date header is +0900. Suspicion rating: 2/10
• The recorded log in time is in EST. The Halifax and myself are in GMT. Suspicion rating: 6/10
• The recorded log in time hadn't occured by the time I get the email. Suspicion rating: 8/10
• I don't bank with the Halifax. Suspicion rating: 10 million/10

I'm looking to buy either a Samsung E900 or D900 and would like some horror stories on either phone from the LazyWeb. I'm tended towards the E900 as it's a smaller phone, but then the D900 has a better camera. I haven't really felt the need for a camera phone, but the quality is reaching the same as my digital camera, with the exception of not having an optical zoom.

Particularly interested in tales of slow or confusing UI and success stories of running an ssh client on it. Not really interested in recommendations of other phones at the moment. That might come later when I discover how bad these phones are.

For the last few weeks, we've had a couple of pigeons nesting in one corner of the small triangular piece of glass I delude myself into calling a garden. Yesterday the egg they've been incubating hatched and we now have a small yellow ball of fluff my girlfriend has named Armstrong.

Slef Did it ever occur to you that the comma rather than period in the email address might possibly have been a genuine mistake rather than an attempt to target you. Your excessively and increasingly paranoid and biased blog postings are starting to piss me off. You managed to suggest that Madduck thought that cookies should never be used. Reading his post you see he referenced Sesse who only said that people shouldn't use cookies if they didn't need to. As for your assertion that wikipeda has a "extreme right-wing viewpoint", I sat and read both the blog entry you posted to and the discussion page in question. You conviently failed to mention that wikipedia's problem with the FAQ is that it is the collective work of anonymous contributors and edited by a person that google ranks below the profile of some games player. (Oh sorry, forgot google is in on the anti-mjray conspiracy). Wikipedia's policy on sources clearly states that primary sources should be "made available by a credible publication".

When you've finished complaining, you might want to fix the link element in your rdf to not point to itself.

A thread on a mailing list reminded me of this.

I don't think a card says "I love you" so much as "Society expects me to buy you a piece of paper, so I felt obligated to get you this."

Discuss.

If there is anything funnier than Must control tiny fists of intern fury, I'm not aware of them.

Would you want to bank with a company that used offshore call centres after things like this?

Seriously, WTF?

I've left my self a note to blog about mushrooms and I can't for the life of me remember why. I think it might be something to do with the fact that mushrooms invoke strong reactions in people that other foods just don't seem able to do. People either love them or they hate them. They are like marmite in that respect. I fall in to the latter camp. For me it is more of the texture of them than the taste, but I really can't eat them.

Ever wondered what the London Underground map really looked like?

Greens have kept their 2 MEPs[0], losing 0.1% of the vote, which is a little disappointing. UKIP, on the other hand now have 12 MEPs. I'm not convinced this is a good thing, even if they will vote against software patents. The Liberal Democrats have one extra MEP too. Now if only can trust them to vote for the party policy. This should give us somewhere between 14 and 25 MEPs to vote against from UK.

BNP appear to have gained 4.1% of the vote to 5.2%, but thankfully no seats.
