Re: failed meeting
Heathrow to Liverpool, ferry to Dublin. A bit shorter but still not a journey you would plan for this.

I run a small volunteer group. We set up a few years ago. We opened a bank account with one of the few UK banks which allow such groups to have an account. We have only a few hundred GBP, and transact rarely. We (like many similar organisations) require 2 authorisers for payments. The bank gave us a cheque book. We aren't allowed a debit card or online transactions.
So it's cheques but not by choice.
Not sure you have that quite right. Gmail ignores any dot in the first part of your Gmail address, so madeup.example@gmail.com is the same as madeupexample@gmail.com so you could play with the position of the dot to identify some misuse perhaps. The alias feature is putting a + sign followed by any text you like - madeupexample+dontspamme@gmail.com gives you more options to play with.
Both ways of doing it can be ignored / circumvented by less scrupulous spammers.
"If you know how to navigate the arcane National Rail ticket system and precisely what to ask ticket clerks to sell you, train journeys entering or leaving the capital's Oyster fare zones can be discounted quite significantly too; in some cases halving the price of an Anytime fare to some non-London destinations."
So what is the secret please?
From reading the ElReg stuff yesterday, I don't think resale is illegal though it might be impractical as the "porn passes" expire 24 hours after purchase.
I suppose the business model could be to have teams of people outside newsagents offering to go in and buy said pass for (say) £1 extra.....
It's not lack of oxygen that'll hurt you

I just received an email from Argos asking me to do a survey because I just bought something from them.
The email contained the above statement. So I thought I would at least look at the survey.
It was hosted on survey.foreseeresults(dot)com
(Yes I know it's not Typeform, but you would think they would at least know not to make misleading statements like that)
"Don't be daft"
Is the PNET offer cheaper than your currrent EE deal for the service? Since it's a 30 day rolling contract (I think),where's the downside?
Yes, the special rate for exisitng broadband customers may be undercut in future but you can easily move again. Check the T&Cs to make sure you're not tied in to BB.
Presumably means 'deleting' in the mail client which really means putting in a folder called Deleted Items or some such. Then deleting from there. So the data is gone from the mail client. Of course there are ways in which the data might still be recovered, but the likelihood of this happening seems remote.
