My 23 years with Plusnet have been fine

OK, so the title stretches the truth, but, I started using Free-Online dial-up in 1998, it was an 0845 number and you didn't pay any monthly fees. I stopped using their dial-up in 2000, but the e-mail account I set up still works now. It was down for a day during this outage but it's been OK since yesterday. Maybe they fixed Free-Online accounts first?! It's not my primary e-mail address of course, and I don't use their outgoing SMTP.

So I haven't paid anything to Plusnet for 21 years. Who says there's no such thing as free?

Also, free e-mail as a perk from your ISP isn't something people want any more.

Remember Dave Lister using his dead clone's hand to open a door in Red Dwarf?

At the end Kryten said "now might be time for you to give me five, sir" and Lister said "I can do better than that - I can give you fifteen!" Cos he'd still got the hand.

That's it. Yeah, I logged in for the first time in years to post that.

Very disappointing...

this was the RSS feed link I followed:

Yes, yay independence. We will not have to adhere to ALL the EU's rules but we will have access to the market and that's what Boris has been suggesting all along. Our vote was almost useless anyway and the world's a lot bigger than the EU.

You aren't in a good position there and I'm not saying things are in good shape now though - nor for the other EU countries. This will take time.

Not my favourite episode.

Dice shouldn't back down: they publish a charity calendar featuring 12 of the hottest geeks in their company to raise money for cross-eyed people, so that the photographer can get off with that girl from the fourth floor he fancies.

He won't be able to get it up though, because he won't be able to get the images of those half-naked geeks out of his head.
