The ICO would consider it juicy gossip.

Dear Ross

This is just a quick reminder to let you know that, according to our records, your CBT certificate may now be close to expiring. It is valid for two years from the date of issue and is a legal requirement to continue on the road. You may wish to consider getting yourself a full motorbike or scooter licence before your CBT expires or simply come back to redo the course in order to continue riding on L Plates for the next two years. Either way, why not give our office a call on the number below and see what options are open to you?

Mrs Fop had a good one of these the other day. Somewhere in deepest Kansas, a lonely farmhand is weeping because she thinks nobody on FarmersOnly is interested.

Mrs Squirt got something similar a while back, but instead of someone wondering why their FarmersOnly.com post wasn't getting any replies, it was someone wondering why their BDSM-sluts.com ad wasn't. Or at least she claimed hat why she was getting all those messages...

Not a very unique username there.

You'd think the fact that 10100846 other people had chosen it first would be a clue.

Mimi always raises her eyebrows similarly when I get the "you've signed up for Local MILF Zone" style emails.

Speaking of which, Patricia Cornwell was on the wireless, yesterday, talking about her new book. She's been looking into Jack the Ripper and has spent about seven million spondoolicks on this. Thing is, she was asked why Jack the Ripper where there are other unsolved murders, and she gave an answer about families finally finding answers and the like. I think she should have said "Because I am very rich and this is my hobby".

If you were going to sign up for a Find My iPhone style service for Android you'd pick one where they verify your email address first, right?

Otherwise they might let someone (me) log into your phone and see all your call logs, contacts and then that certain someone (me) might (will) play a 60 second scream on your device to helpfully aid you in locating it.

Someone (me) will not be so cruel as to remote wipe the phone, even though the option is there. :/

Superb.

Can you set up custom ringtones? Perhaps 'Mr Blobby' for family members, a sound clip for particular Meg Ryan scene for work calls, and a high-pitch dog whistle for everyone else?

This one was called Lookout, so avoid that

Looks like I'm booking a holiday to Melbourne! Ace. I've always wanted to go there.

The only downside being that you seem to be flying from Christchurch in New Zealand

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11843

Sounds like you need to ask her to adjust the itinerary to flights from Birmingham.

Bamba · **Joined:** 25th Jul, 2010 **Posts:** 11128

Wow, someone still uses actual travel agents? I suppose if anyone isn't going to understand their own email address it would be someone that still uses a travel agent.

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11843

I take it you haven't been to New Zealand.

I still use a travel agent, and I'm in the UK.
It's a hell of a lot easier to wander in and ask about which European cities I could easily fly to from Birmingham and then book a short break than it is to try and work that out myself, and the prices I've paid really aren't that different to what I might find online.

Pffh, that's really difficult. It's much easier to go and spend time talking to a stranger.

I've had another couple of these. The first was a lengthy email from someone at a bank as he'd arranged a mortgage appointment with Ross Taylor. He was detailing all the documents he needed to bring and also signed me up for their secure file transfer service. I replied and told him that he had the wrong Ross.

Today I've been signed up to Netflix. The other Ross Taylor is paying £9.99 for this and I can see his card details. They're different to mine which is reassuring but still, it's weird. I've logged into his account and can see a mobile number. I'm going to contact him tomorrow and let him know.

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11843

Just change the password and sell it back to him.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

£9.99 means he's on the premium plan, which means he can have people watching from different IPs. Just go ahead and use his Netflix.

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11843

Errr, I think you mean, "go ahead and share his Netflix." Right?

MaliA · **Posted:** Thu Oct 19, 2017 19:10

Keep skipping ahead 2 episodes so everything gets spoilered.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Thu Oct 19, 2017 19:25

You can set up multiple log-ins for users on Netflix. Just set up one called "Wrong email, dude"

Find the name of his dead grandfather, add that name as a profile and then add all the old cowboy films they used to watch together to the queue.

That other guy who has the same name as me has signed up for an account on Wish.com.

So far, I've received about 8 emails a day from them with special offers. This is getting annoying.

Oh.. and he's also cancelled his Netflix account.

Today I have received an email asking me to supply a reference for a lady whom I have never heard of.

Of course, she's going to get an absolutely glowing reference!

It looks like my doppelganger is going on a flight soon to San Jose from Denver. While there, they will be stopping at the St Julien Hotel and Spa.

I know all this as I've received all the booking confirmations to my emails over night. It's costing them $412.69.

The annoying thing is that it's all automatically been added to my calendar.

**Edit** It also appears that I can log into the trip details via the American Express Global Business travel website. It's ok though, for security purposes they only allow you to log in with the 6 character reference number (found in the subject line of the email I've received), my surname and my email address.

Air tight.

4 and a half stars on Tripadvisor. Looks quite pretty. Why not send a message to them via the hotel? Perhaps a fax of Pacman or something.
