Re: Latest squeeze

Mangler Junior just turned 15, and accumulated a fair few gifts of cash. He's now in love with one of these beauties .... I don't think his birthday money (plus a bit of pocket money) is going to last very long :wink: My boy has good taste in guitars. http://www.coda-music.com/images/LPJR15HCSN1_gla...

Re: Tos link

It is laser light when you're talking proper communications use. LEDs don't have sufficient light intensity to light up a fibre optic core that's 20km long. They can't be switched fast enough either. LEDs are more than man enough for the job when you're talking of the piddling lengths used in the ho...

Re: Interesting email - is it a scam or virus?

My Malwarebytes scan revealed 2 potential threats, which have now been dispatched. To be honest I surprised myself with my stupidity in opening the damned email - normally my response would have been to approach with caution.

Interesting email - is it a scam or virus?

I just had an email land with donotreply@dartford-crossing-charge.service.gov.uk with an attachment named PaymentReceipt.xls .
