  1. @theg probably annoying for the masses but more reassure for those that are security conscious
  2. @theg or secure call initalised via internet banking and HTTPS first
  3. @theg I did. They didn't like that. Things that could make it more secure: ask them to read a secure ID key (like you do for i'net banking)
  4. @spursodyssey I won.
  5. @spursodyssey no! They charged me for going over my CC limit temporarily. I argued they shouldn't auth'ed transaction and let me go over.
  6. @spursodyssey (to the tune of £12).
  7. @spursodyssey I asked them to confirm the first line of my address. They refused. Never mind, it was a bank error in my favour.
  8. Pet hate: your bank phoning you and asking you to confirm 'security details' before speaking to you. There has to be a better way to do it.
  9. Poor form, Twitter. Tick boxes should need button confirmation that I want to tick that box. Don't imply it from click only. Poor UI
  10. @DBrett gotcha. Shame you haven't played. Not sure I can help you find a game on the Monday or Tuesday, I don't know of any going on. :-(
  11. Back in hertford :)
  12. @DBrett no, I'll be in the lake district. You?
  13. Unsurprisingly, the new garbage album seems more coherent when its played in the right order. Still not enough riffing guitar though
  14. I'm liking the way the BBC are telling users about their cookie policy. Noticeable, but not intrusive, and a practical approach to the law.
  15. Also enjoyed the rare pleasure of a stroll on th hallowed turf. yfrog.com/nvs38hnj
  16. Lovely day at Lord's today. Nervous start, aided by capitulation from Pietersen - but Cook and Bell steadied the ship.
  17. @DBrett ah, the joys of auto correct.
  18. Hmm had phone on shuffle so may need to reassess last sweet after another listen.
  19. New Garbage album a bit hit and miss so far. On penultimate track and seems like their traditional driving guitars have only just kicked in.
