The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

All my emails are not working from virginmedia and I can't find an answer
I think it is to do when virginmedia joined up with O2, they say "change your passwords"
but that doesn't work.

That is so annoying.
I can't offer help as I am officially technothick .

I've just been through exactly this.

The instructions tell you to use a non- virgin email to register with O2, then link the accounts.

THIS IS WRONG!!

You *must* use the virgin email address you want to access as the o2 registration. Webmail will then work.

If you use an email app rather than webmail, it shouldn't stop working.

I had to re-register on the O2 app the other week because of this, new password etc. Pain in the aris.

Oh, and you need to re-register with the virgin media email using a different browser, according to their help. Although I'd guess maybe deleting all cookies will suffice.

Our Chorley Paul will be happy. He has taken his lad to the Blackburn game and they have just taken the lead.

Yes, happy with three points. No one really understands how we won as we were very poor. Out of the bottom three.

Mrs P selected 28 Years Later for our Saturday night viewing. Geez. I don't know how she does it. Dreadful stuff.

The Sycamore Gap tree features twice.

All my clocks are back. Im now running on GMT as God and the King intended.

I'm on Zulu.

 

[classic33]

I'm on Zulu.

Thousands of them!

Are they at "that scene" yet?

 

[classic33]

For those of you unhappy with changing the clocks, blame William Willet and Benjamin Franklin before him for coming up with the suggestion in the first place.

Just be grateful his idea wasn't followed through.

I've just logged out and then in again and I'm now getting replied alerts coming through.

An extra hour in bed!

Tomorrow will clean and prep the camper van in readiness for my break with Bruce.

 

[Mike Ayling]

I can't help thinking they could do away with it now. Was it not originally thought up to help farmers bring in crops in the summer when the war was on or something? Maybe I'm making that up.

I believe that was the case.

 

[Drago]

Something like that. I think it started in ww1, and we only did it because the hun started doing it. Or some tosh.

Greenwich Mean, the time standard of the Empire!

Blue Lights was bloody good. I binged the lot. Sometimes by the time they get to a third series, the writers are running out of ideas but it was excellent again.
