My blueyonder email is up the spout so if you're trying to email me I'm not ignoring you, I can't get it.  

I've had a nice on-line chat with Chakra who is sending it up to IT.  

Fester’s still works ok.

Ferretfingers is at the dentist first thing so there'll be a very late blog tomorrow.

Virgin/blueyonder buggering about again.

Fester@ that address has been hacked and has sent an email not only to my blueyonder address but also Banjoman.  

So apologies if you've got one too.

They seem to be wanting to migrate us to google mail.

I am in web messaging communication with Sidhu but he's gone very quiet.

But if we have to go to google mail we need the old address book to inform people.

On the other hand everyone could just communicate with him via me, because I'm the one that opens it all for him anyway ...

I had better things to do this afternoon...

Later

Having had a long conversation with the lovely Saheer, who says it should all get sorted within 5 working days, I am going downstairs to recline on the chaiselongue until I recover...

Mr Whyte  An email from Fester enquiring whether I shop on Amazon was nice.  It was nice too that he explained that he would have called but was struggling with his laryngitis.

Well, I was convinced!

Twinnie P   Me too.

Bentonbag - Twinnie P It was nice chatting with you...

Mr Colliery  Yes I also got an email from a laryngitis-struck Fester, as did Pop Jesmond.  And last year I had one from Pop, who also had laryngitis at the time.

When I opened my email address yesterday there was one from Fester's address saying he couldn't phone me because he had laryngitis but did I shop at Amazon.

Yes, he/we'd been hacked.

So I had a happy afternoon on the phone to Virgin's lovely Saheer, who says it should all get sorted out within five working days.   

Meanwhile all the passwords and memorable words have been changed; and written down in the little red book with all the other numbers they ask you, which you can't normally get to because they're in your account which has been locked.

Fester's friends were surprised and delighted to hear from him but could tell instantly the message was fake.

If you got one, our apologies, but consider yourself special in being one of the few people actually in his address book.
