How is everyone? And I mean everyone. I know you've been missing me lately. Don't worry, I've been missing myself as well. Sort of. Well, not, actually. But there you go. That's just how the life cookie crumbles when you're baking in the kitchen of Martin. Think of me as the raising agent in the bread of life. The bicarbonate of soda in the muffins of destiny.
Yes.
So anyway, I thought I'd share an interesting predicament that has befallen me recently. The hotmailnazis have closed my hotmail account. Just like that. No warning. One moment I'm checking my mail, and then I go to refresh a bit later, and suddenly the screen is telling me access denied, account closed.
As someone who uses their email as their direct channel for getting work, I certainly found this a most stimulating situation. Compounded, I might add, by the fact that I still don't have a connection at home.
Emails to whatever hotmail admin addresses I can find have not been forthcoming in terms of replies. So I had an idea. Why not just try and open a new account, with the same name/address? Brilliant. Except that when I go to sign up for a new hotmail account, I can only choose between @hotmail.co.uk or @live.co.uk, and not @hotmail.com, which is what mine was.
Presumably, hotmail.com is now only available to people in the States, or at least not in the UK.
So... could somebody else, not in the UK (or somebody clever with computers) try and open an email account with martinphillips@hotmail.com, and then give it to me?
Does that sound mad or a good idea?
Hope you're all well. I'll be back with proper fun and games as soon as TalkTalk sort me out at home.

Oh and what's everyone wearing? I'm in blue jeans (Tesco, six poun) and a grey polo shirt (M&S, five poun). Fashion-forward, that's me.

Hello Martin
I am wearing black jeans, black linen shirt, blue wedgey Skechers, blue socks, bumble bee knickers and a black bra.
I'm so looking forward to the weekend - have been unable to sleep properly the last couple of nights due to humidity and am therefore knackered.

Hello mart. I am useless with all things computer-related, however I am wearing a camouflaged Sepultura world tour t-shirt, ripped and faded blue jeans, black socks, brown Nike trainers and *pulls belt outwards* Yves Saint-Laurent boxers, which are black and white.

Is that too much information?
Not at all. Please feel free to elaborate on the above. Posts: 1696

Hello everyone. I am at College! Not permanently though. I'm just training. I'm hoping to be a certified Mac Support Technician you see. Because I just work. Anyway, so studying to be a smug person, I am dressed down as its a Friday: Really, fucking gay hair. The sort of hair I would have looked down on in previous years. It's just fucking, well shit hair. T-shirt indicating how to avoid a zombie invasion. Pinstripe jean-cut slacks, purple ipath slip-ons. Sport sock. Grey pants that are made of material not suited for muggy weather. It's like wearing jumper-pants. Annoying. I don't feel too well and I twisted my bollock on the jumper-pants. So I have a slightly strained expressionas I sweat, gurn and tenderly try to adjust bollock. It's bollocks.

martin when i forgot the password to my hotmail.com account i used the zip code 90210 to regain access. i dont know if that would work. probably not. i thought it was quite clever though.
wearing: khaki skirt, which is now much too big and keeps falling down to show off my bright pink and red girlshorts, blue tshirt with little squares on it under purple vest, black flatties with multi-coloured apple pattern on. and a clay hippy necklace on a bit of string left over from my recent adventures in a field with naked buddhists.

Mart - I have a hotmail.com email address and it still seems to be working. Have you tried contacting Hotmail / WLM technical support?

The dog is, in fact, wearing a curly wig which is included in the 'package'.
"This Hippie Dog Costume includes the hippie dog costume and the curly hair to top it off! The hippie dog costume is available in size Small, Medium & Larage. This Hippie Dog Costume will add a 'hip' look to your dog! "
I am contemplating purchasing the human version of the costume:

sam I wasn't referring to you! sorry! I was using this as a general Friday chate thread and meant that I'd just eaten a cheesecake pot from the chiller cabinet at work (bland mousse-y 'stuff' topped by over-sweet and gluey strawberry 'stuff' both on top what appeared to be industrial plaster mix), as a result of which I was feeling a bit bilious. Have had stomach-settling vat of Earl Grey and feel much better now.

You have to admit Hippychick, if zygote turned up wearing that outfit, we'd all feel sick! Even an old lady like me wouldn't be turned on by it.
Then again zygote; that could be a strategy to avoid me!

You took an hour and fifteen minutes to come up with that? Still, Sam seems to be convinced and that's the main thing.

I was in a really boring training session from 2pm, dang. If you must know, it was for an intranet-based project test management application called Quality Centre.

My hotmail was hacked recently and the account 'closed', after confirming a few details it was back up and running,
I'm wearing a grey t-shirt that claims I study at the 'university of Superdry' some long khaki shorts and some Bench. Boxer shorts, annoyingly the end of my knob keeps poking out of the buttoned area in a bid for freedom.
