how come your dog (minky i think ) is looking so sad?

you banned her from the protest? so she cant get some prime BT exec rump? or is it you have had to get her jabs updated just in case she gets a bit of [MOD EDIT]**** rump?

That photo was taken in a pub near Weston-Super-Mare where we go camping and she'd been swimming in the sea, run herself ragged on the beach and then drank half a pint of Butcombe Gold so I reckon she was in about the same state as I am at about 11pm on a Friday. (Not on half a pint - obviously ;))

I just remembered - here's a "before" photo... and yes, her ears really are that big!

How many people are actually going to the protest? I'm afraid I can't make it in person as I'll be in Scotland on business. I'll do what I can (putting together a youtube vid and signed the e-pettition ages ago) and I'm know we have a lot of support from others. However, I'm slightly worried that we won't get enough people present to make an impact. Hopefully you'll all prove my concerns to be unfounded.

I see the thread is now more concerned with dog appreciation (cue jokes about Phorm) but to drag it back on topic.

So all of you who said that people's browsers sorted out phishing attacks will have to think again. Half of them are way out of date and prone to all sorts of hacking and phishing attempts. Webwise will save the day !

Oh Hammy admit defeat love that is those who never update most would never accept your adverts either they are the ones who are mainly on well lets say scared to have them auto update.

Auto update is soooo simple it makes phorm look complicated to find all the answers from the double talk and spin, tranparency(stealth) and bull brown stuff...

hi hammy, hows the water wheel??

hammy that was i think you will find a world wide survey, one phing you may have missed is the fact BT bundle Nortons internet security suite with every sale of broadband package (would not touch it myself, norton i shudder to think of it on my pc's) and that has a very good phishing filter in it for non techies

and the phishing filter attempt was only added to try and sidestep PERC reg, shame you forgot about ripa, dpa, copyright laws, consumer rights etc etc

hows your shares today, down nearly 20% i see

PHORM REG S | Currency GBX
All data delayed by at least 15 minutes

I'll be there. I look forward to meeting others. Think hard about cancelling appointments for that day, if you value the right to communicate freely.

If intercepting port 80 traffic is ok, why not other data traffic? Like email. If intercepting data is ok, why not VOIP? If VOIP, why not phone calls? If phone calls, obviously mobiles too.

This is the first step to a time & place where you cannot expect any form of private communication.

Phorm must be stopped.

Be encouraged - one or two BT employees beginning to turn up on BT Beta forums BT Webwise thread - which they are allowed to browse at work (not allowed on non BT sites) - including call centre employees.

I'll try to make it - no promises, but I've gotta come from Edinburgh with 3 kids!

Depends what travel deals I get in the next day or so - so fingers crossed :D

Think some will have struggle due to costs and travel times, I have tried for train deals jsut none for me then the appointment for hospital arrived so that threw me out altogether. My contribution is to put someone of trust to deal as proxy shareholder to aid the fight from withing also others who are shareholders are now joining the fight.

Yeah the costs are high, and then add the cost of feeding etc - but I'm trying not to let it stop us!!

The kids have made some banners (lets hope it dosn't rain) :angel:

I'm coming, just browsing around for something to do in the evening, might as well make a day of it. Anyone got a suggestion for a sixties folk addict/ ancient rocker?

I do like this chart today
