A passport is enough to do the job, so when i finally closed down my hotmail account last year i just created a new passport using an email address in my own domain. Jody

I signed up for a hotmail account recently so I could use MSN Messenger to
talk to some people. Spam started arriving within a day, despite my never
having used the account, and having made sure that I wasn't listed in any
'directory' (read: spam harvester's delight) of theirs. This suggests to me
that there is something deeply fucked about hotmail at a profound level.

That's a good suggestion. If anyone has any knowledge of places (not just
pubs) that accept foreign currency of any kind, please do contribute it and
we can set up a search category for it.

Rob Thompson said: Or rather, MS appended to his message: > Overloaded with spam? With MSN 8, you can filter it out That's pretty funny. Just about everything I get in my hotmail account is spam, so much so that even after being filtered through spamassassin it goes into its own folder to be deleted en masse at my convenience. And that address has never been publicly advertised by me anywhere, ever. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net

I didn't realise that they were taking them. It makes sense. At the level of running a business, money is money, and if Step 1: Take Euros Step 2: ...

I can use my Euro's in the Pillars of Hercules, along with many other
fine drinking establishments, so that's all fine.
Do we know any London pubs I can spend the five US dollars I have?
