What annoyed you today?

That's the best thing you can do to some of them.  Many a time I've been extremely tempted.

I approve this post   I only have a manual powered mower, I do not have much grass living in a townhouse (sort of a row house).

I'm thinking more goat . . . at least we could eat it if it stops mowing the grass.

Mind you, they do eat everything and can whiff a bit.

Too late, Mrs H has already pointed out that I have just described myself

Our goats eat nettles and weeds - and our ponies are best for lawn mowing - good dung for the roses too

What about sheep? Won't they do the trick? And the way the weather is behaving, woolprices should be high. I haven't been out of woollen jumpers for weeks!

Sheep are good.  My uncle used to have sheep keep his grass short.   He never asked, the sheep just showed up and he never complained!

Some b$%£ard hacked my email last night and sent crap to everybody in my contacts list

That is really bad. Happened to me once, on one of my Hotmail addresses.
I was supposedly telling people about some wonderful site, where they could buy cheap electronic stuff. Strange thing was, it was only sent to some of my contacts (including myself), but thank goodness everyone realised it was spam, as the 'subject' was so totally out of character. Besides I don't send English mails to Dutch friends.
I found it somehow embarrasing though.

Oh I see, not good enough to be on your contacts list, eh?

Joking: seriously how annoying is that?

WAMT: Looks like my first line of defence is seriously flawed - rethink required (read the abstract)

I used those, but they obviously did not work! Very unflattering too.
And H you're welcome to a place on one of my contacts lists anytime, if you want to be included in the next bit of spam I'll send out.

Hotmail?  That has been happening a lot in the past few weeks.

No not Hotmail, ntlworld (now Virgin Media).

My problem was at least a year ago.
If it is the email address provided by your provider, it is even more serious. I always think web based free email accounts are more susceptible to hackers/hijackers. This is not based on any knowledge, purely on the fact they're free.
