Fay and Ray are committed Christians and go to church every Sunday at Easter and Christmas, but they don’t like it much because of the people.

Fay does a lot of voluntary work and Ray contributes to environmental concerns. He is a shareholder in a South American deforestation project. There’s enough rain without rain forests making more.

They have adopted a red-faced spider monkey in Colchester Zoo. He’s called Zombie.

Password Problems

Does anyone else have problems forgetting their so-called "Password"?
It seems we have to have one for everything these days, from gasman to banks to library cards to butcher to baker to candlestick maker {if there are any of them left - who knows} to tax man, to telephone man, to building society lady, to doctor, to dentist, to chiropodist, to sports injury clinic, to pub, to grub, to so-called internet hub, to Spotify account {whatever that is}, to travel agent to estate agent, to travel agent, to optician, to building society {did we metion that?}, to train ticket, to shoe shop, to Twitter(not bird talk), to enter a building , to leave a building, to buy from the internet, to sell from the internet, to talk to someone, to leave a message for anyone, to shop, to drop, to sell, to write a note to someone, to talk to your vet ,to text , to e mail, to play a game, to use the mobile telephone, to call from the mobile telephone, to leave a message on the moblie telephone to go through a gate with a lock, to get into a block of flats( when Fay delivers meals on wheels) et cetera et cetera.
We're sure there's many more.
Anyway, many's the time we've found ourselves on the phone shouting our personal details to an Indian or a robot or sometimes both, or even worse, sometimes someone in the North East (or "Geordie-land" as we sometimes call it) when we've forgotten our password.
We've come up with an ingenious idea.
Just use the same easy-to-remember password for everything
We use "Xenofobe". This word -as everyone knows - means "terror of the new". Our twist is, spelling it wrong, so no internet criminal could ever guess it.
So, hooray! We have password internet comfort and safety all in one.

  2. Spam and wine. What a feast! (Don't try and order it from the chiropodist, though. You'll be on the phone all day)
