I was totally numbed when I saw it this morning, and then I began to think this was almost predestined. Whether he knew it or not Michael was on a self destruct the size of the Grand Canyon. There is no doubt he was the greatest entertainer the last 50 years has seen. I've just been watching the...

Sorry, missed your message, thanks Sorry, missed your message before I posted mine. Excellent news, though it's obviously not certain how the Government will react. We shall wait with bated breath! Regards Jac

Rather dramatic little update Hi guys Someone just sent me this link (and my thanks to him). BBC NEWS | Politics | Brown defeated over Gurkha rules Regards Jac

Thanks Jac

Respect Nice one! The thing with politicians/governments is that, it is not they, themselves, who are corrupt or devious, but the system that has existed in perpetuity and allows advantages to be taken and blocks individuals from making good and just decisions. The system doesn't allow...

Many thanks Many thanks. Jac

Something is better than nothing R.A.F. myself, served with some of them in the Middle East (long time ago). For the sake of those who don't know, it isn't my petition, Joanna Lumley is one of the organisers and is passionate about the issue. Her father served for 30 years with the 6th...

This isn't a wind up, I firmly believe in this. Gurkha Justice Campaign It's a campaign to get the law changed to allow Gurkhas to live in the UK if they so wish. The homepage tells it better than I could. Suffice to say, Gurkhas have been serving the UK for over 200 years and put their...

As long as the Registrant puts their own name - or their company name - in the Registrant Field, there is no logical reason why any Registrar should do it. Regards James

You're right... it is what you said it is. I don't know of any reputable Nominet registrar who would say "it's common practice to use the domain name as the registrant" when it clearly isn't. You are also right that the issue is best sorted directly with Nominet, in fact, it can only be...

Spookily enough, I agree with you on the mouse trap. This is also something the new PAB at its first meeting in May could discuss. It's a serious issue, not just because of the politically correct conservation implications, but also because of the confusion it often causes among registrants...

Something to lighten the load... Someone once said: "Winning isn't everything, but losing sucks". And someone else said, "it's not the winning or losing that's important, the important thing is to criticise the game." :cool:

I'm a democratic kinda fish myself and I've always known I'm only a small fish in a big pond and there are a lot of other fish, big and small, to consider. You are entitled to vote for whoever you wish Lee (if you have a vote). In the end, I don't mind who's elected to the PAB as long as it is a...

Lee, Competition is a good thing, it offers choice, and if you are right in your assertions then Nominet's Members will vote for other candidates. That is their right. My standing again had nothing to do with selfishness, the selfish thing to do would have been not to stand again as there...

Links to the PAB Election pages: 1. The general info 2. All 8 election statements I'd like to compliment all 8 candidates on their strong sensible statements. Good luck to everyone who is standing. Best wishes James Conaghan

I guess we'll know the answers to all these things, at least for the next year, at the AGM at the end of April. I thought you worked for a big 'pesky' member now!? :p Regards James

You may think that, but I couldn't possibly comment. :p I can't speak for Nominet, but I am personally happy for registrars to lobby The Board on that basis, although I think you took a tad more journalistic licence with my comments than I'd have liked. I was pointing out that it is through...

Sorry, I wasn't dissing your point, just explaining why I think cost can be deceptive and how the buyer usually ends up paying more anyway somewhere else along the way. I accept you think 6.5 million people are being overcharged, but I also explained yesterday why lowering the price of...

My unreserved apologies. My boob. Sorry. And I'm not sure why you can't just take the compliment gracefully, there was no ulterior motive except praise. :p Neither did I but you know the reason why. That aside, I wouldn't expect appointed members to turn up as the Nominet Foundation is...

Why do you make everything sound like you're spitting it? ;) I agree with you. I think Nominet should ask them. Then again, Nominet already does, and on an ongoing basis. Futher to that, I agree with the idea of a Member and even Registrant Liaison Officer whose purpose would be to ensure...
