24 is more my thing. I try not to get suckered in to it (Mrs TheBoy is an avid fan), but I see the first episode of a series (she normally needs a bit of help with the MCE), and I get hooked.  She decided to start watching series 5 about a week before we went to France last month, and we had to get the whole series done before we went - 24 hour long episodes in a week  :-/

Yeah, I kinda got suckered into it. Liked the format, with flashbacks to their previous lives, then a few episodes later, same flashback but more info given - gives greater insight into characters.

However, the second series dragged on a bit in the middle - good start, good, if somewhat bizarre, busy, ending.

I've made some changes, so certainly AOL has been confirmed to work. If any new member has joined in the last 24hrs or so via hotmail (or failed through hotmail) please let me know.

Yes there is filtering, but its done a different way.  Hotmail (and AOL) are ISP class email systems and cannot run a whitelist only system.  Its usually done on the domain's TXT record (this says all possible mail relays for a domain - if the IP of mailer sending the msg doesn't match the TXT record, its most likely someone spoofing)

No major ISP class mail systems run a whitelist only.  I think there is a slightly different problem. I've made a couple of changes, just waiting to see if thats cured it....

Just for the record, I think AOL addresses are causing us a problem as well

I lost about 6 hours do to hotmail being pants, so I used my work email address.

Just think how much you could have increased your post count in that time

For a web based email system, I'd recommend Google mail (though it has no integration with MSN). Free, and 2Gb mailbox size, full POP3/IMAP access.

Its invitation only, but I have a few invites I can give out - PM me your email address where I can send invitation to if you want one

Yes, we are aware that Hotmail causes a problem - I've seen this on other forums I run as well.

I have them fitted to back of mine. Helpful aid, but not a replacement for looking!

Am I the only one who gets over excited at the prospect of buying a new car?

I'm picking up our new 2.5 Elite estate tonight at around 5 and I'm itching to get there.

It's only three hours away, but I can't wait!!

Can't be bothered   doing any work!!!

An hour to go
