You’re not really contractor material are you?

Ask NLUK’s accountant. You don’t pay for it, your company pays for it.

So you are a luddite and a penny pinching one at that.

Same goes for Yahoo email, which I'm ashamed to say I'm still shackled to like a galley slave chained to their oar

MF, GMX is the answer - Short email address, and a much nippier email app than Yahoo or (presumably) AOL
