I wonder how many facebook pages will be created in the name of Andy Smith after this

Ron Jeremy or Hew Jorgen more like.

I think a statistical analysis of all user names with reference to porn star names will be interesting in a few years.

Online tax system 'too risky' for the famous - Telegraph - "The security of the online computer system used by more than three million people to file tax returns is in doubt after HM Revenue and Customs admitted it was not secure enough to be used by MPs, celebrities and the Royal Family."

That's terribly unfair to FU: it's Matty who chooses to call him that, saying "I want to call you Daddy" at 13:25 in episode 3.

That is true. But its still

I would like to do Matty - but not if she is going to call me anything other than Tiger.....

[NickFitz]

Maybe they watched house of cards where Matty tracks down the PM's dirt secret by interviewing the statistician. To shut her up he has sex with her and insists she call him Daddy!

In a similar vein, wasn't there also a thing a while ago whereby letters from 10 downing Street were signed from completely fictitious members of staff when responding on David Cameron's behalf to letters sent from members of the public? It came to light when an opposition MP wrote a letter to the PM and received such a reply that couldn't be traced to a real member of staff.

Been doing that for years, with any info not absolutely necessary for delivery.

For example, when downloading white papers from tech sites they only need my email. Other than that they get only Mickey Mouse data.

When I first signed up to Ebay I put my phone number in as 123456789. Which of course they identified as me trying to commit some terrible fraud, rather than not wanting to give EBay my phone number, and I had to jump through lots of hoops to get my account activated.

Are they saying then that the government is NOT a professional organisation then?

"When you are interacting with government, or professional organisations - people who you know are going to protect your information - then obviously you are going to use the right stuff.
