There's no worry about changing anything for this friday or any other
friday due to reasons previously mentioned.

Resistance to signing up to something like google+ is pretty simple in my
case due to the family stalker. While I do feel fairly strongly opposed to
antisocial privacy policies (from whatever quarter), in my case it's not
idealogical (like it is for many), but pragmatic. If the wrong information
leaks out, we have to move house - as we have in the past. (Only mention
because some people sometimes think due to the beard etc that it might be
idealogical :-) )

As usual, please do sign me up to do things/actions. :-)

(I'm only sporadically near connectivity at the moment due to being away
with family in an area with bad mobile phone signal! :-) )


Michael
