When I go for an iDump, it's just me. I don't want to share my iPoo with the world. The sad thing is there are dickheads out there who will buy it.

So Adobe now say hackers got at least 38 million account details[^] (including user names and passwords!)
"the firm still believed that encrypted credit and debit card numbers, product expiration dates and other information relating to customer orders had only been compromised in the case of the original 2.9 million users identified."
Oh! well that's alright then!

According to security industry insiders [my Bro works in this area] the revealed extent of the breach is a small proportion of what actually got out and more importantly HOW the breach occurred.

They would say that, wouldn't they?
I don't know how far they've taken it or intend taking it, but have they implemented that subscription-only model for their products? It was mooted a few months back that they were heading that way. If they have or done so, then who knows what lies they will tell or are capable of telling.

As long as you lot keep drinking that Yellow Tail and Banrock Station vinegar, and in a manner that safely outstrips supply, I'll be happy. Just leave the swillable stuff to me.

Bleh - Oz wine is now as expensive as French in SG now and cheap ($30 a bottle) french beats that crap anytime. It has been ages since I drank any Oz wines that were not from SA (Claire Valley, some Barossa and Coonawarra) and Margaret River regions.

Does my head in that Yellow Tail is the most drunk wine from Oz. It is, hands down, the worst. There are, at last count, a zillion wines under $20 better than that. And yes, I've counted them and tested them carefully.
If you like your reds check out the Rutherglen or Bendigo regions (Central / Northern Victoria) or Margaret River (Western Australia). If you like your Pinots then Southern Victoria. Anything else red: McLaren / Barossa, hands down.

We did a run through Rutherglen some years ago, I developed a taste for the Durif from there. Can't buy it in SG and we have no excuse to go to the middle of nowhere in Victoria. Yarra valley was pretty but the wines were very disappointing.
Jacobs Creek - Fosters we seem to export the worst crap and some poor bastard out there drinks the dammed stuff.
We did the Africa trip earlier this year (safari camps and wine region in SA) and some of the South African wines are excellent, trying to work out if we can afford to go back next year.

Oh yeah!
Our fave at the moment is the Warrabilla. 16%. An absolute blinder. Also try the Calliope from Buller - if you can find it. Hands down my favourite wine ever.

I remember the Warabilla, quite a way out of town IIRC, we did a tour by Rolls when we were there, the cars was older than I am but the guy knew all the wineries and the people. After asking our likes in wines he picked 5 cellar doors and trundled around to them, an excellent day and we spent way too much on the reds.

Ohhhh, I've had worse! The bif bottle-o was selling a selection of clearskins at 6 for $12 ...
While price isn't always an indication of quality, in this case I believe it was a true reflection.

Just took the family to see the new Thor film. It's an outstanding film. We'll worth going to see, ignoring the fact that it's not three stops from Charing Cross to Greenwich.
|
|
|
|
|
Looking forward to seeing it, but it doesn't open until 11/8 here 
|
|
|
|
|
For some reason, it opened earlier here.
|
|
|
|

Of course if one alights at Charing Cross one merely turns right, walks 100 yards and then one is at The Savoy.
If one is staying there one would never go to Greenwich!

Why would you stay at a common hotel? How very 20th century nouveau riche - one should, of course, stay at one's club. Home House is very pleasant and well situated.
BTW; a reason to go to Greenwich is the observatory. Royal Observatory[^]. Well worth a visit. Otherwise, yes, anything south of the river, much like anything north of Watford is not worth the time or trouble to get there.
