Not even some mild frottage?

Cameron knew that Coulson had done this?

Yep, I know it's "easy" for anyone so inclined to break into "modern" computer environments but that doesn't mean that technology providers should throw in the towel and appear to leave open massive holes in their systems. Yes, technology solution providers are always playing catch up with the latest hacking techniques but having worked in banking IT most of my life you have to at least be seen to be trying to plug the obvious holes. Much in the same way that a shopkeeper will lock his doors and activate an alarm before he leaves the premises. Should he not do this because burglary is inevitable? A few years ago I worked on a project linking banking systems to telco systems (pay-as-you-go top up facility at ATMs) and was horrified at the relatively blase attitude the telcos had to transaction security compared to the banks.

I appreciate that my forthcoming question is in "that's not the point" territory but worth asking IMHO.... How were these journalists / PIs able to hack into people's phones in the first place? Working in the IT industry, I'm a little surprised that no-one has hauled the mobile phone companies over the coals for seemingly having such an insecure network infrastructure. If there was adequate security measures in place then these scum wouldn't be able to hack into them in the first place...

If 'Corporate Ho' is making up ITK posts on the main board, can some please explain how I'm supposed to tell this apart from 99% of all the other ITK stuff that turns out to be complete and utter drivel too...? ;-) The words 'needle' and 'haystack' spring to mind. Still, you know what they say about simple things pleasing simple minds...

Make of that what you will

;-)

The thing that surprises me most is how surprised people are at how tabloid newspapers get their stories... (And, no Mr V, that's not me casting an opinion that their methods are 'ok'....just a small observation on human kind....)

Not guilty m'lud. Not a banker, never have been. Unless that's a typo of course.... ;-) Agree. Which is why it was a jolly good job I wasn't casting an opinion on such matters, nor "blaming politicians" in my post. I was simply reflecting what I perceive to be inconsistent logic on the part of Mr Milliband. Agree. In the same way politicians (of all colours) were "responsible" for allowing the banking "culture" to carry on regardless. But, yes, going off topic so happy to park the tangental discussion for this thread.

Ah....there's my answer....

Or....the creditors weren't very bright....?

Would you like Frys with that sir?

Two words: Nut. Shell.

Perhaps they are in a Deppo....sorry....depot somewhere....? ;-)

Don't be silly....the jackpot is only £155m. That's hardly going to cover 100 scantily-clad nuns per minute now, is it?

Probably.... ;-)

I see that the editor at the time (Rebekah Brooks/Wade) is denying all knowledge of the incident (as one would expect) and that Ed Milliband has called for her to "consider her position because it happened on her watch".... Following this logic, does this mean Labour are at last prepared to shoulder their share of the blame for the banking crisis given that "happened on their watch" too...? Hmmm....me doth smell the aroma of opportunism from our esteemed Labour leader....

When you say "he's not here training with the other lads" do you mean with the academy or first team? Isn't he simply in the "U21 development squad" which sits between the academy and first team? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2342370,00.html

About the same average height as the Barcelona Champions League team I reckon.... ;-)

Hmmm.....Deppo gets banned and then Corporate Ho makes a return shortly after.... Make of that what you will....
