That’s good to hear Moonie, have you got sunshine there? And how’s Swan watch going?
El, I’m glad they’re not culling badgers anymore 
Afternoon all 
El, I’m glad that badger culling is coming to an end 
I got one of those Amazon scam calls on Monday. I’ve had quite a few of them in recent months.
Summer, I hope you are wide awake now...after your deep sleep
Moonie, I’m glad you are feeling a bit better 
Squiggle, you are right about this bad weather affection some self employed trades.
I have been to get my haircut *twirls* and I’m parent visiting this evening.
Enjoy the rest of your day, everyone 
Yogi, good twirl and I hope your parent visiting goes well
The Amazon scam calls that I've had are the recorded prime subsciption ones. There are other ones which are where someone rings claiming that your Amazon account has been hacked. A woman in Scotland has been scammed by such a call for £80,000

Fankoo Yogi
Nice hair job 
I hope your visit to your parents goes well and that they are okay
I hope you get back home safely
It is the recorded subscription scam calls I got, El. I just hang up on them.
Parents are doing okay, thanks Moonie
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros
Hug for any night owls
night yogi and moons summer if you pop in
Good morning everyone it's a little brighter this morning perhaps we might get a little sunshine later.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Sunny frosty start here.
About 15% of Virgin Media fixed line phone or television customers have had their phone numbers, home and email addresses on a martketing database openly accessible - not known if that was hacked into. The database did not include passwords or financial details. Virgin sending emails to anyone on that list warning them of the risk of phishing emails, nuisance calls and identity theft.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51760510
Virgin Media say that they have contacted everyone so presumably if you haven't heard from them about this you aren't on that database.
I hope everyone has a good day

As far as I can tell, you would have received a warning email from Virgin yesterday if you had been one of the customers affected, Link to Virgin's page with advice about the breach:
https://www.virginmedia.com/he...mportant-information
Moonie, the first part of the email reads:
We are very sorry to have to inform you that we recently became aware that some of your personal information, stored on one of our databases has been accessed without permission. Our investigation is ongoing but we currently understand that the database was accessible from at least 19 April 2019 and that the information has been recently accessed.
To reassure you, the database did NOT include any of your passwords or financial details, such as bank account number or credit card information.
The database was used to manage information about our existing and potential customers in relation to some of our marketing activities. This included: contact details (such as name, home and email address and phone numbers), technical and product information, including any requests you may have made to us using forms on our website. In a very small number of cases, it included date of birth. Please note that this is all of the types of information in the database, but not all of this information may have related to you.
We take our responsibility to protect your personal information seriously. We know what happened, why it happened and as soon as we became aware we immediately shut down access to the database and launched a full independent forensic investigation. We have also informed the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Given the nature of the information involved, there is a risk you might be targeted for phishing attempts, fraud or nuisance marketing communications. We understand that you will be concerned so we are writing to everybody affected to provide reassurance, guidance and support. We have put all of the latest information on our website https://www.virginmedia.com/help/data-incident, including some advice on how to stay safe online -(the email continues from there but I don't know the actual text)
Good afternoon a pleasant day here, with a busy start here. I’m on my break now and trying to stay awake, I feel sleepy today! 
how are you all?
~Sparkling Summer~ posted:Good afternoon
how are you all?
Hi Sweet
I hope you enjoy your break and stay awake
All is okay here fankoo. Cold but sunny and not much breeze
More news on that Virgin Media data breach:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-51768577
Of the 900,000 customers affected, some 1,100 of them have had sensitive details viewable on the database. That's where a customer has asked Virgin to block or unblock access to websites. Virgin is contacting them again about this.
Evening all
We haven’t received an email from Virgin so hope that means we haven’t been affected by the data breach.
Summer, did you manage to stay awake?
Popped into Morrisons and the soap shelves - liquid and bars - were empty and most of the painkillers were gone too. Looks like the panic buying has started.
Hope everyone has had a good day
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros and Moonie

I haven’t received one either Yogi 👍
Good morning everyone it's an overcast morning and it feels quite chilly.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Weather is rainy and breezy.
I’m hopeful that we haven’t been affected by the Virgin issue, El, and we’re always careful re dodgy emails and phone calls anyway.
Moonie, you are sensible staying in on a day like this
Have a good day, all
El Loro posted:Moonie, as Yogi says, you are sensible to stay in when it's a cold day
Yogi, yes, it's unlikely that you've been affected by that Virgin breach. I haven't either
That’s good, El.

My one and only good idea for this month Yogi 
Just heard this on the radio. It's the English folk song "Dance to Your Daddy". It's a version by Nancy Kerr. It's exhilarating.
The folk song was used as the theme song for the James Bolam series "When the Boat Comes In" but this version is really toe-tapping. And part way through she's singing one tune and playing another which is remarkable.
Goodnight and sweet dreams p, Ros and Moonie

Good morning everyone it's a little brighter this morning. Staying in is the new going out Moonie!
