Phorm boss blogs from a dark, dark place

Mat

If Kent's product is worth *anything*

He will let it speak for itself and not be bothered about whether or not the Security Experts like it or not. Surely all this crying about a conspiracy theory is just drawing attention to his product as the worthless invasion of privacy that it is! that it is!

re:two hands

-----------------------------

Last time I looked, most civil servants had two hands so a computer for each hand seems sensible especially when they are making all these efficiency savings.

Most civil servants have also got two faces which further strengthens your case!

Lord Ahmed faces dangerous driving charge

Mat

This one time..

on the M1. I was driving home from work. I was in lane 1 doing about 70 mph. Coming towards me (relatively) was a potted plant. I thought "Crikey - What's that doing there?" I swerved to avoid it and then saw a three seat sofa and a double bed meandering from the hard shoulder to lane 3 and back again – After I managed to convince myself I had not been magically transferred into a game of Super Mario Kart.

I managed to avoid all three items and the protagonist was identified - A furniture van had shed its load. It was the most surreal moment of my life!

Charities..

If everyone wrote to these charities and let them know that they would no longer donate to them if they accepted money from Phorm - I'm sure they'd soon re-think their stance.
