LOL………….but funnily enough…………….I was trying to join something today, trying to sort out my daughters old phone to new phone transfer and every username I put it, it told me was already in use, even if I put in gobbledygook!! I gave up in the end.

It's no laughing matter, really.

Some websites can be unbelievably stupid. I have been told many times that my Post Code in invalid', and it's existed for over two years.

The other day I was told that my date of birth was not a valid date.
Don't they know there can be 24 days in a month and people do live into their eighty-ninth year?

Computers are supposed to be clever, but sometimes they are just stupid.

I had to change my password the other day on a site I'd not used for a few years, it wouldn't let me have my usual password again as it was too much like my old one
