If only they could hack the navigation systems of those fucking Foxtons Minis and get them to drive into a cesspit.

More on the alleged Foxtons hack here: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-08/20/foxtons-allegedly-hacked

Estate agent Foxtons is currently investigating a possible data breach, which may have resulted in the personal information of 10,000 customers being compromised.
A list including the email addresses, usernames and passwords, many partially obscured, of alleged MyFoxtons users was posted on Pastebin and linked to on several security sites, but has now been removed.
The list is still available elsewhere, reports PCPro.co.uk andSoftpedia.
"We have been able to download the list of usernames and passwords that were posted and are currently running checks to determine its veracity," Foxtons said in an email toMyFoxtons users.
Although the list doesn't contain financial information like credit card details, access to a user's MyFoxtons account could allow a person access to their home address and phone number.
Additionally, a hacker could gain access to MyFoxtons' features that allow landlords to electronically sign documents, manage the payments of rents online and see the deposit registration numbers of their tenants, according to this online demo.

Shame, they seem such nice people too.

Oh well, roll on part 2,3,4.....

*serious face*
I hope that everyone in Foxtons is okay. I'm sorry for your loss.
My thoughts tonight are with the many selfless and upstanding local communitarians who bought / sold property with them.
I think it would be appreciated if we could each find the time tomorrow to deliver some flowers to their office along with a heartfelt note, expressing how much they mean to the local community.

 

[boohoo]

Just got this email from TFL:


This sounds like it might slightly inconvenience me, and that's clearly not on. I think it would be best if all the rest of you stop using the station for the duration of the disruption, thereby maximising my chances of a stress free, quiet journey.

Please inform others, if enough people stay away I shouldn't have any problems getting a seat.

You work in Victoria- use the overground!!!

*insert facepalm here!!!!*

I could actually make that set, I'm usually up by 7am

I have actually had one of Mike's famous tours in Detroit, it was pretty good. He absolutely loves Brixton, nothing like it in the States.

Manter, there's a Russian baker at the farmers' market on Sundays, he usually has home-made strudel.

3 trains an hour, compared to a train every 3 minutes.

The longer I have to linger on a platform, the greater the chance some random stranger might attempt to say something to me. And that would just ruin my whole day.

There is usually only anywhere between 3 to 8 people getting on the train. Ok - lots of people get off the train but they are so panicked about getting to the tube station that they won't bother you.

go on try the train!!

Sunday is very far away however, anything could happen by Sunday...
