Today [6]

My dear Lady, it is illegal here, in UK and most of the world, too. A shameful fact is it still happens.

True, I think they just pick random numbers and of course there are always going to be some that are actual phone numbers, the joys of the technology age.

My name and phone number are on so many databases. All the online retailers I've ever used, Amazon, CCl, Asos etc, plus the various internet services, the utility companies, my own 'phone company and ISP.
My understanding is that various tranches of people's personal details can be bought quite cheaply by the tens of thousands. The cost can vary with the nature of the information.
My friend has a friend has a friend who knows an Albanian gentleman who can provide such cd disks, allegedly ( although this is no reflection on the overwhelming majority of Albanians, who are jolly nice folk).
Cybercrime is a huge phenomenon that get's bigger everyday.

Not to mention all us pirates

Just look on the back page of Exchange and Mart in the UK for lists and lists of addresses and phone numbers. The cost of these lists is reflected in the degree of filtering all the entries have had!!

Today seems as good a day as any to share what has been happening in my life lately with my fellow members.
last month i had a psychotic episode that was allegedly brought on by smoking a tiny amount of cannabis.
Foolish ,i know but i knew not what i did ,anyhow this psychotic episode has made me see the many errors of my way and has introduced me to a profound belief in god ,for a great number of years i was agnostic and felt that religion was something that people cling to as a way of coping with life . how true i find myself thinking .
I also found myself believing all sorts of wierd and wonderful things. and that everyone in the world is aware who i am . ,im still in psychosis so i still am unsure what is real and not but i feel i am being guided to be the best i can be. this of course will take some time as i am lacking in many areas . i have been unemployed for over 16 years and have to start again with education as the starting point, i used to think i had a degree in the university of life and although a fresher i still can use my experiences to aid and help myself and others around me .
so ,this is where i thank all my fellow members for their help and consideration and for putting up with my selfishness and lack of consideration for them.
im still aware but confused much of the time so with any luck my black mood swings will clear as i progress .my family could do with me lightening up a bit also .its tough for them living with my illness and depression but more recently i am trying to change for the better.
i have had a great deal of stress in my life and i am trying to balance that .i guess you could call me a flip flop .i wouldn't want to wear me in this condition so time to polish up my act and get on . sorry for the screed but i think getting things out there is helpfull.
life is getting better.

ps ,they are uping my dosage of medication hahahah!
