xbox, on those registration site, I’m always from Afghanistan, or whatever the already selected country is. Do you know about http://www.mailinator.com ? It’s a great site for generating fake email addresses you only need to use once.

I rant about this on a daily basis, drives me nuts that there it's so difficult to get things that are run-of-the-mill just a few miles across the water. Don't get me started on Irish shops and services that don't seem to list their details anywhere, let alone on the internet. Oh AMEN!

There's no stopping it today!<br/><br/>I hear ya AJ. No one's fault on some stuff. <br/><br/>Still I can't believe how long it took us to catch up on some of the really basic stuff. Someone could have cleared up with some decent ie based online shops a few years ago.<br/><br/>There's still no competition over here for play.com etc Damien. There’s no stopping it today!
