I mean I love Blessed and think he ought to be made king purely on the basis of looking and sounding much more like a king than any living royal, but those kids wearing the earpiece are going to get tinnitus if he is dungeon master. crispix fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Jun 24, 2017 |

I wonder how McTernan would react if you could take a time machine back to when he was writing that article and tell him that in two years time he'd be tweeting his support for "Britain's next Prime Minister" Jeremy Corbyn.

So after a week of not being able to call anyone in the UK and assuming Australia's beloved telecoms monopoly was loving up as usual, my folks have found out what the problem is. All international calls to the UK from private phone numbers are being blocked for "security reasons". To call into the UK from an unlisted number you now have to add a prefix, state your name and await permission from someone at BT. I'm not sure if they're expected to silently divine your level of subversiveness or just check that your name isn't "al-Baghdadi", but the whole thing is bizarre. This seems to be a new thing but I've not heard or read anything about it anywhere. Call me a cynic, but I don't see what this is supposed to achieve other than "gently caress your privacy". I thought I'd pass this along in case anyone here has family members overseas who might be having trouble calling. The prefix they were given is "1832" but I'm not sure if that's from everywhere or just Australia. That, plus I've been lurking for fifteen loving years and I need to learn to  because it's downright embarrassing at this point.

Cuazl posted:So after a week of not being able to call anyone in the UK and assuming Australia's beloved telecoms monopoly was loving up as usual, my folks have found out what the problem is. What a shame, your first post is total bollocks. Okay, just to shut up Ober, I'll explain - your parents have activated the Nuisance Calls Blocker on their phone service - it goes by a couple of different names on different providers. This is a system that allows people to screen calls. It's nothing to do with "security reasons" and BT aren't screening your calls, your parents are, and presumably don't quite understand how the system works. How it's supposed to work is that you give your name, it rings their phone and asks them "Do you want to accept a call from <you saying your name>" and they hit a button on their phone to let the call go through. There are a couple of different modes it can work in - one only allows calls from whitelisted numbers through, one screens all non-whitelisted numbers (including ones with CLI withheld) through the system I explained up there, and one just allows you to set up a blacklist of numbers. this is the site for BT's system, point them at that for help configuring it. e: And to be extra helpful, ten seconds of Googling reveals that "1832" is Telstra's prefix for adding CLID to your call when you have it usually disabled. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Jun 24, 2017 |

Pissflaps posted:Are you sure that's not a withheld number screening service your parents have enabled on their line ? They're in Australia, calling multiple UK numbers, which were all being blocked. I don't think you can apply to have your own outgoing calls blocked. In any case, it's only been happening for the last week. They called Telstra, since it's usually their fault, but got told it's a BT/UK Government thing. Then they called the UK using that prefix and got a robot message from BT saying 'state your name for security reasons'. So yeah, I'm pretty sure.

Josef bugman posted:From what I'd seen I didn't think Tom Watson was that bad, just another person obsessed with the cult of "electability". Watson never outright attacked Corbyn in the media like some politicians, but he was absolutely on the opposing side. He essentially did nothing to help or support Corbyn while in shadow cabinet, then when the coup happened he adopted the line that sadly Corbyn had to go since he didn't have the support of MPs. He has always used his position on the NEC to vote for stuff that is bad for Corbyn, like blocking new members from voting, and he's widely rumoured to have been deeply involved with the Blairites behind the scenes. For example his name always comes up when people talk about who moved the time of a conference call or appointed a special committee or any other gaming of the rules to try and put Corbyn at a disadvantage.
