A good friend of mine Adewale in Nigeria still uses an Yahoo email address.

He is trying very hard to send me some money for a business deal we are conducting at the moment

I do hope his Yahoo account will not be hacked as he is very rich and innocent in these matters!

Hey - I still use Yahoo mail

The reason I haven't switched to gmail is that I have a stupid gmail address. But I can't create a new one because that address is associated with my android phone and therefore my play store account. I don't think I can be signed into an android phone with one account and use the gmail app with another

So what I did instead was:

- Change my yahoo password
- Change my actual name by deed poll
- Bought a time machine and went back in time to before I got my first pet, and got a new first pet with a different name

Couldn't you have killed the infant Hitler on the way?
Oh hang on, half of us wouldn't be here because our great/grand/parents would never have met.....
