Orange Wants To Charge Me £1.50 Per Month For My Bill

First Orange decides that it should charge me 10p per minute if I dare call a freephone / tollfree 800 number. Now in my monthly bill, I learn as of July 1, they want to charge me £1.50 to keep sending me an itemized list of my calls. It gets better. If I do nothing, they’ll just automatically assume I want this to happen. I have 10 days to text them and change my bill. That’s hard, of course, given that I live in an Orange black zone and have no coverage. I guess I’ll have to remember to do this next time I drive into town and get a signal. To be fair, you can apparently still get a full itemized list by logging in online. But it would have been nice if they gave you a discount for going paperless, rather than a premium to still get the paper bill but one without itemization. Time for a new provider, I think — maybe one that gives plans that make sense, rather than those named after cute animals. The future is bright, and it ain’t going to be Orange.

Thinking of dropping your link spam? Consider this. Seriously, STOP & READ. The guy who runs Google's spam fighting team? I know him pretty well. In fact, it's sort of a joke between us to see what's the latest absurd link drop I can share. So if you want your site to be a poster child on his idiots wall -- and probably to encounter a Google penalty -- go ahead, drop your link. It's nofollow anyway, plus I do have built-in spam fighting and what gets past that usually gets nabbed in a few minutes to a few hours. So you got to ask yourself. Are you feeling lucky?
