What to do on the web: Play the signup game:
Here's a game for two if you have a friend, through you can still play and gain a thrill on your tod. To get started, go to a website which features a 'register for free' service and sign in. After you register you'll receive a confirmatory email (which you can have sent to your barely-usable Hotmail account). You use the info on the email to sign back into the site.

How the scoring works: Every site you successfully sign into gains you two points. Every site that rejects you, despite your checking that email, gains you TEN points. To get the high scores you really need to sign up with a pay as you go ISP where you'll get rejected trying to dial up via a modem. As well as winning points, the cost of the calls adds a lot of tension, and fun to the game! Places to start include Tiscali where you can sign up for a £15 a month deal, try to change it later but have your 'sign into the account' rejected repeatedly. You gain loads of points for that. At some point Tiscali will change the log in procedure without telling you such that you will need a completely different User ID and password to the one you have been sent. This means only one thing: you win that game, no problem!
