Match reports and other assorted crap

Just to let you all know, we’ve changed our email address to kingcricket@hotmail.co.uk.

Our old email provider, Bluebottle, said we had to start paying for their service. They gave us 72 hours notice.

Any of the following will be more than welcome at the new address:

(1) Match reports. Keep them brief and under no circumstances mention the actual cricket.
(2) Animals being conspicuously indifferent to cricket.
(3) Pictures of signs saying ‘moron centre’.

Basically, send any old crap. Our standards are nice and low.

    BlueTie has a free hosted email service (and they’ve been in business 8 years) that allows you to use a custom domain name. I’ve used it for 2 years now and it works great.

    What a bunch of dropkicks – they seriously think people will pay for email?

    On a related note, why don’t you utilise your domain email? eg reports@kingcricket.co.uk or similar?

    Google now offer free domain based email hosting with the tidy gmail interface to go with it.

    Cheers,
    Moses.

    Oh i’ll second moses there… i use my personal domain in conjunction with gmail, never paid a penny. Google may be evil whores, but the end result is very very good.

    We did think of using a proper, grown-up domain name email address, but we were in a bit of a rush with the 12 hours notice we got from Bluebottle and it all seemed a bit tricky.

    We’ll bear those solutions in mind when we’ve a bit more time to look into things.

    I’m contemplating in horror the concept of Spiggy’s “personal domain”. Probably filled with half-eaten jammy dodgers and James Blunt CDs
