 My Bank is killing their ability to send verification codes to email
addy's. I've done that since about 2010 when I opened the account. I
don't *have* a fucking mobile 'phone for them to be sent to. I told
the branch manager that. He told me that I'd need to *phone* their
"helpdesk" to be confirmed as my being an obnoxious, Luddite,
uncompromising, nasty little arsehole and for them to allow me to be
an exception. 

 I don't have a landline at home. 

 So I used a borrowed mobile. A lovely guy helped me to be one of
those little swampy bits that developers just have to build around. He
was nice and, for once, actually *helpful*. 

 We'll see in a couple of months whether it worked. :)

 I'm not expecting it to. 

 Companies are uncompromising shits.
