I've resigned as Prime Minister of Ireland

When the Irish Times opened up their Ireland.com domain to free email registration recently I quickly nabbed the novelty address of [email protected] reckoning that would be far more beneficial to the cultivation of international relations than the parochial [email protected] ;-)

I sent a few test emails without trouble and drafted a concilliatory message to Sarkozy before.... real world email got in the way. Sadly it appears I didn't read the Term and Conditions of use too well (who the hell ever does?) because I missed this bit -

In particular, "c. impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, an Ireland.com official, forum leader, guide or host, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent an affiliation with a person or entity;"

That's the bit Ronan from tech support kindly pointed out to me this morning before adding - "Having an email name such as [email protected] has the potential to be misconstrued, so we have had no alternative to lock the account."

Now why didn't I send that note to Obama while I had the chance?

Sorry to here about your trouble but thanks for the idea.

Look, if there is anything, I mean anything I can help you out with just say. I do now have some *cough* influence thanks to you.

Resignation? I think you were pushed :p

[James Corbett]

@Don, shush,... don't let the media get wind of that ;-p

That's a shame. Prime Time have just finished their series on Bertie and I'm sure will be looking for another faux scandal to document. Watch out...
