well gib... if it's illegal then you could sue (or whatever they call it in the UK) for publishing private information to the public and get some nice birthday cash flowing your way and maybe they will even send you a new jersey with the numbers right, but the team wrong It could be worse, they could have sent you a Celtic jersey

Yes there is that. Replacement is on the way and i hope for them, it's right. They are still going to get a nasty letter from me anyway, just for putting me through all this, not to mention the personal data issue, which is wrong on so many levels

That's pretty shoddy work they've done. Did they miss an apostrophe as well? definitely an odeary on their part. Hope you get nicely compensated Gib

And it does does seem to be true... Gibbon was born in the age of the "Internet"
1962-63: Working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), J.C.R. Licklider authored a series of memos concerning theoretical network structures. His concept of a Galactic Network envisioned a world-wide computer network in which computer terminals would be linked to one another, allowing anyone with access to a terminal the ability to access and send information to other computers and users. While working at the Department of Defenses Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), Licklider stressed the importance of realizing this network design to his colleagues who would later go on to realize elements of the Galactic Network concept in the actualized form of the ARPANET, an early predecessor to the Internet.
Anyway glad you are still kicking Gibbon and hope you have 50 more!
Your friend,
Zeus

Way to make even me feel old Zues... I've used the ARPANET in my lifetime... Then Telnet.... Then the primitive versions of the world wide web before it became the cluster of sites it is today... I even remember paper tape! *sits back and watches the youngin's scratch their heads as they try to figure out what paper tape is*
