Hi all. Long time no see, but if you read on you'll understand.
Two months ago, I was the victim of a house fire - I was over in ireland at the time- my mum was at home, but don't worry she's fine. However, as the epicentre of the fire was my room I lost pretty much all my personal possesions, books, CDs clothing etc (and a hand written letter from Mr. Webber, which was particularly galling).
Anyway the point is, I lost my laptop, and on my laptop was over 8 hours worth of Pulp recordings, both rarities and live gigs. I'd love to get them back, but thanks to Yahoos new security measurements I can't access the Bar Italia mail address. Does anyone here know of an alternative archive, where I could possibly retrieve the recordings?
Much obliged,
Sarah x
Sarah, I don't think I can help with replacing your recordings but just wanted to say how terribly sorry I am about what you've gone through. Good luck with eventually re-finding all the rarities you have lost. Panther x
I'm sorry to hear about that but I can get into the Yahoo accounts so I will simply download everything that's there and get it to you somehow (if I put them all in a zip file, I could send it via one of those file transfer sites). It will probably be tomorrow before I get chance to do it though
Thanks guys. Don't be in a hurry. I dont have replacement computer yet. All the money the insurance is sending us is going on new furniture for our new flat.
Failing all else, happy to send you my collection on a stick - it's 2.2 days according to iTunes, mostly gigs. Best of luck getting everything back together.
Hi Sarah - sorry to hear about all that. sounds a nightmare.
There was a problem quite recently with someone not being able to access one of the yahoo accounts, 2007 I think, and I realised I coiuldn't either as I have a newish laptop that hadn't accesssed it before, but I could access the 2005 one. A while ago I did reset all the security questions to the same thing in the hope that this wouldn't happen again, but yahoo seem to have changed their system. I looked at the 2005 security settings and the secondary email that gets the codes. It looked like it was possible to change the way it manages security so it is less onerous and doesn't depend on a single account owner, i.e. turn off the 2-step verification..

Sarah I'm so sorry for what you've gone thru!
But wow, what a response...Pulp fans, still the best. Proud of you guys.
ps sorry I've not been around lately either. Intense relationship, messy breakup!
It must be so horrible for you to lose that letter from Mark. Alex once sent me Candida's own copy of the Something Changed video on VHS, before the advent of YouTube, I can't imagine how I'd feel if I lost that. You have my deepest sympathy.
