You have my every sympathy! I was trying to fill one up at the
weekend. The first hurdle was that I had to enter my Date of Birth. I
dislike doing that, though I'm quite happy to confirm that I'm over
13. Once I'd done that, with the usual DoB I enter (1/1/1900), I
proceeded to fill up the form, attempt to guess the captcha a few
times before finally getting it right - and was told my DoB was
invalid.
How do they know I'm not 107?!
