right enough... if some idiot sends them £50,000 then its almost pure profit... do that twice a year and you've got yourself a 6 figure salary :eek:

reminds me of the time i was going to set up a company called "gay paedo fuckslut dolls ltd" and charge $49.95 for a wee rubber doll with holes.... i mean surely no-one is going to complain to their bank when their order doesnt arrive

So, by the time I have received that Viagra ad for the 12th millionth time, I'll be like, "Oh, what the fuck, might as well stock up."

eMMI

sadly the answer is yes. :rolleyes:

also, I used to work with a girl who got an email saying she'd won some international lottery thing and that the lottery folks would wire the money to her account after she'd filled out a basic questionnaire. she'd have to fill in her name and account number and quite a few other things, I can't remember.

point being, the email was CLEARLY phoney. written in very poor English too and addressing that said friend of mine Sir/Madam. lol.

but she thought it was for real! she said that she hadn't participated in any lotteries but still thought surely she could've won something. :eek:

I put a lot of work into changing her mind about replying to the damn email.

before that, I always thought she was smart.

I spent my 3 week honeymoon in Belize and that might be about right. Kidding. The wife and I really enjoyed the hard-core week we spent in the jungle.

I now own 50% of Prince Wakotinga's emailing emporium.

As for Viagra I don't need it. I use a cocktail stick as a splint.

I think it really depends on what you are after. Like I said, our favorite part was the time we spent with an eco-adventure outfit in the jungle. We spent quite a bit of time in the huge cave systems, tubed underground rivers, climbed underground waterfalls, and you will probably hear about the famous black-hole drop. I recommend it. Basically a 300 foot free rappel off a cliff face into a giant sink hole below the jungle floor. From there, we split with the main party and my wife and I were escorted into deep caves where the mineral formations illuminate the walls like nothing I have ever seen before. Watch out for the Devil Spiders. My wife and I were left underground by the guide and we spent the night in a huge cave with a river and waterfall we could play in. It was a little dark and spooky but the bats kept us company.

I’ll PM the rest. Might take awhile.

I get a handful of spam emails everyday.
I also find it astonishing how many times I have logged on a website and amazingly been the 1000,000th person that day, and am entitled to a huge cash prize, or sometimes a nice new Audi .I must have lucky dust on my keyboard finger

yeah, i'm not in control of the Scottish Governments entire anti-spamming software though... but i'll phone the head honcho tomorrow and tell him that he must listen to know1.



Dear Scottish First Minister

I know you're busy, but any chance you could drop all you're hard work and sort out the spam? Its just that i got an email today about viagra.

thanks
