He must be getting desperate if he is resorting to these methdos to get votes.  Even Prudence isn’t that desperate and I suspect if you fall for this scam you get everything you deserve!

House of Parliament?

This short and sweet spam came twice.

Hello this is Dr Roger Berry from the British house of parliament, how are you doing today? this email is to remind you of your CONTRACT PAYMENT SUM/ INHERITANCE FUNDS of $5.2 million US dollars, your money is now available for payment. Your attention is needed urgently get back to me immediately.

Dr Roger Berry

Note that it came from the British House of Parliament.  Did he mean Commons or Lords, as there is no House of Parliament, but Houses of Parliament?  Dr. Roger ought to learn to type and punctuate as well.

I needed a good laugh and this crook made me chuckle.

Bikini Record Goes Bust

An attempt at Southend yesterday to break the number of women wearing bikinis failed.

Appearently only 42 turned up, when they needed 1923 to break the record.  Southend must be just too cold.  I though Essex girls were up for anything.

There are some appropriate Essex girl jokes here. It is probably a good idea if you don’t go there, if you can be easily offended or are female and were born in Essex.

Swine Flu

The son of two of my friends, has just been diagnosed with swine flu.  It’s funny, but it seems that mainly the young get it.  Perhaps, Dr. Rosemary on the BBC was right, when she said that older people like me got an immunity in the 1950s.

I’ve just sent them this list of swine flu jokes to cheer them up.

Remember that hangovers are now called wine flu.
