Get Rich, Or Die ..Phishing

Today, I was lucky enough to receive this generous offer in my email..

Damn, the scammers have learned English and this nonsense is nearly gramatically correct. They've even made an attempt to make the MSN and Rocketmail addresses vaguely plausible.

Feel free to respond if you really want to give them your house.

When Saturday Comes

Yay! Just checked the footie fixtures for the rest of the year and wonderful news -- practically all of our remaining home games are on Saturdays at 3:00pm.

This is when I like to go to the Bridge. It's what I was brought-up on and is the traditional time for fixtures pre-dating the advent of Monday evening and Sunday morning kick-offs dictated by the great God Murdoch and his lucrative broadcast wonga.

The only remaining question is will we be able to win at home in 2009? Something we miserably failed to do in '08.

Either way and for what it's worth, they'll have me cheering on from Shed lower through to mid-May..

Carefree.
