The Nigerian Scam.....and I'm an all-time winner!

I've had to do a bit (OK, a lot) of registrations for online services this week for the Berlin fieldtrip. I made the mistake of using my Yahoo mail address for some of them.....whoops, remind me not to do THAT again! On Thursday alone I had 10 emails telling me that (in total) I'd won slightly in excess of £15million in various European lotteries (spelling and grammar universally atrocious!) and also could also help out miscellaneous widows, orphans and cancer sufferers, thereby netting a further £8.5million in the process.....and all I needed to do was provide my bank details to rake in the cash. Maybe I'll keep the day job! There's a selection in the shared box for your delectation. DON'T CLICK ON ANY LIVE EMAIL LINKS, unless you want to take them on at their own game!!!!

Check here for some Nigerian scam entertainment UK style "The Massage Parlour Proprietor" counter-scam is particularly good! "Baiting the scammers" could become an Olympic sport!

AND here's some videos...first off, "A Dramatisation of 419".....the typical message, by Ze Frank

then we move into an american "expose" in 4 parts.....
Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

and if you've made it this far, here's a clip about what "they" are doing about it....well, maybe! My money's still on the "let's con the conners" option, at least we could have some fun!

One for Johnny....

....even though he probably never reads this!

Tom Jones.....but, could he still do it today?

The Frug that is? (I'm sure he still manages to pull off the giving of the sweaty hanky to the fat lass in the front row, we'll gloss over the 'snogging sisters stage left' bit....let's not even go there!)

"Sexology" cover, 1964

No comment........except "what the hell was on page 413?"

An answer to the smoking ban?























Put the two together, add a woolly jumper/some stout thermal knickers (double gusset preferred), possibly a pair of wellies.....and it might just work!!!


I want one...and I don't even drive!!

















There's something about vintage camping equipment that appeals. I remember avidly reading Dad's "Amateur Caravanner" (but come to think of it, is there any other sort?.....maybe I've got the title wrong!) checking out the ads for "a complete camping kit (tent, sleeping bags, primus stove etc) for 20gns"....oh, happy days! This above though is the dog's bollocks, you even get a boat!

I won some Southern Comfort in a raffle a while back...

....and now I've found this my life is complete! If there's any left, expect cocktails at that end of term party!

Want a new desktop wallpaper?

I typed in "rendezvous" and got this.....

But then again, you might prefer something more tropical!

Go here to grab lots of nice possibilities.....type in a keyword in the box at the bottom of the page, click on an image you can live with, then when it loads right click and select "Set as background"

(But if you want something with a bit more street cred go to Pixelgirl !)

Lovely, messy, flash game/web art thingy

"game, game, game, and again game is a game/net artwork created by Jason Nelson which is both an interactive flash game but also a ruthless rant against the glossy clean design which bombards the net. Jason attempts to deconstruct this cleanliness by creating an interactive game that is neither clean nor easily readable."
