What fun.

This is the latest one to look out for (click to enlarge):



It's very sneaky in that it has links to the spoof email tutorial. I didn't click the link from the email and neither should you - this just verifies you as a target for this sort of nonsense.

I'm tired of fake email tutorials.

I'm tired of idiotic spammers who ask inane questions and expect you to give your credit card details for "verification" purposes.

I have a simple solution.

Get all the spammers together in a big group.

Make a big fire underneath them.

Toast marshmallows.


I'm sure they'll find out what it feels like soon enough.

Sounds simple doesn't it?

I admit it. I get caught up in buying stuff. It's fun. I put a bid on for a Nokia 7000 and something model - a fancy flip shell phone with a camera. Then I regretted it. Then I prayed for someone to outbid me, and finally they did. (Hooray!)

I realised how wrong it was for me in so many ways:

1. The flip thing would annoy me after about 5 hours of using it. I don't care if you're Elle MacPherson - NOBODY looks good in a 1 megapixel camera/phone photo!! I'm better off buying a digital camera if I decide I want one.

2. I don't care if I can send videos and stuff - when I use a phone I usually send a text like "I'll be at the station at 6:30pm see you soon"? - I am unlikely to send that person a video of myself on the train, waving.

3. 'Fashion'? phones are just that. And they go out of fashion. And then you look like a dork.

I realised I needed a phone that didn't flip, open up into a keyboard and pretend to be a computer, swivel, attach to my head like the Borg (see photo!), or wash my clothes.






Has anyone else noticed this? Am I the only one? These things look like the Borg!! People have been assimilated!!! It has begun!!!

I needed a phone that made phone calls. And sent text messages.

And that's it.

Sometimes simple is better.
