Really f###s me off when my mates forward emails like "send this to 30 people and get some money" more likely to get a smack in the mouth as I don't appreciate my email address being visible to all the other twots the c##t sent it to as well as the other c##ts the twots send it on to after... GAH!

How gullible are folk? Nobody is going to give you money over the internet for nothing. Bill Gates does not want to give you money. Microsoft are not going to shut down hotmail if you don't forward an annoying message on. Zombie children are not going to kill me. However many shags I'm not going to get, I'm still not forwarding any soppy f##king poem!

In fact I'd rather get mail from the Nigerian fuzzy-wuzzy conmen... at least Johnny Foreigner is having a go ... but getting "spam" from your mates is just insulting!

Congratulations. You have just won yourself a place on the scammers 'suckers list'. They will most likely pester you incessantly now.

You've also vastly increased your chances of being a victim of identity theft.

Just delete ALL email from anyone you don't know. Scams like this are very easy to spot.

Romance is definitely dead, there used to be a time when poems were one of the best ways to get a lass to like you :-P

And no I am not expecting you to "read between the lines" and write me one, I do not want a poem! :rolleyes:
Although admittedly just the idea of you trying to write me one is f'kin hilarious :P



Anyway, back on topic, do not be fooled young man hangman!

Writing one is different, and yes that is romantic.

Forwarding one on hotmail however is just annoying!

Normally best using another email address even when replyin tbh. They couldn't care who they sent it to they just want a reply and to real someone in!
