I won a prize draw by a dodgy nigerian syndicate. the Coca Cola company.

Apparently, Stamford has moved to London, away from it's tradiaitional location of near Peterborough.

And they're currenly sensitizing the public.

Are people really fooled by these things? 

Went to a car boot sale with C. and J.

Purchases:

Me - GTA: Vice City, keyboard adapter, batteries for laser pointer
J.: Unidentified piece of electronics (15p), and a dreamcast keyboard.
C.: My little pony jigsawss. Two puzzles (with conveniently different backs) in one box. Seemed to be a greek version.

We were going to go for a walk anbd take photos and stuff after, but we woz all too hot. I was pleased to get to drive my car somewhere for a change though. C. didn't seem too pleased with my fondness for taking those corners quickly. But it's a nippy small car. Country roads are what it does best! Anyway, I almost got a tan. Unfortunately I tend to go lobster coloured.

So, we watched some Oh My Goddess videos that C. had bought a couple of days before from a charity shop. These are a real con when sold new. They only put one episode on each tape. The DVDs aren't that much better. The 5 half-hour-episodes came on 2 separate full price discs.

C. asked us to assist with checking her pony jigsaws had all their pieces. Since it was such a girly picture, J. decided to flip it upside down and do the back. I helped. It's a lot harder that way round. C. now very smug, and decided to post a "look what I found" on her message board.

Turned out that the weird piece of electronics was an X-box mod chip. Typical value about £25.

I finally have a selection of kitchen utensils. Still have no idea what happened to my knife. Well, not quite full, but enough for the time being. Need more plates.

Oddity with scam baiting (I will write this up sometime). I received an application form to transfer the money to my account. I filled it in, and got into a long discussion with the remmitance department, who seemed to want to know my associates phone number. Clearly the person I sent it to wasn't anything to do with the scam, but why did it have his email address on it? The only thing I can think of is that he copied the thing verbatim, and didn't change the address.

C. seemed to think that baiting scammers was an odd and disturbing hobby. This is a bit rich from someone who modifies My Little Ponies as a hobby.

Oh yes - C. received a scam in German. I sent it to the appropriate authorities - The Nigerian Scam baiting message board.

Sigh, these Nigerian scammers seem ot have lost interest in me. I think they've twigged that they're not going to get any cash from either of my personalities.

The story - I replies as Arnold J. Rimmer, but that all seemd a little dull, so I decided to mention him to a friend, and then deny all knowledge of it. Tony was a lot more fun.

My other incarnation has just headed off to London to meet with the security company, so we'll see how confusing we can get. He seems to be getting tired of that guy though.

I've started another

Admittedly, my use of English is not that great there. I'm stretching definitions to breaking point. It doesn't really matter though. My aim is to be incomprehensible.

I'll put these on a website if anything amusing happens.

Also discovered a forum for other scam baiters. My comments caused a Mr Stu DeBaker Hawke to email me. Seems to want me to join his team. His email was a little cryptic.

100 Worst Britains is on in the background. Channel 4's 100 lists of lists is starting to get a bit tiring. I would have liked to have nominated all those talking heads they use to add commentary. Most of these people seem to have a career of these things, and they're not that funny! And really, they have no right to criticise these people for being opinionated.
