Dumbest scam ever

We’ve all received those so-called ‘Nigerian fraud emails’ saying “you’ve won $x“, or “I need to transfer $x millions into your account”, etc. How anyone ever falls for them is beyond me, they’re such obvious scams. But this one I received today really takes the cake. It’s just blatantly asking for personal details - and it [...]

  • Petrol should be cheaper
    November 11, 2009 | 10:08 pm

    The Australian dollar is now at 93 US cents and oil is about $US78 a barrel.  At the current price of $A1.20 litre for petrol we are paying at least 25% too much.  What’s going on?

  • Taking a week off in hospital
    September 6, 2009 | 8:33 pm

    Tomorrow, I am to be booked into the Benalla Hospital for about a week but you won’t notice a difference because this web site is all but automated.

    I have been on morphine since my prostate cancer was diagnosed back in April 2008.  As time goes by, the body becomes immune and the dosage has to be increased.  The current dose is 100 mg both morning and evenings with liquid shots as required to manage the pain breakthrough.

    The objective is to infuse some other pain killer through a tube into the stomach whilst my body adjusts to going without the ‘Hillbilly Heroin”.  I have been told that it is not a comfortable time and that the side effects are a build-up of fluids and an increase in appetite.  I am genuinely not looking forward to the process.

  • Too much sex in Wodonga
    August 14, 2009 | 9:21 am

    Well, I have followed the Wodonga twitters all week and as the can’t get ttheir tweets above the navel, I have duly removed that wicked town from the Twitter search and added Yarrawonga in its place.

    I’m sure those looking for sex tweets already know how to find them.

  • Sex in Wodonga
    August 9, 2009 | 3:49 pm

    On the blog pages, I have a column titled, What the twits are discussing generated from a Twitter search of the town names in the border area.

    Unfortunately, I will probably have to remove Wodonga from the search as the column is being overrun by tweet ads for swinging and sex in all its various forms.  It seems the border area is becoming a hotbed for fun times.  Todays listing is made up of 40% sex ads out of Wodonga.  Of the five Wodonga tweets, four are sex ads.

    I’ll leave it for a week and, if the ratio doesn’t drop, I will remove Wodonga from the Twitter search list.

    You may accuse me of censorship, but my blogs represent my morality and having sex ads automatically inserted into my work does not represent my moral standards.
