    to be fair, brian lenihan uses a gmail address. At least he did during the general election. They may have slashed out for a government one for him at this stage

    Our insurance department immediately took the rodent to the vetenary surgeon for inspection to ascertain the cause of death, which it transpired was a case of stuffmefatgutzwivwud, which in laymen's terms means it was poisoned by ingesting too much of the wood from the carving, which also contained various trace chemicals, which encouraged the death even more.

    Over the last few years I have been offered thousands of millions of dollars by the wives/husbands/displaced politicians/captains of industry in Nigeria for the simple expedient of letting them use my bank account to get money out of the country. OK, they needed some financial assistance to complete the deal, and I didn't have the money. For some reason my bank manager flatly refused to lend me the money, which only goes to show that banks and bean counters never grasp real opportunities. Perhaps the only unease in my mind started to develop when I realised that the total amount of money was several times the GRP of the whole of Africa. Oh well. Have to rely on Lotto I guess:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    I Don't know what all you skeptics are on about..
    These offers are completely legitimate

    I currently am dictating this post to my butler, while quaffing from a pint glass of XO brandy, and adjusting my monocle at the sight of the supercar collection parked on the lawn of my mansion in the Carabien.

    My richness and success comes from answering these emails in good faith.
    I found a great agency that will filter out all the fakes and leave you with only the true offers..

    I will be more than willing to share this info with my fellow boardsies.

    In fact I will even bankroll your first transaction.

    However....


    <_<

    >_>

    In order to verify your legitimacy as an appropriate investment I will require US$500, your credit card number, bank account details and sort code.

    Pm me for more details...

    Some of that stuff is class.
    In one of them ("mark of a moron") they apparently got a scammer to get a tattoo as a rite of induction into a "church" and provide a doctor's report attesting to a recent acident he lied about.
    Brilliant.

    The OP could ring them up (via VOIP preferably) and do a soundboard prank call on them maybe.
