    There's a € key?

    Yes - it's hidden under Bertie Ahearn's mattress and you;d be amazed what it opens.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Did my balancing statement for last year and I owe €280. Bummer! But they spread it out over the year so it isn't too bad.

    Was it from a successful Nigerian businessman? :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,556 ✭✭✭the_monkey


    I clicked the link in a VM and filled in some bogus info ... time wasting ...


    my address is something like

    52 Calle de la Puta
    Putaville
    **** land

    It's mad how these people know you are due a refund. Just like they know about the horny housewives in my area or my small penis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,644 ✭✭✭✭punisher5112


    I usually return Clancy Wigam, 123 Fake Street, Springfield.

    I would say a Nigerian Business man would be accurate.

    Haven't had any of these in a few years. remember use to even receive letters in the post.

    Gmail is usually spot on in filtering these, the odd one gets through tho ..

    Just as a matter of interest, what area do you live in?

    (Interested in the horny housewives....not the small willy)
