It's the recession.

More and more people can't afford the massive bandwidth required when you click the forum and it r0x0rs your ISP's b0x0rs.

I blame global warming.

People are sitting down getting ready to post and then thinking "bloody hell, it's too hot for this!"

Blimey, you're probably the only person here who remembers that!

Cut me some slack, it is mid-week after all (and therefore dangerously close to Monday).

It turns out the glowing lights were Chinese lanterns:



However, this does not explain the fast moving dot zig-zagging in the sky...

Hmm. It's said 99% of UFO sightings can be logically explained. I guess this would be an example of that, but it does make you wonder about that mystery 1% that we'll never get an answer to.

Holy crap!

I've just got an email from the FBI telling me I've won loads of money in their monthly lottery



Spammers. You gotta love some of the stuff they make up to try and scam people.

[ChrisF]

Trouble is, even though the content might be daft, so long as the email doesn't bounce they know they have a valid email address and will continue to spam. Also if there's any images in the email, and you download them, then that also lets them know they can spam you more.

Scum

No way man, I don't think the FBI would lie about something like this.

Has anybody ever seen an ice cream van refueling? I've never seen one at a petrol station.

In other news, there's a new game out called Wii Water Sports...
That's a pretty literal title. I wonder how you hold the Wiimote?

Oh wait, it's surfing, sailing and stuff.

I just got a spam email with the subject - [adult_subject]

They're not even trying anymore.

[ChrisF]

And yet it still made its way through various spam filters (at your ISP etc...) to your inbox!

No, come to think I haven't even seen an ice cream for ages. I do know it's winter. My mum once had an ice cream van, I should ask where she re-fueled it.

[Spatial]

We get one that comes around here all year round. Even in the middle of winter when it snows.

But the guy who runs it is clearly a bit mental. He drives like a bat out of hell which makes the `Slow Children` sign on the back a bit ironic.

Or perhaps it's not just a warning about speed and he's just commenting on the kids being thick enough to buy ice cream in the winter.

It's an old lineone/tiscali/talktalk email. You had to pay to get spam filters!

I've just got another one from (and I quote) FBI Headquarters in Wash.

Just how would one go about getting the whole FBI headquarters in the wash?!
