There are some lovely people around. A few of them in particular like to send me heartwarming e-mails about guardian angels and how friendship is forever. I should pass these on to at least ten other people, so as not to break the chain apparently.
So I've set up a special folder in my almost infinitely large
gmail mailbox.
It's a bit like my spam folder, but the contents are much more sugary.
Just in case you're unfortunate enough not to have any such mail yourself, I enclose one below...

Let me know what happens to you the morning after you open this e-mail.
This is an unusual one.
It actually gives you a time tomorrow..
Let's see if it works.
GUARDIAN ANGEL
Forward this message the same day you received it. It may sound ridiculous, but it is right on time. We believe that something is about to happen. Angels exist, only sometimes they haven't got wings and we call them friends; you are one of them. Something wonderful is about to happen to you and your friends. Tomorrow at 11:09 AM somebody will address you and tell you some thing you have been waiting to hear.
Please do not break this. Send it to at least 7 of your friends! |

I occasionally get that kind of thing from a friend of mine in Canada, but she sends them 'cos she thinks they're funny.
By the way, is it just me or have fake rolex watches become the new viagra? (in terms of spam email)
I've actually got some quite nasty and intimidating ones, that promise that something unpleasant might happen if you fail to pass on the mail. Like the death of a close relative kind of nasty. Not had one for a while mind. I rarely check my spam folder. I do get the usual crop of fake watch/meds/degrees stuff. Not really noticed any kind of change in prevalence, but I must admit, it's not something I've been paying any attention to.
I just got one of these and was wondering whether to delete it. Since there were no posts since November ( it's 6th December today) I'll delete it and miss out on my good luck (even though I could really do with some!
