They now say ...some of them... that its a hoax, so I'll leave you to make your own minds up. I never open emails from unknown sorces anyway.

I have seen these before, I would not open anything unless I knew what it was, but in this case I think it is just scaremongering . . . There are definitely enough weirdos around in this world

[Val]

Yep how right you are Derek. ;D

[Derekthefox]

Not sure how to take that Val  ;D ;D ;D

[Val]

 ;D ;D...err anyway you want...mmwah. ;D

[Derekthefox]

Ha ha Val, then I will presume you don't class me as one of those wierdos, although my sanity is rather questionable, as evidenced by my other postings . . . and then there is that mmwah . . .  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks Mac, kindred spirits then Derek...I'm not exactly insane...more out of it... ;D

[Derekthefox]

Thanks Mac, as seen from the date, it has been roaming for a while . . .

insane? yes that is interesting, still it is not easy to think properly with me muzzle and straightjacket on  ;D ;D ;D

Changing the subject, just realised, it is Friday, party night! Hope there are enough seats in the chatroom tonight. Will be wearing my formal straightjacket tonight, freshly pressed, and my abalone inlaid muzzle ha ha ha.
