In actual fact - I designed the web site for the company, my father is a
director of the company - and in return for my web design services they
installed garden lighting for me at my house.

It just gets better doesn't it!

The spammer said:
"The guys that came to do the work, were friendly and polite"

Not surprising really - daddy owns the company!

Now, now, don't exaggerate - he didn't SAY that - not quite.

He should take notice of the very wise saying "When you are at the
bottom of a pit, it is time to stop digging." But he probably won't.

I once had to live on spam for a couple of weeks. Not that that
remark is any more relevant than his postings ....

Possibly. I don't really think he understands the basics of Usenet.

used it personally ....

I had to fill in a form recently for a job application and filled in
RPGII as one of my programming languages................the nice young
man at the agency looked at me as if I had crawled out from under a
stone............:~(

They had a little article about you, giving your name and address in
today's Barnet Times.

Thanks for that info June.

Which was it for, the H.M.S.Collingwood Association Reunion, the British
Pacific and East Indies Fleets Reunion, the River Class Association
Reunion Dinner, the Fred Olson 'Black Prince' Cruise or the article
about the National Service (Royal Air Force) Association?

I have terrific feedback from the 'Letter to the Editors' I write to,
but I never know which paper has done which letter until I get feed back
and the person actually tells me which paper they saw it in.

If anyone else sees a letter from me in their local paper, a quick email
would be appreciated as not all writers tell me, and I do write to over
500 local papers around the country :-))

and if anyone is looking for anyone who is ex Service, drop me an email
and I will see what I can do. I do have well over 10,000 current names
and address's of Royal Navy and Royal Air Force people and a growing
number of Army personnel as well now.

Cost? Nothing, it's a hobby.

Many thanks

Mike
