Go Trinidad and Tobago!

The World Cup is upon us again, and whilst I am not the world biggest soccer fan, I love jumping on bandwagons. Two years ago I got right into the European Cup, and drew Portugal in the sweep at work. They made it to the final, where the guy who drew Greece (a Greek, incidentally, but that’s a given at my school) wanted to split the winnings 50-50 regardless of who won. I chose not to, and Greece won, meaning I missed out on about $60 or so. Oh well. This year, I’m fairly sure I won’t get that opportunity. See, I drew Trinidad & Tobago in the sweep. They are playing Sweden first, and are also in a pool with the UK, and Paraguay.

Spooky Spam Sender

Always Attempt Alliteration. Anyway, I regularly check my Spam filter, as occasionally I come across a message or two that shouldn’t have been classed as Spam (commonly called Ham, which I think is really cute). Often, I will look at sender names to sort this out. Today, I got a nasty surprise. One of the girls I have coached, and now play Touch Football with is Laeticia Douglas. Today, I got a Spam with the sender name Letitia Douglas. Totally freaked me out. Well, not really, but made me notice enough to blog about it. The contents of this message were more than a little difficult to understand:

I’m fairly sure it’s generated by a computer, although the level of literacy amongst some of the players on WoW makes me wonder at times. There was a link at the end, in the last two words, but the site timed out. The attached image shows it’s an ad for some type of loan. I’m pretty fine for loans at the moment…
