You should never give a name to your pets. I only ever made that mistake once. I had a cockroach and I called him Bill (after the actor in Coro.). But after we had him for Xmas dinner, or rather the rest of the family did, I wouldn't eat him, I never, ever did it again.

Hi Boo2 This was an article from an American news story I downloaded to highlight my story.I did a Google under Nigeria Scam and this was one which came up.Scams by there very nature are short lived, this type of scam has been going on since before joined banking in the early 70s and is mainly done in or by Nigerians.If you also look a Demurrage fraud 80 % of the worlds demurrage fraud happens there.When 5 years ago I was involved in Offshore Banking if you were from an African address we would not send out any correspondence or e-mails, all biz was done on the phone with three passwords to identify the individual.Also it is not just Africa If you had a Russian/Eastern european passport we would not open an account for you.
This was funny as we had a well known concert soloist who received cash for some of his work and required an account to park it,he went round Jersey and Guernsey trying to open an account to no avail

I got a version of the Nigerian scam, basically the same thing, but from China. Now knowing that all the e-mail correspondance in and out of China is monitored, I simply deleted his words, and replied "Thankyou for your contributions and support to the "FREE TIBET" campaign."

I fully expect they've tracked him down by now and the electrodes are being attached to his 'nads as we speak!
We have need of you again, great king.

Particularly hard for the cockroach, I'd have thought.
At least you didn't get eaten.............
Anyway, that's all soft Southern bollocks: when I were a lad, all we had for December 25th dinner (we couldn't afford to call it Christmas) were a lump of fossilised poo, and a couple of six-inch nails: and bloody lucky we were too. And a good thrashing with a birch-twig, if we we'd been good.
Now- think on.........and be grateful yer living under a Labour Governmint.

Todger Enlargement is easy and cheap, just rub in a rythmic manner. Works 9 times out of 10 and costs nowt (depending on who does the rubbing).
