Spam dunk with the Red Cross??

November 4, 2009

I try not to write about spam, partly because Kev does it so well – but obviously sick of offering me cuts of obscene fortunes if I simply email them my red hot Alcopoppin’ deets, I’ve had this glorious new piece of junkmail today – inexplicably inviting me to a Red Cross conference on the Global Economy and Human Welfare…. It’s OK though, because they found me on “The Google website.”
