Bizarrospam is back! Hurrah!

It would appear that spammers are becoming ever more creative with their 'offerings'. Another small selection of subject lines (and my immediate thoughts upon them) for your delight. Or something.

Recalling her features drove the monsters from my mind. - Your therapist appears to be doing you the world of good.

What is that ghostly face looking out balefully after him from behind the arras. - My mind, it is the boggled. And leave my arras out of it.

Protect your manhood! - Pink shirts are the devil's work.

Why don't you buy some drugs to be healthy? - I have all the viagra I'll ever need thanks - hotmail is sorting that one for me.

I just started having sex and my boyfriend keeps popping out when we do it. - I have no words. None. Other than to perhaps suggest that you tie him to the bed.

Beware of fake pills. - Sage advice. Thank you.

Can you let me know what you think about this, I would be very interested in what you think. communication as well. we have slang gestures. - I've got a couple of slang gestures of my own that I think you might like.

Marvellous stuff.

Birthday fun

'Twas my 38th birthday on Friday, and a better day I have not had in a long time. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Which, I believe, is fairly customary.

I had the day off from work, which is always a good thing. We also had a visit from the insurance people about the bathroom ceiling. The man was in the house barely 10 minutes. After six ruddy months of waiting and he's there less than 10 minutes. That's what I call value for money. Pfft. Still, he decided that he was going to release the money for the repairs, so hopefully I'll have a bathroom ceiling before the end of the year. Hurrah!

I also spent most of the afternoon and evening drinking lots and having fun on a boat on the Thames. I was thrilled to bits with the number of people who were able to make it, people I hadn't seen for absolutely ages. That's mainly down to self-imposed exile and sheer immobility for two months of the year, but it was lovely to see them all again.

And I got lots of lovely presents and cards - all very much gratefully received. Among the gifts were a large cuddly Godzilla (to go with my little cuddly Godzilla - Big G and Little G), the original Godzilla film on DVD, a Samuel Z Arkoff box set (B-Movie heaven!), Man From UNCLE box set, Trumpton DVD, Mr Benn DVD, books, a mug, smellies, stationery and a beautiful compact mirror. I think I did rather well for myself there.

I also hope that this marks a turning point. I received the forms for my counselling yesterday too - so I'll be filling them out and sending straight away. This year hasn't had the greatest of starts, but here's to a much improved second half of it!
