Dear Person Who Has Bought Something From Spam,
I'm writing to you today because I have a question. What were you thinking when you filled out that spammer's form for a homeowner loan?
No, seriously. Were you thinking about your debt? Well nice work Einstein, now you owe Hong Kong $769M.
They say technology is a great leveller, and it's certainly helped you out. But in 1859, they figured out why people like you have such bad luck, and they called it evolution. Survival of the fittest. The reason you can't get a girlfriend is not ...

This morning a letter arrived from the Cornwall NHS trust, containing details of my upcoming appointment to sort out my nose. It is on the 1st of February, which is nice. But it's in Redruth.

Also noticed I didn't have any countdowns going over on the left, so have added one to remind me how hard I need to work, and another about my tax return. These tax things are fun, eh? I've finished ...

It is only now I realise that I haven't told you all about Leela's car.
Monday morning started normally enough - got up, had breakfast, Leela left, I started work. Ok, I started reading the morning webcomics, but I was going to start work right after, honest. Only Leela came back in while I was in the middle of User Friendly.
She knew when she set off that something wasn't right with her car, and gave up at the end of the road. We could see the problem - there was a very big screw in the top of ...
