    So, I just received an email saying that I won GBP 485,000 in a lottery I never entered.

    Don't they ever give up? :nolike: :rolleyes:

    Monty, what's your date of birth, full name, current address, banking info, and whatever-your-country's-number-ID-system-is-called number? I'll check the worldwide lottery database for you.

    I hate to break it to you, Monty, but lotteries don't even exist. I can't believe Santa and the fairy didn't tell you!

    Just remember Monty, they will never give up because there is always a fool to find in a crowd. As long as there are naive people there will always be a market.

    The lottery here in the states is over $400,000,000 -- I think I'd be fine with that....

    Don't know about that T2, I hear 400 million isn't what it used to be any more.

    Why do people sometimes put links on web pages that lead to the exact same page you're already on? For the joy of waiting a few seconds while the page refreshes, only to discover you haven't gone anywhere but you've lost a few seconds of your life running in a circle? :confused:

    Same page links are usually supposed to go to an anchor on the page somewhere... sometimes the content gets rewritten and the anchor code gets removed, other times the anchors just aren't done properly and the links don't actually jump to the anchor points.

    I've been cleaning and accomplished a fair amount so now I think I earned some pinball time before bed.

    Congrats, Ofey! Whoever is playing you, is doing a great job, I guess. :D Got anything today to go with that cigar?

    Was your score as high as the amount of dollars in the lottery? Or is "pinball" a euphemism? :p

    Thanks :p I ended up not doing that much today, being a Thursday and all. I'll go out with my friends tomorrow, plus Elysium Premieres woot. I did went to a restaurant with my aunt though, the salmon was great. Ahh, stupid fish, you thought swimming in water far away from land would protect you from humans, didn't you ?! .

    Lol Mon, actually I rock at Zen Pinball 2. I let myself play it for a treat when I want a break from doing things I should be doing.

    If I could make a list of some of my finely honed skills that I have that will get me nowhere in life, Pinball would be at the top of it. The last time I played multi-player online I got a bunch of friend requests telling me I'm good and the cool thing is my PS profile is totally male in appearance so they were interested solely in my ability to play the game :p.

    Been very slow, I'll have to double post in RBP. Weather here is uncomfortably hot. I've decided to bake cookies. The first third of the batch I decided to put red hot pepper flakes inside. My youngest tried them and says they are very good.

    That seems rather odd. If it's uncomfortably hot, why heat the house more by baking cookies? :)

    Bought a bundle of Japanese action movies.

    I hope they do not run out of blood and schoolgirls.
