Fraud in the name off the BBC
andyf:
If you had responded, I'm sure it wouldn't have been long before the "BBC" asked for bank details (just to be sure the money didn't get misplaced) and some form of ID (just to be sure they were dealing with the right person).
Last week, my delight at learning of huge winnings in a Spanish lottery was tempered by the realisation that I've never bought a lottery ticket outside the UK, and that my last visit to Spain was seven years ago...

I think your missing out on all the fun. Heck I have more money than I can ever hope to spend. Pretty young girls to help me spend it and give me more. Several lifetime supplies of Viagra and any other meds that I may need. Every day there are more offers pouring in but I am running out of places to store the money. On top of that it is time consuming having to continuously run down to the freight company to haul some more large trunks full of cash home. I think my neighbours are starting to get jealous. What do you think I should do? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Cheers :beer:

If it were me, I'd buy milling cutters ...
The lad in his shed can never have too many milling cutters IMHO
Possibly monogrammed ...
Platinum inlaid ...
Tastefully housed in one of those posh Morocan leather cases with the purple velvet lining ...
Just like mine, in fact .. ::)
