    I took the time to read your post, Jip, as I was bored.

    I know you'll have realised already, but it's a scam. My wee auntie was caught up in something similar, but it involved her being sent forged travellers cheques, cashing them and sending the money through this Western Union thing. She refused to send the money via it, realising it might be a scam, so instead, she did cash the cheques and sent the money via Royal Mail Special Delivery, so it could be tracked. It was never picked up. When she told me about it, I told her to get the cops involved and she did. They got the money back and returned it to the post office. She was told to not be so gullible <laugh>
    The moral of the story is, if something seems too good to be true, it's a scam. Also, anything that mentions Western Union is to be body swerved.
    <ok>

    As soon as Western Union was mentioned I cottoned on. I thought his 2nd email was funny though, when he told me he was "totally disappointed" with my attitude. Not just partially disappointed, totally.

    The guy actually phoned my auntie at one point. He was African, said he was French. She spoke French to him on the phone and he hung up coz he didn't understand <laugh>
    Stuff like this is rife on Gumtree too. That's where she answered an ad for a housekeeper. <doh>

    Not mugs. Perhaps too trusting? That's the category my auntie falls into anyway.

    I bet that AfricanGer had a finger in one of those pies too, the ****.

    He's suggesting that you're diddling him, he has proof of a paypal transaction and wants you to send the money back to him via that union thing.

    I think.

    Just tell him to get ****ed.

    I say TEA, motherfucker. Never touch that awful word 'dinner'. Breakfast, lunch, tea and then supper if necessary. That's normal practice in West Yorkshire. :emoticon-0133-wait:

    Well I imagine you to look like Frank Gallagher from your WRT avatar days.

    Grenville Hair :emoticon-0115-inlov

    I also have dark brown, wavy hair. :emoticon-0104-surpr

    You were right about the sexual tension. I can hear myself oozing pre-mustard from here.

    When it comes to older people you can let them off, as they didn't grow up with a world full of ****s.
    Younger people tho deserve a slap.

    I know you want me Loiner. Does your hair get curlier as it grows, or maintain a steady state of waviness?

    If I cut it short, it would be pretty much straight. But as it gets longer, it gets more wavy.

    What's your facial hair status? <Loinershornythoughts>

    Hmm. OK.

    Facial hair status:

    Gerard Butler-esque length, that reddish tinge that Tina likes is coming back and it's pretty much ready to be trimmed.

    What about me? On here, I'm believed to be a 30-something year-old-man, though in reality I am 20-years-old with a father younger than ER.

    It's nice thank you, but it tastes like AIDS, famine and civil unrest.
