Hmmm ... I'm recieving at least one of these "alert" mails from the "Windows Live Team" every week.

They are starting to clean up their act - in the first one they had actually spelled "Windows" as "Wnidows"

They seem to have some problems setting up new hotmail accounts though - the last one (below) was actually sent from a gmail account (!)

Bet you can't give an exact date for the RN? But you can RN's submarines. (Isn't that when you bought the 1st "Holland boat"?)



The Royal Navy became "The Royal Navy" on the coronation day of Charles II, so I guess that's it's official birthday.

The RN still doesn't swaer an oath of allegience to the crown (or anyone else for that matter), it's the only one of the 3 UK services that doesn't.

Holland 1 was launched in 1901.

Reflection - you know THE THREAD has been quiet when you get back to back "good night" and "good morning" posts.

Pah! It takes more than a puny Dutch torpedo to sink one of my CVLs. The CVE isn't looking too clever though...

Some of the attempts are more clever and less obvious than this. Its more about catching the person unaware and having them act before their brains catch up with them than out and out lack of intelligence. Its probably considered easier to do now given how connected online our lives have become. Ironically.......there's alot of suspicison and resistance to doing sensitive transactions using PDA's still. Guess its easier to imagine someone intercepting your signals.
