tiegħu jivvjaġġaw miegħu fil-ħin , iżda Alla jaf il-verità . Ommi mietet meta kelli biss 11 sena u missier tiegħi ħa me hekk speċjali . Cry Disa qabel ma miet f’Settembru 2008 , qal segretarju tiegħu , li kien miegħu fl-isptar, u magħmula $ 5,500,000 ( 5,500,000 $ ) fil-bank, u jmorru għal belt reali magħluqa Abidjan , Ivory Coast . And on and on it went. Although they call these chain-letters Nigerian, they do not necessarily emanate from that country. This particular one had the hotmail.it in the address. Needless to say, one has to be so careful with these letters. The pity of it all is that some people still fall for these schemes. Do not, for your sakes, take them seriously.
Concerning the non delivery of The Voice
The crazy world we live in
Last week for some reason some bigpond subscribers failed to get The Voice, or if they did, they couldn’t open it. I do not exactly know why but maybe it had something to do with the laying of the NBN cables that are going on in earnest around the country. That stuff cannot come soon enough. We did our best to resend it to everyone that holds a bigpond account and the second time it seemed to have worked a cinch. It gives me a reason to appeal to our other subscribers who, like us, hold an Optus account. Optus, like some other carriers, limit their incoming mail to a 10megs tops, and many a time I have to remove a subscriber from the mail out as the person’s mailbag had reached its quota and I have remove the email from the batch as it wouldn’t proceed. So please all you Optus customers, do clean your webmail (not just your incoming mail) regularly. It will save a lot of hassles every Tuesday for us.
What a crazy world we live in. A Spanish young guy in his mid-twenties posted a message on facebook and twitter bemoaning the fact that with his three degrees – gained with distinction – he could only find work as a cleaner in a London coffee house chain. Nothing in his own country. Yet last month Spanish football giants, Real Madrid, paid a record transfer fee of some $A150million for Welsh wizard Gareth Bale from London club Tottenham Hotspurs. These last few years, other European Union members, Malta included, had to fork out some of their hard earned cash to help right Spain’s, and other bad debtors, economy.

A new twist to an old tale They truly do try everything to lighten you of your dough. The so-called Nigerian Chain Letter, where it asks for your bank details so they can deposit their ‘filthy lucre’ into your bank account has found a new twist. Their latest ploy is that instead of just using bad English they now learn what is the person’s ethnic origin and try the language he or she understands. Or they might understand. It is not just bad Maltese; it is broken Maltese with a bulldozer. I give you an example of what I received in the mail this week: jgħin fit-trasferiment wirt tard tiegħi fil-kont bankarju tiegħek bonjour am speaking kemm bl-Ingliż u bil-Franċiż Jisimni Miss roseline sarah mpele I am biss bint ġenituri tard tiegħi Mr.and Mrs David mpele rispettabbli missier negozjant ( ħanut ċikkulata ) li jaħdmu fil-kapital ta Ivory Coast -ġurnata : Huwa imdejjaq jiġifieri , miet f’ċirkostanzi misterjuża fil Franza matul vjaġġ għal negozji barranin 9 Settembru tagħhom , 2008.
