Early this morning (9.15 local time) I checked my email and as usual MailWasher http://www.mailwasher.net and it picked up the usual spam rubbish that my ISP had not removed.

I gave it a quick check to see if a friend's email had accidently been picked up and discovered the following religious spam. :angry:

I suppose it makes a welcome change to the usual viagra, morgage and Africian money spam and it is a Sunday.

Well, I just checked my Junk Folder, and got the following strange email:

Would bablefish.com be able to translate that?

*wonders when kall became an Asian name*

Eugh!

[kall]

I think I was...

Well, the original 'do it inside asterisks to indicate action in a text-based medium' user anyway.

I probably got it from The Honeymooners - "Pow, boom! Straight to the moon!" kind of thing.

And I thought the official languages of NZ were English (all be it slightly barstardised by the kiwis) and Maori.

If I wanted to turn this thread political then I would mention the name of an english politician that warned of racial problems from groups imigrating but not making an effort to mix with the existing culture and customs.

I think that was a Romanian domain

Did you notice that a few of the links on that page are for New Zealand web sites like television channels (TVNZ, TV2 & TV3), newspapers (Herald, Christchruch Press, Otago Daily Times), local bodies (Waitakere City Council) and all sorts of others?

My point / angle on that site is that there is currently a lot of immigration into NZ at the moment where the people choose not to even try to fit in with the customs and culture. We have pockets in the cities where if you are a native kiwi you can't easily make yourself to the dairy / corner store owner to ask where the milk is or something.
Imagine going to France and trying to drive on the left hand side of the road and only speaking english.... it would be a nightmare and cause huge problems... now imagine the French Government allowing foreigners to immigrate there and not make any attempt to fit in to the existing culture... argh

Yesterday I got some spam written by aln ESL (english as a second language) person asking me to come out and play at their site and share the delights they offered. The language was confined to single sylable, 4 letter words.

Today I got a business offer from Togo. I provide my bank account number so they can transfer money to it.

And all kinds of support items from me. "My email will go down. To prevent that download this or that patch".

So I only got sex, money and software crashes. I will swap the sex eMail for your Shaker eMail. Maybe they will make me a sidetable.



RO is a Romanian domain. I did a telephone traffic study for their government once - 2 or 3 years ago.
