                Ok, I'm disappointed now. I was imagining some Nigerian in an internet cafe grinning stupidly when he sent the email.

                        Well bah humbug.
                        Here I was thinking that it'd come from Leicester. Something to do with those ever-increasing Tigers' season-ticket prices ...

                        But I'd still seriously love to hear more about this bridge opportunity of yours Lance!

                          Just for one ticket, but I only played once. I decided to quit while I was ahead.

                            Ironically when I clicked Agathon's hoax link a pop-up appeared for me to win an iPod. It's my lucky day too!

                              I used to scorn lotteries. Opium of the people I used to say. They throw a bone on the exploited, poor, struggling hopeless people that make up the masses to give them an illusion, a shine of light and hope out of their misery. So status quo can be perpetuated. Now I do play also a little.
