    If only it were ..... its spammers trying to get active email addresses. "Wait two minutes and the answer will appear on you monitor" .... for the love of god like .... some of them are so lame. The best course of action it delete the fúcker and empty your thrash.

    What is probably the worst are the "The earthquake was sooo wrong, why did people have to die" ... sign your name and the city you are from, when it gets to 1000, send it here and then start a new one ?????? How do people respond to this i dont know.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Why people just dont delete em, I'll never know. I get them every day from the same people who are still broke, still single and dont have jobs!

    Its just a vicious circle, if I send it back to them, does it mean they must send it again, for fear of dying in 5 days or maybe the love of their lives will appear in 2 hours?

    Crazy the lot of them
