Great Deals from Falcon Travel and Silverarm Solutions? Who Knows!
Normally I get a bit irate at spamming bastards from hell, but this one made me laugh. In my INBOX from Silverarm Solutions on behalf of Falcon Travel:
So not only are you niaive enough to think that spamming me will work, you are actually stupid enough to think I’ll click through to read more spam!?
Now I send email campaigns out and when I do I send them from my own domain. I don’t hide behind a .info domain in case someone blacklists me. However I am a tad more responsible than these stupid fuckers, so perhaps I shouldn’t comment.
By the way, check out what Silverarm Solutions are charging Falcon Travel for this “service”!!!
To Falcon Travel: If you would like to put a comment on this post and let us know what great deals you actually have we will give you the advertising for free. Just please don’t give my email address away to snake oil merchants!

Recession turns Limerick village into Father Ted set
The Holy Stump of Rathkeale discovered!
The Holy Stump of Rathkeale
Straight out of a Father Ted script, people in Rathkeale, Co. Limerick are now worshiping a tree stump.
According to a local interviewed on ‘Morning Ireland’ this morning, over 400 people spent up to 2am praying at the stump, which, according to local shopkeeper Séamus Hogan:
“shows a clear outline of Our Lady”.
He goes on to say
“…it’s bringing people together from young and old to black and white, Protestant and Catholic, to say a few prayers…”
Worshiping tree stumps…? Protestants praying at an apparition of the virgin Mary…? (Have I missed something or has Mary snuck into the Church of Ireland?)
Brian Cowan must be pretty pleased – this will at least distract people from the utter bollix his party has made of the country (at least in Rathkeale). They must be pissing themselves Europe!

- Contact Séamus Hogan, 20 St. Mary’s Park, Rathkeale, Co. Limerick to sign the petition to save the Holy Stump of Rathkeale (over 2,000 signatures as off this morning!)
