This is the first spam e-mail I've ever had from my geek-web e-mail account
so its quite strange, unless they decided to switch off spam assassin. Also
wasn¹t there a TV documentary about it a couple of years ago on the good ole
BBC lol. 
Besides I'm not that dumb and I've just got a 10% raise with my new
contract. With the added role of supporting some V nice A/V equipment.
