Got yet another text from an ambulance chaser saying that I’m entitled to approximately £3750 as a result of an accident that I had recently. If that is the case I want a shed load more than that because the incident was so massive that all recollection of it has been smushed from brains. Unless the accident in question was when I dropped a rather heavy tape measure onto the screen of a 32” LCD TV, in which case I’m probably entitled to a few quid as compensation for the telling off that I got.

These ambulance chasers are worse than the young African lawyer who has repeatedly offered my 10% of $432,000,000,000 if I help him get his dead father’s saving from the evil clutches of some military dictator. At least this con man isn’t driving my insurance premiums up.

Gah. Mondays are always worse after a good weekend.

Moan moan moan moan moan…

Going to spend some money with CRC at lunch time. That'll cheer me up.

I thought this was about creepy-crawlies 🙂

It just needs de-bugging, is all.
Oddly, I never get any of these sort of things. Various types of pron, the occasional watch offer, a few warnings about the security of all my online bank accounts that I need to log into to verify my personal details; usual stuff.
But no ambulance chasing vermin. Strange.

Register with TPS to avoid marketing?

It's because you live in Simister where there is an old haunted mast amongst other eerie stuff.

I thought you were talking about actual creepy crawlies. I was going to post "you're a spider, get in there" but that's really not going to work now.

It's a thread title that promises so much, but delivers so little.

Blimey. Did we crash into each other? Must have been a hell of a shunt if both have had our memories erased.

Strange as my mobile contractors told me to register and presto no marketing calls or text.

Ahh, that accounts for it. I remember registering with TPS ages ago. Sadly pron and phishing sites pay scant attention to such things.

ha - my wife had a call yesterday from a company selling "identity theft protection"; allegedly on behalf of debenhams. They refused to give her any details until she gave them a load of details (which she didn't). How stupid do these companies think us consumers are!

I've seen tiny little insects inside camera viewfinders.

This thread is really disappointing. 🙁
