That wasn't fun, it's Christmas week and I want a website where you can shoot sticky elves up a tree, shoot turkeys or guide gyroscopes through a 3d world... not this!

I don't think I've ever clicked through on an email to a secure service.

Folk are idiots.

No, but it gives people an opportunity for people to follow up with things that will keep me entertained on my last late shift before Christmas... other than those already mentioned - obviously, I already have them!

I'm pretty mortified at the facebook "we lost all your settings" email a few months back. Talk about unnecessary and confusing for the foolish ones!

Yes, that's why I was mortified that facebook would be so daft as to send out something that looked so phishy.

And don't you roll your eyes at me, young man!

I was actually rolling my eyes at myself for thinking that they were real - there was actually no sarcasm intended! :lol:

Huzzah! It just looked as though it was there to say "you daft prick". YAY that it's my mistake and that I won't have to vanquish you.
