Stay out of London

PLEASE READ THIS AND MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS. Please don't reply. This is being sent to over 2000 people in my address book. If you receive this more than once - sorry.

I cannot express how much I dislike writing this email. This was told to me by a close friend who knows the lady concerned. If it were not for the close association I would not believe it and would not pass this on. It is ONLY because of this that I have a moral responsibility to inform you. Please read this story, make your own decisions and if you forward this, mark it as urgent. Again, I am sorry to have to write to you like this.

My friends girlfriends friend was walking was walking in Hyde Park. She noticed a man of Middle Eastern appearance getting up from a seat and walking away. As he got up he dropped his wallet. She picked up the wallet and ran after him and returned it to him. The man turned and thanked her, he then said "Thank you for doing this good deed, one good deed deserves another, stay out of London on Thursday". He walked away. The girl was very scared, he was soldier like and very serious in what he said. She immediately went to the police and was eventually given photos of known terrorists to look at. She identified the man from a photo.

Thursday is tomorrow. For my part, I pray this is a big hoax. I will be very happy if it is. In any event I am taking my family to the beach for the day. Why - because what if it were true and I did nothing, and ignored it and did not tell you. That is why. I will not run from every threat, this was to close an association to ignore, for me.

PLEASE READ THIS AND FORAWRD IT TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK AND FEEL LIKE A GULLIBLE TIT WHEN WHEN YOU GET DELUGED WITH LINKS TO SOPHOS. This is being sent only to you because you were the first person I thought of when the question of finding a paranoid arse arose- sorry.

I cannot express how much I dislike writing this email. This was told to me by a close friend who knows somebody who knows the lady concerned- and actually bedded the girl from the BBC test card once.

If it were not for the very tenuous association I would not believe it and would not pass this on- honest injun! It is ONLY because of this that I have a moral responsibility to take the piss right out you. Please read this story, make your own decisions and if you forward this, mark it as 'total shite: IGNORE!'. Again, I am wracked with wretched sorrow to have to write to you like this.

My father's brother's niece was walking in Hyde Park. She noticed a man who bore a striking resemblance to Idi Amin getting up from a bean bag and bouncing away on a space hopper. As he got up he dropped his bag of oranges. She picked up the oranges and sped after him in her wheelchair and returned them to him. The man turned and thanked her, he then said "Thank you for doing this good deed, one good deed deserves another, don't ever buy oranges from Lidl, they go bad really quickly". He sashed away. The girl was pensive, she was soldier like and very serious in what he said. She immediately went to the Lidl and bought a bag of oranges and lo and behold after two days the skin was leathery hard.

Thursday is tomorrow, which is Giro day. For my part, I pray this is a big hoax as I can't afford the organic fairtrade produce at Waitrose. I will be very happy if it is. In any event I am taking my family to the beach for the day because I know skin cancer is a ruse invented by animal testers to get me to fund their sick trade.
