Gandalph Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Not that one again!. I have lost count of how many variations of the same e-mail has been floating around over the past couple of years. There's nothing wrong with haveing a go I suppose. I didn't see the Pigs going over this morning but we had a herd of Elephants flew past last week. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I didn't see the pigs fly over either - because it was too foggy here in Solihull this morning.I heard them chirping though and there was one hell of a dollop on my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 But Bernard Madoff carried out an almost identical scam with personal approaches to supposedly intelligent & wealthy investors (instead of emails) and got them to give him $50bn!!
