Lovely Russian Ladies

Humulity prevents me from agreeing but I must be one hell of a popular guy. Why? Well because every time I open my email program there are women from Russian and other parts of the world wanting to marry me – and they all promise to be the best wife ever!!

Now others must have got to know about all these lovely ladies wanting to marry me and they seem worried that – now how shall I put this – that I’m not up to the job and well they’re kindly offering to supply me with a little blue tablet, at a greatly reduced cost, and that the assure me will help me out if I’m having difficulties, now I don’t have to spell the difficulties out. Do I? Maybe they know of course that I’ve recently got my bus pass and need a little help. Computers, they seem to know everything about us.


Yes I am convinced that others know how all those lovely Russian ladies are absolutely mad about me and want me to look my best when I tie the knot for they are offering me all kinds of lovely things: watches are a popular offer, again at greatly reduced prices. Still others are worried that I might not have a strong enough bank balance and promise to offer me the secret of making thousands of pounds every week on the net for just $47 – most kind of them. I didn’t think that Russian women were that hard to keep.

Anyway to get to the point I don’t really want to hurt these peoples feelings by writing back to them all and telling them that I’m quite happy the way I am, nor to be honest have I the time so I’ve been trying to teach my mail program ‘Thunderbird’ to ignore these messages. You know what I mean you get a message and make it as ‘Junk’ and hope that somehow the mail program will deal with the problem but these people just seem to insist that they help me – even though I don’t want it, and Thunderbird seems a little slow on the uptake!


To cut a long story short I downloaded the free version of 0Spam and it’s doing a good job of dealing with junk from my main mail box but I have several other addresses and I’m wondering if it would be of any help if I bought a subscription to this or some other anti-spam software.

Now I know I’ll be causing offence to some of these nice people who after all are only trying to make my life better, but to be honest they are a pain in the you-know-where and I’d be grateful for any advice on how to get rid of them.

    You only need to worry if she buys them...

    I rarely see spam in gmail as the filter seems to be spot on

    I remember about 4 years ago when a mate of mine kept getting emails off this 'russian babe'
    To be fair it was really well done, every email was different and specific to my mate. Kept sending all these lovely photos of herself and how she was doing at college etc
