This is the copy of a spam! It is warned NOT to reply or participate in any form...! It's also the last time I'll be posting any of these things - you've been warned enough, and it could be that I become a "Spammer"! If it wasn't for the facts that the story is stupid, the English has exactly the same mistakes as in the "poor little lost girl from Nigeria who's father was assasinated....etc" - one could almost think sympathetically about the poor American GI! BALLS - it's another S.P.A.M. ****************   Dear Sir,  My name is Sergent Peter Melberg. I am an American soldier with a Swiss background serving with the Army 3rd Infantry Division.  I am in desperate need of your assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you, I found your contact particulars on an address journal.

I've done a little article to interest you for the Programme "Picasa" from Google (see below). To try and give you an idea of one of the newer features, I've tried to create a VERY short film from some of my photos! Here it is.....! (Hope it works):

PICASA - from Google, and just right for you....! Devilishly good, Google have a whole range of programmes, just right for you, free of charge, reliable, all more than capable of replacing permanently those expensive things from Microsoft Windows and other suppliers. I'd like to try to introduce you to "Google Picasa" - a photo editing programme that's been around for some time, getting better and better at each new release. It started from an innocuous little programme that was called "Hello", and has just released - this last week - its latest offering "Picasa 3.5". Astounding all the things you can do with this latest programme, but obviously you have to start by downloading it! Just type in "Picasa3.5" to your search bar, and choose the entry accessing the download. Oh-all right then - I'll make it even easier for you- here's the link: Picasa 3 :  Free download  fro...

Image via Wikipedia I like this one - the ground mechanics MUST be British....! (With thanks to World Start - "google" it - a site for PC tips and programme sales -register and get the letters free of charge) ************ Airline Gripe Sheet After every flight, airplane pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour . These are claimed to be actual maintenance complaints submitted by pilots and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers. (P = The problem logged by the pilot.) (S = The solution and action taken by mechanics.) P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

FR:Voici un truc reçu ce jour dans un e-mail . Petite anecdote bien amusante - si c'est vrai, ça peut expliquer pas mal des choses sur la comportement de certains dans l'Église....! *************** En pleine procession de l'ascension, le Pape Jean VIII est soudain pris de douleurs avant de s'écrouler et de tomber de sa mule. Les fidèles l'accompagnant auraient alors découvert l'étonnante vérité: le Pape était une femme qui venait de subir des contractions. Mais ni l'enfant, ni la mère n'ont survécu à l'accouchement ou, selon les versions, à la lapidation spontanément pratiquée par les fidèles. C'est ainsi que naît la légende de la Papesse Jeanne. ...

Image via Wikipedia These two, the € and the GBP are decidedly not friends and lovers....! Here is just a little note showing their history since the beginning! 1990-01-04 - January 04, Thursday: €1.37043 EUR *************** September 2009 - on 23 Sept 09: €1.1016 EUR (over the month Sept 09): 1.13196 EUR (16 days average) *************** Sterling takes a tumble against the euro By Craig McGinty on Sep 21, 2009 in Current Affairs . BAD news for those relying on sterling income as it has hit a five month low in relation to the euro. The BBC reports that it was as low as €1.1016, a point not seen since April, but still higher than it was at the beginning of the year. The Bank of England 's quarterly report blamed the weakening of sterling on foreign investors turning their backs on UK sterling assets and the need for the UK economy to rebalance.

Image via Wikipedia Here's the Pitch Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center where he was to advise new recruits about their government benefits, especially their GI insurance . It wasn't long before Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones had almost a 100% record for insurance sales, which had never happened before. Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the back of the room and listened to Jones's sales pitch. Jones explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the new recruits, and then said: "If you have GI Insurance and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries . If you don't have GI insurance, and you go into battle and get killed, the government has to pay only a maximum of $6000." "Now," he concluded," which bunch do you think they are going to send into battle first? Image via Wikipedia
