Sorry, but these annoy the hell out of me. They're like electronic versions of chain letters.

Latest one reads:
Beca wrote (Don't erase, ok?) Dear God, the woman reading this is kind and I'm proud of her. Pls help her to live life to the fullest and bless her in her chosen field. Help her shine in the darkest places and let love flow in her path. Pls protect her at all times and lift her up when she needs you the most. Now you're on the clock. In 9 minutes something will make you happy. Pls share this prayer to 9 women you love. TAKE NOTE! 9 women xxx

Do people honestly believe this guff?! And if not, why the hell waste 9 text messages forwarding it?

Oh and this is from someone who's not religious and who I previously thought quite intelligent.

If its one you have to reply to , I just reply to the friend who sent it.Otherwise I delete it

Delete delete delete.

I never get them anymore as I got so cross with the senders.

Now it's on FB too - such drivel as this - 'WHATEVER you give a WOMAN, she will MAKE it GREATER. Give her SPERM, she will give you a BABY. Give her a HOUSE, she will give you a HOME. Give her GROCERIES, she will give you a MEAL. Give her LOVE and she will give you her HEART! She MULTIPLIES and ENLARGES what she is GIVEN. So, if you GIVE her CRAP, be PREPARED to RECEIVE a TON OF SHIT! I hope to see every girl on my friends list re-post this'

Feck off you moron!

Oh gods, my mum sends me the warning ones. Phones plugged in to charge shouldnt be used in storms because someone in Grannyfecker, Idaho allegedly got electrocuted. Evildoers putting a car seat by the side of quiet roads to stop lone female drivers (I don't drive, there are no quiet country roads within 20 miles of us even if I did). Drives me batshit.
