I thought she was barred now? How long does it take?

Suze, we were carpet-bombed with requests for assistance from Moscow a la Private Eye "please send all your cash to this feckless box number".

hellfire
you know those things must work or they wouldn't bother doing them

I was once asked by the ex treasurer of Nigeria to help him open a security deposit box containing millions of dollars, he had captured my address from the interweb, apparently

Only once, sooz?

Dhgot a fantastic email where the boot is on the other foot; people wrote back to these wrongly deposed despots agreeing to help but needing proof that they were genuine, and asking them to send a picture holding the day's paper and a fish on their head just to provide good faith... can't find it but it was very very amusing

I used to keep a file of all the begging letters I received. they were marvellous - very entertaining.

The Nigerian strongbox/funds transfer thing is so continuous and widespread that apparently it has led to workplace discrimination against accountancy professionals of Nigerian origin - people not shortlisting them etc

I heard something on the radio yesterday about Nigerians aged 18-30 being refused visas to come to the UK? Didn't catch any details though.

really? that's a bit of a backfire

when are coming to visit your mates in Perth Marina?

I think that is more to do with queues out the door at the British Embassy in Lagos, but still feel concerned about it...

It would be interesting to see stats for the same age group from other countries.

I will be visiting them when they move to short-hop Red-backless Den Haag later this year Suzy. [Blush] I am such a chicken re long-haul and BIG insects.

what they are going back to Europe? What bailers
Well my mum is an arachnophobe and she's been here 10 days and hasn't come across a single one

They don't have much say, really - it's all work related. Did they have to drug and truss your mum to get her on the plane?

no not at all she goes all over the place, my dad was very nervous working up to it but he loved it in the end

I was going to say thread hijack over but it's not really one of those threads is it?
