Having a late start this morning gave me some
time to fiddle about before work. Amongst my morning haul of emails was the
news that I was being followed on Twitter. I have several followers on Twitter
– I don’t know why as I rarely (if ever)
tweet. Most followers I pick up these days seem to be porn-mongers. I did
wonder if it was possible to remove them from my followers list – I thought
that anyone who looks at my followers is probably going to get entirely the
wrong idea about me. But when I looked at the list, I only see the
non-porn-mongers. I wonder what’s going on there. (Not that I’m complaining)
The phone rang this morning. Someone who’s
spoken English was rather poor immediately demanded that I turned on my
computer and told him all the remote access passwords. Apparently my PC had a
virus and had targeted his laptops. If this bloke could have access to my PC he
could solve the problem. I asked him if he honestly thought that I would hand
over access to any random stranger who phoned me. He said that most people did;
which rather showed that he made a habit of this scam, and I hung up. I can’t
help but feel that if this was a genuine call he would have phoned me back.
A couple of days ago I mentioned about my
house contents and buildings insurance. Today I had a look on Go Compare – and
managed to get a much cheaper quote. Had the building society not cancelled the
policy without telling me I could have got it even cheaper. But such is life.
I suspect that everyone will now tell me that
they could recommend a cheaper insurer. To those people I would say “please don’t”.
Meanwhile our friend the mad axe murderer has
got a new car. I say “got a new car” –
the new car was today’s offering from the advent calendar, and he’s taken it. After
all, who’s going to argue with an axe murderer?
