The subject line of an email from The Arts Council: New Handmade Market In Warwickshire. I bet the tables were hard to knit.

And another: Arts Jobs: Dorset Smuggler Required. I didn’t think the cutbacks were that bad.

A Freegle request to my inbox: wanted: sports car (preferbly a bugatti veyron)
if anyone has a sports car they no longer wants i would be very grateful.
i just thought that other people ask for over the top items, i should aswell
thanks in advance
The moderator wasn’t happy with the request, having this to say:
Please do not type in CAPITALS, as this may be seen as shouting by other members.
I did think about giving them mine, but the poor grammar and spelling left me feeling they don’t deserve it. By which reasoning, I should at least own a Ford Focus.
I can’t decide if I’m more amused or appalled. I hope it was a joke but the moderators do let some greedy requests through (I’ve just split from my boyfriend and I need to furnish my house so give me everything and make it new and deliver it while you’re at it, is usually the gist).
What do you think? Was it a joke?
What is a Dorset Smuggler?

I’m thinking a smuggler who lives and/or works in Dorset. Though I’m hoping they’re looking for someone to smuggle the whole of Dorset out of Britain for a three-week holiday in the South of France.

I belong to freecycle and I got a request recently from a woman who wanted to start a “Pet Rescue Business” (is that really a business?). Anyway, she said, “I don’t have any pets to start, so if you have pets you don’t want, let me know!” LOL!

I’m glad my spam filter is off. This nice Nigerian fellow sent me a message that is going to make me $10,000,000. I knew my luck was going to change.

The best spam I’ve ever received has literally just arrived:
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great. I don’t know who you are but certainly you’re going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already Cheers!
I’ve highlighted what I feel is the most truthful part 🙂
