........ leaders of Berkshire County Council have had a meeting in a very expensive hotel in Henley, having requisitioned a couple of executive jets to get there, and in response to the concern of the African leaders, who have probably done the same to get to Kinshasa, and who have given up valuable decision making time on the plight of their own countries. So BCC are sending a couple of hundred sacks and some shovels and look forward to those leaders filling them as soon as possible, and returning them in the large stamped addressed envelopes attached,ASAP!

I love the bit where he says he is sharing a bit of culture with someone who probably doesn't have much experience of it. Spot on. The culprit is from Derby.

He claims to be on an 'unlimited text' plan but surely even those include a fair use cap don't they?

''He sends it as one text but his ‘victim’ can only receive them in 160 character chunks - meaning the 37 works of Shakespeare will buzz through in 29,305 individual texts.''

I'm Macky and I also approve of these messages.


Seriously though, what kind of spasticus retardicus inbred sheep would send a ****ing bank transfer in that situation? What a ****ing dope.
