If there’s one type of person that I really dislike it’s the predator who waits to prey on innocent victims. I particularly dislike the anonymous internet scum that hide behind the barriers of cyberspace. I am going to show you the kind of thing that I mean. My Mum has recently died and I might have been a victim of the following example. Had I not been alert I might have replied as the circumstances would have fitted the sender´s purpose. Here is what I have received…

Obviously, it is just a shot in the dark as far as the sender is concerned. He or she just wants me to click on the links and I would be another fish in the net. I bring this to your attention to alert everyone to the scum that exists on the internet and we all have to be alert to these dangers.
For anyone who maybe is a new user to the internet PLEASE never click on the links. This is what is called phishing. The sender is looking for unsuspecting victims so please always be alert. This is just one example. Whatever you do, if you don´t know the sender then please don´t click on anything.

Places to visit in Spain….
Roman Aqueduct in Segovia
This magnificent aqueduct was constructed without mortar and dates
back to 1AD, it is the best preserved Roman monument in Spain.
Segovia is an easy day trip from Madrid though an overnight stay is
preferable. Non-vegetarians will love the local restaurants which
specialise in roast suckling pig and roast lamb dishes. Try to fit
in a visit to El Escorial if heading out this way from Madrid.

The differing landscapes of nature and animals at the Terra Natura animal park in Benidorm, became the set of the movie Di Di Hollywood last Friday, a new film project directed by director Bigas Luna.
Actress Elsa Pataky starred in many film scenes that were filmed in the area of the volcano and at the Asia area of the park.
The Spanish actress, dressed in a Hindu shari, recorded with two different scenes with Asian elephants in the location.
During the day of filming, Elsa Pataky showed his interest in animals of the park and took the opportunity to meet with some of them, including owls, falcons and griffon vultures.
The film’s producers stressed the quality of outdoor scenes and landscapes within the recreation facilities of Terra Natura, which where they finally managed to shoot the scenes of the film, after being postponed twice due to rain.

My good friend Rockin Dave Taylor sent me the following. I have to say it is utterly gob-smacking if you follow the steps. I just wonder how the information came to light and who worked everything out….
Some curious facts:
1) New York City has 11 letters
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.
This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:
1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5= 11
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1= 11
6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9+ 1 + 1 = 11
Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254.
2+ 5 + 4 = 11.
2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4=11.
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.
Now this is where things get totally eerie:
“For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace.”
That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.
Unconvinced about all of this Still ..?! Try this and see how you feel
afterwards:
Open Microsoft Word and do the following:
1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane
to hit one of the Twin Towers.
2. Highlight the Q33 NY.
3. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS
What do you think now?!!

Giving Up Wine
I was walking down the street when I met a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner..
I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, ‘If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it?
‘No, I had to stop drinking years ago’, the homeless woman told me.
‘Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food.
‘No, I don’t waste time shopping,’ the homeless woman said.
‘I need to spend all my time trying to stay ! alive.’
‘Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?’ I asked.
‘Are you NUTS!’ replied the homeless woman.
I haven’t had my hair done in 20 years!’
‘Well, I said, ‘I’m not going to give you the money.
Instead, I’m going to take you out for dinner
with my husband and me tonight.’
The homeless Woman was shocked.
‘Won’t your husband be furious with you for doing that?
I know I’m dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.’
‘That’s okay. It’s important for him to see what a woman
looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.’!
