Virus...

A nasty virus that is untreatable even by
the most advanced software from Norton or McAfee and seems to strike people born before 1970.

Symptoms include the following:

It causes you to send the same e-mail twice.

It causes you to send a blank e-mail.

It causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person.

It causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you.

It causes you to forget to attach the attachment.

It causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished.

It causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND".

It causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE".

It's called the C-Nile virus.

And I think I may be catching it... ;-)

VIRUS ALERT

Code Name: "work."

If you receive "work" from your colleagues, your boss, via e-mail or any one else, do not ouch "work" under any circumstances.

This virus wipes out your private life completely.

If you should happen to come in contact with this virus follow these steps:

1. Put on your jacket and take two good friends and go straight to the nearest bar.
2. Order three drinks & after repeating 14 times, you will find that "work" has been completely deleted from your brain.
3. Forward this virus warning immediately to at least 5 friends.

Should you realize that you do not have 5 friends, this means that you are already infected by this virus and "work" already controls your whole life.

Yes, it must take you Australians a looonnnggg time to learn your language and I bet it's hard to pronounce words like "slerriuqs" but now that I understood what it means, I like it!

Hmm well in my case I learned to speak at 17 and to write at 24. Folks thought me to be a quick learner.
I did have a fun childhood though; after all a few signalling grunts, growls, shrieks and cooos do rather well for the primates and they survive quite happily.
urg oooh eerrgh
