RE: Your Blatant Phishing Scam (Part 2)
I thought I'd let you see how I was getting on in hassling the spammers offering me false job prospects. Here's where we stand, as of today.
Re: Your Blatant Phishing Scam
Back in my job hunting days, I uploaded my CV to a number of job hunting sites. Bit silly really, because now I get a lot of spam promising me £50k a year for four minutes’ work per week. These people will try anything to catch a sucker. As such, I’ve decided to see just […]

For a blog a few months back, I scrawled 'YAY FOR LIBERALS!' in an old A4 exercise book. Recently I found that there is an imprint of this scribble which fades away over a successive number of pages.
WOOOO 3D!!1!1
Because I’m still having no luck on the job front, I decided that I should really spruce up my CV. I pondered on what would make employers sit up and take notice before coming to the conclusion that I should make a 3D CV. After all, that 3D thing’s what every sod and their dog […]
