What's the matter with some people! Spam?

With my internet business I have a list of people who have opted in to receive information from me.

If they no longer wish to receive information there is a simple link to unsubscribe.

So no problem really.

Except at the beginning of the year I sent out a broadcast to this list.

I have now discovered that a couple of people accused me of spamming!

The irony is that the only message on the broadcast was "Happy New Year"

Hey they gave me permission to send them information and they could easily have unsubscribed.

I don't mind how many people wish me a happy new year. The more the merrier.

Anyrate the man who came yesterday to do the odd jobs for me was very good and only charged me a very small amount so I am dead chuffed.

My new website is now up and running as Techno has done a good job as well.
www.john-f-beaumont.com if you are interested.

It's still the same even if you are not interested. boom boom!

Joke for today:- A man walks into a bookshop and asks for a book by Shakespeare. "Certainly sir" replies the assistant "which one" William says the man

In 1814 London crowds visited the city's last Frost Fair help on the frozen River Thames.

In 1957 Humphrey Bogart dies and in 1977 Sir Anthony Eden also dies.

Great Weekend

Yes it was a great weekend.



On Saturday I was playing with Techno's wii games together with him and Gorgeous. Fun but just wish I could get the hang of it!



Maybe, just maybe if I can practice enough I might even win! Still as they used to say about the Olympics it's not the winning that counts but the taking part.



Yesterday I painted the new doors we have upstairs and in the afternoon went for a walk with Gorgeous, Techno and Hubble Bubble the mad dog.



We are very lucky around here as we have some beautiful countryside so walks are a definite pleasure.



It is rather strange though that not many other people take advantage of the countryside although I suppose that suits us as we have more of it to ourselves.



In the evening we watched Countryfile which is a very interesting programme where you can learn a lot of information about the countryside.



It was a liitle sad though last night as Adam, one of the presenters, is a farmer and because some of his cattle had bovine TB he is not able to use his animals fro breeding purposes and some of them had to be destroyed instead. More heartbreaking than Coronation Street or Eastenders because this is real life.



Joke for today: I tried sniffing coke once but the ice cubes got stuck in my nose.



On this day:- 10th January



In 1937 the British Government banned its nationals from joining the anti Franco forces in Spain.



In 1863 the first underground railway in London opened.
