That looks exactly like the legitimate one I’ve got. I suspect your email address is similar to whoever is due their vaccine - you had to read them over the phone so easily done. 

I’ve found the other me who the email was supposed to go to and she’s now got her confirmation

Presumably the intended Josie Kelly will turn up anyway - the appointments are given out over the phone - she just won't have had confirmation by email.

That’s reassuring, thank you. 

This is the vaccination email that came through to me. Looks legit but can’t be. 
 

Anyone had a false / spam vaccination email?

I’ve had a pretty valid looking one from 111@gov.im ‘confirming’ 2 vaccination dates in jan and feb. There’s only one typo in it and it uses my name rather than ‘dear patient’ so it seems mainly kosher except that:

I haven’t lived in the Island for 20 years now and am not elderly or a health care worker or any vulnerable group  

There are no links to click on or anything dodgy. It tells me to ring 111 if I can’t make the dates

Very odd type of spam unless they’re trying to overwhelm the 111 number 😕

Oo, I wonder if the Cullen skink is still on the menu?

Apologies if this has been posted before (definitely NSFW):

Ha ha, I've been away so long I've forgotten how to use the internet. That last link obviously wasn't youtube.

And it's surpassed in awesomeness by this (again sorry if posted beofre blah blah).

This literally made me cry with laughter while I was in the departures lounge at Ronaldsway today.

Damn you autocorrect!

I can when it's so awesome

awesomeness (apologies if it's been posted before):-

Zombieland - absolute class.

Ditto.

Blindness on Sky - surprisingly good.

Lars and the Real Girl - brilliantly funny, and kinda heartwarming. Ahhh. Highly recommended.

Seconded. Don't let the premise put you off.

hmm, interesting. especially as it's often hard to tell what gender a poster is. It could be done like 'Blind Date' where 3 posters are nominated and the pickee asks them questions to which they have to reply with mildly innuendo laced remarks. Then they could go off into the 'live chat' area for a few minutes - akin to the 'cupboard' game from a long gone youth and then they could report back and say why they didn't really like each other.

dont all rush to assure me im not fugly you bastards.

But you might be fugly. Your avatar definitely is. And by the way, your tail is on fire.

Aren't they splitting the last book into two films?

 

Bare in mind here i'm not a massive potter fan, just caught the last two films. Is this one half of the last book?

oh I dunno actually, maybe they will. Can't see how though - the last book is mostly just them sitting around in a wood as far as I remember.

this new one has definately got me set up for the last 2.

Do you know something the rest of us don't?

Don't know where you got that quote from. I see no such post...

The Happening. Avoid if you know what's good for you. The only bad thing about Boogie Nights is that it gave Marky Mark the impression that he could act. He can't. And neither can anyone else in this piece of shit.

Oh dear -next time I'll add a smiley and a wink so you get it...

 

:( I missed the funny joke?

No you just took it way too seriously. I actually have zero knowledge of Norwich, except through Alan Partridge.

And you've chosen to live in Norwich??

 

Yeah, and it's surprisingly nice. Not sure what that's got to do with anything though, since I was bitching about the idea of screwing up the Island with a massive great theme park, and not actually criticising the Island itself.

Oh dear -next time I'll add a smiley and a wink so you get it...

Bitch, bitch

And you've chosen to live in Norwich??

Watched Benjamin Button and Anvil@The Sotry of Anvil over the weekend.

Button was okay but I spent most of the film trying to work out what was special effects and what was make up, which suggests that maybe I wasn't completely engrossed by the storyline.

Anvil was good - it's so hard in this post spinal tap world to believe that something like this is real. I really felt for Lips' wife towards the end - she's obviously sacrificed so much of her own desires in the name of his quest for rock superstardom.

Death slide.

Nope, that'd be way too hot. I'm training for the Dublin marathon at the end of October, when it'll be nice and chilly like today.
