fluffy, following reports of spontaneous combustion, please return all the chocolate in your possession to my Nigerian PO Box address. A refund will be sent by return mail.

well yogi has a point. if someone has been given advice 10 times, i would be concerned about their health !

nah, just the chocolate, especially the Belgian stuff as that is said to be the most volatile. Especially the flaky truffles.

I think a lot of elderly people get overwhelmed by anything remotely technical and just forget about basic common sense. if they got a letter through the post asking for bank or credit card details they wouldn't respond but when exactly the same request comes via email for some reason they do respond.

My father is by no means stupid or losing his mind but he got caught by a scam email saying it was from AOL asking for his credit card details (Despite there being a flaming great big warning in the title bar of the email stating AOL will never ask for your credit card details by email)

slight problem with that, i gave all the belgian stuff to chuckie, he turned up saying he had to check my mainframe and that i needed to give him murphy and all the chocolate in the house
