Oh yeah baby! Bon Jovi are playing live at the Punchestown Racecourse on Saturday 7th June, 2008! I can’t wait! I’m so going there! Thank you MCD for spamming me! Bloody idiots. Anyway, why spend an outrageous €76.50 when I can sit here cocooned in my nice little office away from those horrid fans and [...]

On August 23rd he sent a formal complaint to the Data [...]

It’s updated every few minutes so you can see a snippet of the spam that’s being deleted automatically here by Kitten’s Spaminator and diligent updating of keywords. Go wild! I need to think about this a bit more. WPMU supports multiple blogs, run by multiple [...]
