Dealing on furniture, plastic.

In the absence of inspiring blogs from Mouse who was meant to hide the fact that I have become even more slack of late, I have decided to plagiarise an email that came through my inbox this morning.

It read as follows:

"Wow!" I said.

"All my life I have dreamt of becoming a medium ofgetting to costumers in the Canada/America and Europe, but especially for being a money laundering/subsidy service for a dodgy company with a polish email address that purports to be Chinese. How is it possible that all my dreams could have been answered at once?!"

So I clicked through to their VERY impressive website, www.cmiec.com, complete with scrolling pictures of business people, a computer generated building and Chinese language dead links. Sinosteel Trading Company was truly a partner to aspire to!

If anyone else is interested in joining me to do this exciting business venture ofgetting to costumers, simply send me your bank account details, eftpos card, PIN number and home address...oh, and your passport would be handy too :-)

N.B In the spirit of plagiarism I also have to acknowledge the inspiration of Max the uber-time-waster who amused himself by doing this late last year. The saga continued for some weeks and some blog entries - you can seach on fighting talk to see the whole deal if you're really keen.

Back to thesis procrastination.
