I've just had an email from debenhams confirming the purchase of a bag. The guys got the same name as me but lives in Glasgow.

Wow.. I think I'm part of the doppelganger crowd!

I sent this person a text message last night explaining that I'd received their email so they might want to change their details. I was nice and polite as you'd expect... Only for them to reply at 4 in the morning with the word "scum".

Charming!

I've looked at that and it looks like the only way to cancel it is to return it when it arrives.

Good afternoon Colin,

I am pleased to report that I received your letter today regarding Sponsorship for the Art Sale. At least we now know that you have the correct address, where the previous letter vanished to is anyone’s guess.

I’ll organise a cheque and forward that on for your attention.

Kind regards,

Andy

I see from the xboxone pics that your last name is Taylor. My dad was also called Colin Taylor. What a coincidence.

I appear to be a painter/decorator type in Chippenham. I have replied to emails asking for quotes explaining how I am mighty Intergalactic buccaneer but hope that they get their hallway redone

Poor Kaiser won't get his flea treatment.

Dear Mr Cudding

Kaiser needs Flea Prevention

Our Records indicate that Kaiser is now due for flea and tick prevention. To prevent infestations occurring due to missed treatments we recommend you use flea and tick preventatives all year round. Don’t wait until your pet starts scratching, adult fleas lay up to 50 eggs per day.
Paralysis ticks are one of the biggest risks faced by Cairns pets. One bite from a paralysis tick can be fatal.
Don’t take the risk, call into one of our conveniently located clinics and pick up your prevention today.
If you have received this reminder by post can you please help us save the environment by providing us with your email address so that we can send your reminders electronically. Email us at [email protected]. Thank you.

Note our business hours:
