The rants and ravings of Dianne Andrews, a grumpy old woman, and my thoughts and feelings on things that annoy, anger, amuse or bemuse me.

St Kilda "schoolgirl"
Oh dear, we must have gone a whole day without Kimmie getting her media fix. To shift the attention back on to her she has pretended to apologise to the players in nude photos - yeah sure, you really sound gutted by your actions. Anyway, for now Kim its back to me me me!!! just as you like it.

Nigerian email scams
Seems this one never goes away. We have a good laugh about them but the fact that they are still doing the rounds must mean people are still falling for this con. Unbelievable!!! We found the first one amusing (you know the one - send us your bank details and we will deposit millions into your account) but when the second one arrived informing us that they had to call in the FBI we were intrigued. It seems that some unscrupulous people, even from the Nigerian govt. and police force were trying to stop us getting this money hahaha. I can understand some people being duped by some of the cons around because some are good, but I can't feel sorry for anyone that falls for this one - they are just plain greedy.

email scams
do NOT join up to any of the sites that claim to pay for reading emails. They start off by offering you $25 to join - at first you are paid 20 - 50 cents for every email read, then it drops to 10c then to 5c and then, would you believe it, when my account reached $39 payment dropped to 1c per email! You can not cash out until you have reached $50, so obviously, they do not want you to reach this target. A good way for them to earn money while they are ripping off suckers like me.

the frustrations of being a St Kilda supporter
I know it's only the NAB cup and that players were missing, BUT being thrashed by Essendon is not acceptable. C'mon you guys, you are supposed to be playing Aussie Rules, that means kicking forward, so what's with all the backward passes? Pathetic attempt!!!!!!!

another scamming phone call?
I have just received another call (claiming to be a computer company in Sydney) telling me that my computer is downloading infected files and that this company has been asked by Windows to fix this problem. I told the caller that I would check with Microsoft to confirm this and he hung up rather quickly. Is it because our surname starts with A or do they make thousands of calls daily?
What summer?
What is happening with the weather? It has gone crazy worldwide and surely can't all be blamed on global warming. Where I live we hardly had a summer but fortunately no floods, fires or earthquakes.
