SPAM SPOOF AND STUPIDITY.

Google:
There are times the Internet irritates. Not sure whether one has to blame the internet service providers, or solely their advertisers. Do  retailers really think they are doing their firms a favour by sending out  all the spam that so many of them send. At Christmas I bought a second hand book from a firm called Abe Books, a business located in Cheshire. Ever since it has incessantly made me offers of this that and the other. Apart from them doing that I have no complaint with the firm, but would assure them that given a choice of retailer their firm would not be the one to get my business.

OTHERS  I do wish to hear from i.tunes or Love films or Boiler Juice who seemingly deliver oil to one or another of my nine neighbours every week of the year, nor Nero or Kodak. etc etc. Naturally one has binned all such advertisers, but then here bins only get emptied once a fortnight.

AMAZON.
A while back I thought to buy a Sat.Nav.  hoping the device might be more useful than it seems to be. One looked here and there to compare prices, however the best deal on the internet didn't have my choice in stock, so I took the easier route through John Lewis'. Why in the name of Heaven does Amazon keep sending me deals relating to Sat Navs. weeks after one purchased the device elsewhere, and fully acquainted myself of information such as' you are now driving along the A.303'. But then I haven't as yet located the how to use instructions on the Internet.

ESTATE AGENTS.
 That I happen to look up detail of a house in the Thames Valley doesn't signify that I wish to buy one there, so why do Estate Agents adverts keep appearing on my computer screen. If I wish to hear from them I am more than capable of contacting them. Since one isn't thinking of buying a house it follows that I am not in need of the Services of a Removals firm, despite having e.mailed an 1870's  lithographed Advertisement of such a firm to a friend.

SCREWFIX.
Another ubiquitous enterprise whose Ads proliferate. I am not given to buying more than one Central Heating Pump in any Decade, so why keep intrusively  posting me offers of more and more of the things, especially since they didn't have the fittings for it stocked in Salisbury when I went in to buy it, though these were promised for the morrow.Unfortunately I wanted them 'yesterday.'

FACEBOOK once advised me that a very old friend wished to be a Friend. One fell for it, and I now have the seeming availability of friendship with some hundred or so delightful persons, including my own daughter and the daughter of a sometime friend next door, and too a son in law. Possibly such thoughts are unrealistic for I never posted my picture on line. That's all great stuff but the original friend tells me that she had never joined Facebook in the first place, despite that yesterday she allegedly posted a whole new Ball Game of inexplicable photographs which might or might not be connected with a member of her family.

PAYPAL. is a way of paying for things bought on the Internet. Yesterday one received a very convincing personally addressed communication, allegedly sent by them. Well that got forwarded to the Fraud Office, for had I had a Paypal account there was no reason for the real firm to need to have detail of my Bank Account or Password. One hears much of other accounts I don't hold at The Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, HSBC etc. All these things being so, surely no one should Bank on line, but they do.
