I received this email from the European Commission yesterday:-

Dear Mr ******** [Using my real name!!!] (Good Lord. How could they possibly know THAT. Horrible! Lo,TG Ed)
It has come to our attention that you have various sites on the internet.

Dear Teddy – in association with *** ****** & ***** ******** [again, real names]
**** ******* [This site has been kept totally secret, even from you dear Avid Readers](Not totally, Peabrain….. Lo,TG Ed., humming)
You are also involved with other sites as a guest writer and you have a presence on Twitter. (Stephen Fry trembles at your name, Peabrain. {Now that’s an uncomfortable thought in several ways.} Lo,TG Ed)
This missive is to inform you that our committee i/c internet monitoring considers there are various issues connected with these sites and would ask you to read the attached encrypted PDF document. Your eyes only ………

I’m very sorry I can’t reveal what was contained in the attached document, but I don’t think I’ll be breaking any rules saying that everything we do on* or near a computer is being monitored very carefully.
I know, a tad scary.

*(Oooh, one for Fuel My Blog – Confessions of a Blogger – What do YOU do on or near your computer……? Lo,TG Ed)
STOP PRESS – The DP Fanzine issue 9 is now available at a blog near you – don’t you dare read it!
Stumble It!

:rolls eyes: Obviously some kid in Malasia hacked into your server and sent the phishbait.
MI6 doesn’t even know about the third site.
I just checked their core files.
You’re welcome.
Your digital skills using your digits are a reassurance to all blogging dudes and dudettes John – our cores are very grateful.
Cores they are.
John, can you sort mine, i’ve suddenly gone all arabic (i think)
On first thought you need to change all of your Google passwords to something else.
Then, revert your blog theme to something ‘basic’ from their choices.
You are to techno blogging what I am to hurdling ….. brilliant
I am a a mere piece of flotsum in the midst of your zephyr, sir. (the things he puts up with me sometimes)
I blame baked beans …….. and peas …….
…again, total awesomeness. Couldn’t have theorized a better presumption of cause.
Oddly enough… I think I recognize that guy in the photo.
I’m not too worried about ‘Big Brother’, brothers are a piece of cake to handle. As you know, in the fraccy clan, there are 6 sisters and 2 brothers… both of whom have learned they should fear the wrath of at least some (or one…) of those sisters. I can’t imagine who that might be.
Now… what is it with you folks across the pond getting these letters from officials? Over in my neck of the woods, it is we who have something on the officials.
Tee hee… not saying a word more.
I think it’s all the CCTV cameras that have secretly been placed in everyone’s computers ……. still, I’ve got nothing to hide …… ask the TG
wow DP that sounds way scary … you better watch your step in future
Does it mean that we are all under scrutiny …. I must wipe out the Fanzines …. oh that reminds me ??!!!!??
Ha ha – too late I fear. The latest addition, which I’m speaking to my lawyers about at this moment, will be struck off the interweave and may be used in evidence!
they have got you as well?!
The thot plickens ……. tee hee
Ok people, I give up, dont know what I did to offend anyone so much, can I have it back now please…………..?
There’s no alternative – you’ll have to go to evening classes ……
Can I just make a serious comment here? Don’t worry it’s unlikely to be a regular occurrence.
My Blogger site, has, for the last 7 hours had the settings
changed. Not by me, until I worked it out, I wasn’t even aware that you could post in Hindi.
I have posted comments and sent e-mails all over the place
to ask why I had been picked out for this treatment, and to warn people about a possible virus.
So thankyou, whoever that was, presumably at Blogger Central, good April first joke, i’m learning all the time
This happened as I tried to post the photo of the book called ‘Dogs and Goddesses’, maybe you found that offensive?
I would be interested to hear from other Blogger posters, if they have heard of similar vandalism.
I know I can’t really complain, after all Blogger is free, but I was very concerned about the security of my
PC at the time.
Just to explain to anyone reading who is thinking “what is this idiot talking about?”, Blogger have a facility
whereby you can write your posts in Hindi and several other languages (in my ignorance, I thought it was Arabic).
My post settings were somehow changed remotely, after trawling through the ‘Help’ section on the Blogger site,
I worked out what to do.
This experience, whilst being funny looking back on it, has only made me more determined to migrate to Wordpress, I was warned how crap Blogger was.
Thankyou all for your patience if you started reading this comment expecting something witty or silly, and of course, thanks to DP, apologies to you for this.
The best thing to do young GW is have a little lie down. This always works for me when the world turns …… odd.
Ta DP, if you could get in touch with Svetlana and ask her to pop round to mop my brow (did you say she
does massage too? Tell her it’s a nice easy job, i’ve got my own iron)…………………………..
Not possibly the PC…but rather the phone that was used to access Googledom…could very well have had a little phish swimming on the card.
Seeing as how some streams are polluted in other parts of the area oil is known to be in…just sayin.
Thanks again John.
DP, is there anyway I can interface John and Babelfish?
GW bin there tried that.. got the t-shirt.. JC is not on Babelfish ….
with time you can take the pebble from our hands and understand the JC
Hold on
Let me get this down ,err, pebble,hands,DP,are
you awake,shit, how many times did i warn you ?
D
Chances are you’ve got an application that was installed on your PC or better yet cell phone that saved and sent your password back to the suspected Arabic gamers.
Change all passwords to something scrambled (write them down first), and keep from using the phone one month.
If no problem…change the password again…but from the phone…and use the phone only to sign in to your sites.
You’ll be able to narrow down WHICH it was. It could take a month before they forget they snagged you in case they think they’re being traced.

I think you’re a mentally attractive woman and sometimes find myself wondering what it’d be like to hold you close to my naked chest.
As soon as you understand that the Universe is a 4 dimensional doughnut, with sprinkles, the concept that is JohnC is easy peasy.
The secret is to imagine his naked chest, with sprinkles, and then run a tangent that follows the line as defined by a quadratic equation down to his left pinkie. The rest falls into place using extreme logic with, perhaps, a belief in the tooth fairy – QED.

ooo ooo you have got me *blushing*
Careful of the sprinkles ……
Honey…warmed in the bottle under running water.
Very sensuous.
