Lands' End <notifications@landsenduk.rsc02.com>

dear Lands End

I received the following e-mail from you overnight; it's taken me quite a while to work out whether it is a spoof or not, but eventually I've discovered that it isn't. But only by digging into SOA records and so forth, so I suggest you change your "from" address to something a little less confusing.

one of the reasons I thought it might be a phishing e-mail is that I do have an account at Lands End, but I am most emphatically *not* Mrs Pamela S Forbes. And I have no idea whether you have refunded me or her - I'm not due a refund, by the way. So I think you need to look into this.

if whoever is reading this doesn't know what I'm talking about with regard to phishing e-mails, then please pass it on to someone technical.

it only goes to show ...

... that the innocent have nothing to fear. The guilty, however, had better look out.

this article, in today's Times explains how a serial rapist "was traced when DNA from his sister — taken in relation to a drink-driving offence — was matched to semen samples taken from the rapist’s victims between 1983 and 1986."

while I'm very pleased that this chap has been caught, and has pleaded guilty, why are they taking DNA from a drink driver?

the only red thing about Noo Labour

is their overdraft. Which is £27m, apparently.
