Well good or bad he had a point. If I remember correctly the Manchester bid was hardly the most impressive ever. (Manchester got the commonwealth games a few years ago didn't it?) Coe a complete knob? Well, for a complete knob, he sure has done a pretty excellent job in the last few.

Theres been a few times in the last few months when "real" (ie not spam) mail got filtered as spam and I did not get it - causing problems. I read somewhere it is a growing problem as well.

I saw that on CNN. The excuse was "the bad started the wrong song". Was that Jude Law introducing here?

At work once they had over 25,000 junk mails lined up one morning.
