Boats and Bigguns

Fucking boat insurance! Fucking boat insurance, I ask you!
Yes, the latest piece of spam junk to be filtered by Akismet (among a sack load of new stuff today) is boat insurance. In fact, dozens of different types of insurance, and also dozens of different types of card games. Do these spambot programmers have a warped mind? Porn links, yes, they kind of make sense – but boat insurance?!
Sorry, I'm going on a bit there, aren't I?…
Well, today's a pile of junk. The weather can't make its mind up if it wants to be nice and sunny, or piss it down. Makes no odds to me, I'm staying put. 'Er Indoors goes away to Prague for a few days as of tomorrow, so all will be quiet at Castle Skytower – sleep disturbance and stuff like that will be at a minimum, which is all good.
But, really, boat insurance?!
You know what? I didn't realise up until about a week ago that Ivor Biggun was actually Doc Cox – himoff "That's Life", the classic 80's consumer programme with Esther Rantzen, a panel of unmemorable faces, and Doc in his corner showing pictures of turnips shaped like penises. That programme was always depressing, though, for the end of it indicated bedtime ahead of school the next morning. Hearing the "Tales Of The Unexpected" theme tune has the same effect.
Time to put the kettle on and make a cuppa. It's decided to rain again, which is nice. Anyone for boat insurance?

Your post prompted me to look and see what kind of spam comments I’d been getting in the past 24 hours… Lots of casino and porn spam…. even a little bit of insurance spam…. but alas, not a single bit of boat insurance spam. Sigh. I feel jipped.

How totally random! And how do they arrive at such a result? Do they poll a few thousand people on “what’s your favourite day of the year”? Or do they look at people’s expressions, and count how many are smiling?
Come on, The Sun, we should be told!
