If only


‘Have you had an accident at work hurting your hand hitting a solicitor who was trying to talk to you about PPI?’

What was wrong with his spam filter? Why couldn’t it pick out the rubbish that greeted him every morning when he turned on his computer? Why was his in box and therefore his life filling with trivia, nonsense, cons and rubbish

He opened a new search page typed “most effective spam filter” into the box and hit enter. The number of choices and downloads available was mind blowing. How was he going to make sure he got the right one? He started to read reviews when one comment suddenly grabbed him, “this spam filter has changed my life”.

He moved his mouse to the download box and clicked. He watched as the little blue bar slowly made its way across the screen until it was complete. Once it disappeared from the screen he slid his mouse to his email and pressed refresh to his email account.

An African Prince was seeking his help in freeing his frozen bank account. His heart sank. He lifted himself slowly from his chair and took his jacket from its back. He pulled the front door behind him and walked slowly up the street.

The couple from down the road who had bored him at last years Christmas street party were standing outside their house. He raised his arm reluctantly to wave but before he did they disappeared inside.

On the bus an elderly lady sat down beside him and began to talk. He shut his eyes in the hope that …..….. When he opened them again she was gone.

At the bank he asked to see the manager. The dull grey clerk was about to block the opportunity to see the person he wanted when her phone rang and she was distracted.

As he walked past her into the manager’s office he had a strange feeling that life was somehow different.

“This spam filter has changed my life”.
