Buying "love"

Now I have nothing against desperate people. However, I don't class myself among them. Quite why some "friends" of mine decided to sign me up for a Russian bride therefore is beyond me. I don't think I've made any hint towards requesting this. However, one day I'm idly checking my emails. The next thing I know I'm reading an email stating that I have a membership to a top notch Russian bride website, and that all of these women would like to chat to me.

This leaves me in a quandry....several in fact. To begin with, something I read a long time ago always haunts me. "If you ever hit the 'I want to be removed from this mailing list' link in an email, you will instantly confirm to them that this is an active email address." I can't remember where I read this, but I've lived by it ever since. This, unfortunately, also means that I can never stop them since the webmail I use has no junk facility. Needless to say I've stopped reading them.

Oh, I mentioned other quandries (or is that quandry's? Does it really matter?). There's always that niggling doubt in the back of your mind. The little demon whispering "It would be so easy. No awkward dates. No cheesey chat up lines. Just cash in hand and your away"......but surely that's prostitution....or slave labour, depending on who gets the money I guess. No, it's definately a bad idea. Bad demons! No!
