BigBad Media are looking for contestants to star in a new reality TV
show called TRIBES. The show is scheduled to run for two months with
teams from Britain, France, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Greece and
Turkey pitted against each other. The winning team members will then
compete against each other with the eventual winner receiving £250,000
(and becoming a Europe-wide TV celebrity). The worst that will happen
is that all your living expenses will be paid for for 2 months (yes,
including drink).

You should be up for a great time. Looks etc are not important, but
you must be ready for anything.

If you think that you and / or your friends have got what it takes to
make it onto the show, just call 0906 693 9949 to find out more
details and how to apply to be a TRIBES team member. The call will
last just a couple of minutes.


Remember, you can't win unless you're in so apply now (like today).
0906 693 9949

Don't forget, we want to hear from your friends too, so please forward
this mail to them all. We would love to have a team of friends. 0906
693 9949

A nauseatingly horrible suggestion, which leads me to conclude that I would
prefer to have dinner with Tony Blair than partake of said offer. And that,
children, is a fate worse than death, so should show what I think of this
load of dingoes' kidneys.

What about my mortgage and my wages I'm not getting from work? No, didn't
think so.

Sounds like "It's a knockout" so far. Will Stuart Hall be hosting it?

Bill, oooh yes, I want to call a premium rate number!

Who curiously don't seem to have an entry in the Companies House
database, don't seem to have a web site and Google has never heard of
"Bigbad Media Rotherham".

Yet they do seem to have a premium rate telephone number.

Looks like a scam, smells like a scam, anyone taking bets here?

So, who gets the money when a sucker bites? Are you suggesting that a long
distance provider would waste time using this tactic to make a few bucks on
long distance charges? If so, they're pretty desperate ...

You've misunderstood the term "premium rate". You have 1-900 numbers in
the US don't you, where the number generates revenue for someone who is
not the carrier? Same thing.

Someone who posts at the top of an article rather than placing their
replies in context. Don't do it.

I type a message and hit "Reply Group". What happens after that has nothing

If you are TROLLing for a fight, forget it ... I'm not in the mood. In other
words, take a hike.

When you do your reply, Rob, MOVE THE CURSOR TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

Or get a newsreader that does it for you if you're not capable.

I hope all Canadians aren't as lazy as you.
