I came down to United Kingdom for vacation. Unfortunately, I was mugged by hoodlum at the park of the hotel where I stayed. All cash,credit card and cell phone were stolen off me but luckily for me they didn&amp;#39;t touch my international passports where I kept it. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I&amp;#39;ve reported this case to the Police and also lodged a complain to the Embassy but they are not responding to the matter effectively. Despite the fact, I got injured during the process, It is really difficult for me out here. Again,my flight leaves in less than 3hrs from now and I don&amp;#39;t have any money on me. I need you to help me with some money to settle my debt in other for me to meet up with my flight as soon as possible. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I&amp;#39;m freaked out at the moment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Steve.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2611450562670073602-6859796228316980342?l=thebetterolddays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thebetterolddays.blogspot.com/feeds/6859796228316980342/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2611450562670073602&amp;postID=6859796228316980342' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2611450562670073602/posts/default/6859796228316980342'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2611450562670073602/posts/default/6859796228316980342'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thebetterolddays.blogspot.com/2010/06/my-horrible-experience.html' title='My Horrible Experience!!!'/><author><name>Steven Clark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02557461928364057168</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611450562670073602.post-5016650143076935037</id><published>2009-07-29T05:50:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-29T05:50:10.741-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Steve Pool wants to keep up with you on Twitter</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;   a { color: #0084B4}   a:hover { color: #215e88}   h1, h2 { margin: 0 0 16px 0; color: #000;}   h2 { font: 20px Georgia, serif; }   h3 { margin: 14px 0 4px 0;  color: #000; font: normal 18px Georgia, serif; line-height: 22px; }   p, ul { margin: 4px 0 15px 0; }   p { font:13px 'Lucida Grande', Lucida Grande, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; }   .user:after { content: "."; display: block; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden;   }   .user { {display: inline-block;}   &lt;/style&gt;   &lt;div style="padding: 8px; background-color:#9AE4E8;background-image: url(http://assets2.twitter.com/images/bg.gif);background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: left top;background-attachment:fixed; -moz-border-radius:7px;-webkit-border-radius:7px;"&gt;     &lt;div id="mail-header" style="padding: 8px; margin: 8px 0px;"&gt;       &lt;a href="http://twitter.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://assets0.twitter.com/images/twitter_logo_header.png?src=mail" style="border: 0px;"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;     &lt;div style="height: 10px; padding: 0; margin: 0"&gt;       &lt;img src="http://static.twitter.com/images/arr2.gif" style="padding:0px;margin:2px 0px 0px 25px;"&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;     &lt;div id="bubble"&gt;       &lt;table width="100%" style="background-color:#fff; color: #222; -moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px; *margin-top: -5px"&gt;         &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="100%" style="padding: 8px; margin: 8px;"&gt;           &lt;h2 style="margin-bottom:16px;"&gt;Steve Pool wants to keep up with you on Twitter&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt; To find out more about Twitter visit &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/i/c2d631694847ecbf8a1ee9ad0bbdf48b7ddb57ec?utm_campaign=twitter20081014103612&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=invite"&gt;http://twitter.com/i/c2d631694847ecbf8a1ee9ad0bbdf48b7ddb57ec&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Thanks,&lt;br/&gt; &lt;span style="padding-left:8px;text-decoration:none;"&gt;— The Twitter Team&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;About Twitter&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt; Twitter is a unique approach to communication and networking based on the simple concept of status.

Why do we call it &lt;/span&gt;texting&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;, not even writing or composing any more?  Why do they want to have an entire conversation with their thumbs when they could have just as easily picked up the phone and called their friend.  On one hand I should be proud, I have raised a kid who speaks a &lt;/span&gt;foreign&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; language, &lt;/span&gt;ur&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;, 4, &lt;/span&gt;lol&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;ttyl&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; and not only that, but, does it all with his thumbs.  Sounds as if I am describing some spectacular circus side show, " Come One --Come All", See the astounding, the astonishing.  A mere child that can type 90 works a minute using only his THUMBS!!!!  $2.00, THANK YOU.  No he was not born with no fingers, that is what makes him so astonishing, he chooses to use his thumbs on his own and he as been able to con an entire generation into doing the same and not only this but.... have also succeed in making people my age look at their kids every day with the same look....."Why don't you just call them?  No one ever wants me to text them because I keep spelling out all of the words!, &lt;/span&gt;ie&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;, laugh out loud (&lt;/span&gt;lol&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;).  I do this because I have to put on my reading glasses to see the keys and figure I might as be as correct as possible since I look the part of old man, I prefer the term "retro geek"  I have to stop now, my thumbs are killing me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2611450562670073602-8486996762225587162?l=thebetterolddays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thebetterolddays.blogspot.com/feeds/8486996762225587162/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2611450562670073602&amp;postID=8486996762225587162' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2611450562670073602/posts/default/8486996762225587162'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2611450562670073602/posts/default/8486996762225587162'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thebetterolddays.blogspot.com/2007/04/thumbs-that-hurt.html' title='Thumbs That Hurt'/><author><name>Steven Clark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02557461928364057168</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
