Dear All,
If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person,
saying that, he or she is a company engineer, or telling that they're
checking
your mobile line, and you have to press # 90 or #09 or any other number.
End this call immediately without pressing any numbers. There is a fraud
company using a device that once you press #90 or #09 they can access your
"SIM" card and make calls at your expense.
Forward this message to as many
friends as you can, to stop it.
All mobile users pay attention if you receive a phone call and your�* mobile
phone displays (XALAN) on the screen don't answer the call,
END THE CALL IMMEDIATELY, if you answer the call, your phone will be
infected�* by a virus..
This virus will erase all IMEI and IMSI information from both
your phone and your SIM card, which will make your phone unable to connect
with the telephone network. You will have to buy a new phone. This
information has been confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia. There are over 3
Million mobile phones being infected by this virus in all around the world
now.
You can also check this news in the CNN web site.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS PIECE OF I NFORMATION TO ALL YOUR
FRIENDS HAVING A MOBILE

Because of you i can feel my fear
you are my tear
That's why i cant cry
You are a drop i cant even try
As long as you're inside my eye
Then i'm in heaven with a cry
Because of you i can feel my fear
you are my tear
That's why i cant cry
You are a drop i cant even try
As long as you're inside my eye
Then i'm in heaven with a cry
And there I shall bid adieu ... to yer and yer and yer ...

I welcome you with my words!
My words are the only precious thing that I posses.

I've always rather liked "bollox" - it confuses merkins even more.

There is a company called "Frigmobile" here in Oz that runs articulated refigerated trucks ... the name gives me a giggle but then again I'm a Sid James/Carry On sort of guy.
