So you got a call from Tubey.
tubey is a good guy

Davoh said...

iF "Tubey" is such a 'good guy' - how come he uses inappropriate language, and can't log in with a name that can be cross-referenced to a blog or profile??

Vest said...

WTF is tubey?

Davoh said...

Best not to ask, I guess, Vestie. The "anonymous" facility of the "interwebs" seem to attract some very peculiar people. Not me, of course. Am old, and ugly, enough to take full responsibility for whatever i post.

.. and to explain further .. I did receive two emails from what looked like a "fellow blogger" using his real name, asking to "be a friend" but became suspicious since there was no "personal" greeting nor information within the email. Just a graphic saying "join now" or similar.

I looked up "Tubely" on gurgle - then emailed him to ask if that was 'genuine' .. but he said No, didn't send. At this point it looks as if 'gmail' accounts are vulnerable.

.. and further .. i do have a 'copperwire' phone number that is difficult to "hack". Will supply it, but only to those people that i actually "trust".

John Myste said...

Can I have it, Davoh?

Davoh said...

Short answer JM - No. Don't trust you.

John Myste said...

First of all, that answer was about the same length as your others to me, so don't pretend it's short.

Secondly, I am a liberal. You can trust me, sir. Oh, Davoh, after all we've been through!

Vest,

I wanted to know what tubey is also, and I almost asked, but then I did not want to betray my ignorance of Australian English.

However, since you are ignorant also, it would seem, what exactly is it?
