On visiting my Dashboard I was intrigued to observe that there are 4,106 comments in my spam queue. Does this mean that I have arrived as a blogger? I mean surely one could argue that the more spam one receives the greater the interest your blog is attracting. Then again perhaps not! To all those lovely spammers a big thank you for choosing my blog. My heart fills with joy whenever I see advertisements, in my spam folder for fake branded products. I no longer need to visit Marks and Spencers or any other store as, with one click of a mouse I am able to access a plethora of dodgy products which would make Delboy from Only Fools and Horses green with envy. Thank you dear spammers, it is good to know that instead of earning an honest living you choose rather to enliven my dull world with all those items I never knew I needed. Thank you!

I can’t help but think it must have felt horrible to find out they weren’t genuine comments. I hope you stop getting spam soon!
Thank you for your comment. I think that it is virtually impossible to avoid spam completely. At least WordPress captures most of it and confines the spam in a dedicated folder. Fortunately I get a lot of nice comments as well. Kind regards, Kevin
You’re welcome. 🙂
That’s good! I’m glad to hear that. I personally haven’t encountered spam yet, so I got lucky I guess.
LOL Kevin, I bet the most recent batch is for Goose Down Parkas and Ugg Boots 😀
Well that would certainly make a change from the various adult services which find there way into my spam folder! No cheap bananas though Chris, sorry about that, (LOL), Kevin
I might read more of mine if they had less anatomically unlikely email addresses!
Yes there are some e-mail addresses which one seriously doubts actually exist. Some of them do though bring a smile to my face! Many thanks for your comment. Kevin
This article made me laugh. I’m off to check my spam folder now. I wonder what I NEED in my life today.
I am waiting for a message telling me that I have won millions of pounds on the lottery. I hope you receive such a missive also as we can celebrate together. Have fun checking your spam and thanks for your comment. Cheers, Kevin
Haha, this one I received is genius – “Birds, squirrels and butterflies can add a cosy and home-brewed atmosphere to die for”. No one’s ever tried to sell me animals before!
This made me smile but I think these creatures are best left in the wild where they belong! For some reason spammers seem to think that I am in need of women’s shoes and handbags …
Or it’s one your secret admirers giving you hints on what to buy them 😀
Just checking my blog during my lunch hour in the office and your comment brought a big smile to my face. Thank you! Kevin
