From one non-geek to another:
Pardon my ignorance, but if you can email it why can't you post it here?
Cut and paste if it is just text, or attach?
Bloody computers...
(I got my son to install a DVD burner in my computer 3 months ago. I haven't yet worked out how to use it. My wife bought a silly little thing that looks a bit like a highlighter: supposed to be an MP3 recorder/player or something like that. The instruction leaflet that came with it was a masterpiece of non-information.)
Sorry about the rant... I'm sure there's someone here that can actually help you.

Mike, as I said, I don't know how, I suspect that you may be a closet computer geek ?, If you pm me your email address I'll send it to you.
Your ignorance is pardoned, whats all this cut and paste shit about ?

F/F

Find someone with a scanner and scan it in. Otherwise just type the text in by hand - we will believe you it is from a real response.

LMAO!!

If mr plod is cretinous enough to make this sort of mistake he and the whole outfit deserve every bit of ridicule and sarcasm they get.

What saddens me a little (and confirms my own experience from a couple of letters I have written in similar vein) is the certainty that you will get no apology, no acknowledgement of the stupidity, not even an admission that the people in the office got a good laugh from the letter: just a standard form letter with a grudging concession to let you off this time (such magnanimity!).

Ohhhhhh FUCKKKKKKKKK....I haven't laughed so hard it such a long time - THAT was way better than my letter....I love the 'so I rung Mum to see what I was doing that day....' bit -----Oh the pain in my side....it hurts - but must read it again......

PS - you may want to remove your address from the post as who knows what low lifes surf these pages ( I am not naming names)....plus on the whole big brother thing - I can find a shit load of stuff about you know with you DOB and Address - should I be so inclined

Bung - you bet me to posting it.

Had a huge laugh when I read it.

Particularly this part

"Mind you, I wouldn't be too disappointed if we agreed to let this one go. I could really use the $120 as I'm lowering my Nissan, installing an excessively noisy waste-gate and boring it out for better performance in the street drags down Te Irirangi and around Waymouth."
