Thanks Antonio, he obviously likes himself a lot to be taking videos of himself :-/

And, if you want, you can watch this video
http://tv.repubblica.it/home_page.php?playmode=player&cont_id=18494
where you can see what kind of idiot the killer of the two Irish girls in Rome is.
He put his mobile phone on the steering wheel and shot himself while acting stupid. He let the wheel go while driving and moved like a gorilla in his car.
I hope he gets 20 years for his stupidity!

Antonio, of course you don’t need to apologise for the actions of 1 person but thanks for the very kind sentiments

Thanks for the link; i’ll have to watch it when I get home as it doesn’t look work safe )

Can I use this space to say that I’m sorry for what happened to those two Irish girls in Rome?
The way the police handled the situation is beyond any reality, but I really hope that man will spend many years behind bars.
We need a more severe law for those who kill people while driving.

I find the filters very handy … for example, any time I have a post requiring moderation it comes in as a mail labelled “Raim�is” and even if it ends up in the spam box I spot it straight away. Very useful altogether.

I didn’t know gmail did filters; I use ‘em on my POP client (Eudora), but since it’s only checking gmail’s “in” box, those filters don’t find what’s in the spam bin. I’ll have a look when I’m next on the gmail site.

Cionaodh, looks like you could break my “record”

Do you use filters for incoming mail? All my incoming mail from lists such as Gaeilge-B have filters applied so that on the rare occasion that one ends up in the spam box it’s easily spotted and rescued.

I don’t know my monthly totals, as I clean things out every fortnight or so, but I just checked and had 8724 spam messages from 27 Feb to 18 March.

The filters aren’t foolproof, alas. I just rescued 5 messages tonight from such Irish language lists as Gaeilge-B, Gaeilge-A and �rsc�alta. Google doesn’t seem to “learn” when I “unspam” messages , either.

Maybe “agus” is a code-word used in selling enhancement drugs or replica watches from Nigeria.
