- Tell us something.: Just updating my profile after 16+ years of C&F membership. Sold most of my flutes, play the ones I still own and occasionally still enjoy coming here and read about flute related subjects.

Original and for once not a variation upon the 'Nigerian' theme.
Speaking of the Nigerian email scam thingie. A while ago there was a thread here with replies to these emails, really cracked me up
Recently I came across this one:

I enjoy having fun with the Generals son who has 11$ million dollars in an Ivory Coast bank that was stolen by his father before he was murdered by the Nigerian Secret Police.
After trading emails insisting I have fax'd my bank transit number, etc. I usually finish the game by:
Grandly announce that I am Sywet Motos, Prefect of the Nigerian Secret Police and that I have trapped him at last,
Introduce him to the minister's daughter who has 67$ million dollars in a Togo bank that was stolen by her father before he was murdered by the Togo Secret Police, suggest that they work with each other, and demand a 15% finders fee.
gets a laff every time

- Tell us something.: I became interested in the beauty and versatility of Irish whistles and music over 20 years ago when I first found the Chiff boards. Yes, I do have WHOA, and I love my whistles. :)
