I'm always amazed at the really bad spelling and grammar used in the emails that I receive. I simply report them as spam but gmail isn't very good at handling spam.

The're always good for a laugh though..

Much like my spelling this morning!

I think they learn this in not too sophisticated business schools now. The most annoying ones used to be the ones where they wanted me to do free market research for the.

Nowadays I just delete them, unless they are really over the top. Then it's a blog post.

Great post as ever DG. Keep up the good work.

I got the 1st email as well - although in my case they offered the £40 bribe upfront.

Which I presume means they put my ethical level somewhat lower than yours.

Which is a bit depressing.

I once worked for a tiny UK company with the same name as a rising star American company. Our name was in existence first so we were able to ignore all the threatening letters from American lawyers.

One day I got an invite to Selfridge Hotel for a quality breakfast as they wanted to get some message across (I forget what) to "the market leaders in the xxxxx business" - or something similar. I joyfully accepted.

I keep getting emails about appearing on some pan-Euoropean web-based TV news network as part of an expert panel discussion about the impacts of carbon emissions trading on the European cross border logistics industry.

The only problem is that I live in Australia and have absolutely no expertise in that area whatsoever.

Don't delete the names.. Name and shame!

"work-hard-play-hard fellas"... bare bare lolz.

Heh heh. Mine are mostly about Nike trainers.

DG. What are your views on HSR2? Have you have time to mull over the proposals yet?

Ooh, I got the stationery one too (for my old blog, dead almost two years, RIP). I feel honoured to be on the same spam list as you

When will they learn,

Bingo!

B died laughing.

I'd still like you to cover that place that you don't have to leave your balcony to study.

B has no axe to grind.

Since when the hell where you "A purveyour of a good night out in London" ? You have about one bottle of Becks a month, party boy:-)

Even if hearing from these people whoring their products is an irritation, it's still good to know that what you write makes an impact out there.

So very funny! I might think a work-hard-play-hard fella like you might offer up many an insightful treatise on staplers and three-ring binders.

Oh man, I wrote one of these. Sorry if I offended you!

Did you take the free whiskey? Seems like the least you deserve for having to sift through all this drivel.

Oh, and if ", the leading men's lifestyle email newsletter in the U.S." is what I believe it to be (Thrillist - DG, feel free to delete if you don't want them to get the free publicity here), then yes, it's advertising veiled as actual content. Some of it, to be fair, is useful advertising that's clued me in to good products that I wouldn't have heard of otherwise, but it's still advertising.

Perhaps DG is a purveyour of a good night out. Not a purveyor, to be sure, but something much more mysterious and exciting.

Fecking feck! Feel sorry for the low-lives whose days have come to this. Call me old-fashioned, but my comms training started with audience analysis . . .

Purveyour is clearly a porte manteau word formed from "purveyance" and "parkour", so the meaning, obviously, is the act of the Crown requisitioning goods for its own use by jumping from building to building.

Can I nominate Wimpy as the best restaurant and Bambi staples? Best thing to do with whisky? Pour it onto pot plants (as a non-drinker)

I'm always amused about my blog sharing demographics or some such and could I plug online betting.

The only online betting I'm aware of is the Indonesian tobacco company which sold out to Philip Morris and now sponsors Spurs.

Can't stand 'em.

I'd have capitulated at the Whisky.
