A few days ago I read in a comment, I forget where but I think it might have been from David Ker, that my fellow blogger Dr Jim West is unusually secretive about his private life. Well, by a happy accident in the last few days I received an e-mail, in fact three copies of the same one, which reveal his secret life:
Contact Dr. James West for the claim of £1,350,000.00 GBP which you have won in IRISH NATIONAL LOTTERY.Provide your Names,Address,Age,Occupation,Tel,Country. Email: …
Yes, this must be our very own Dr West letting the cat out of the bag about his day job: running a lottery in Ireland! I don’t remember buying a ticket for it, but maybe the ever generous Jim bought tickets for me and presumably for his other favourite bloggers.
Jim, I am waiting for my cheque.
‘cheque’?????
There is someone with the same name as me who works in the same scientific field that I did before I joined Wycliffe. Scarily, his head of department is someone I worked for in Cambridge in the early 1980s.
I take it that Jim is an American???
Since he seems confused by “cheque”….
