I've been getting spam email recently from people that I've apparently agreed to buy things from. For a long time, I've simply ignored or deleted these emails, but today I decided it was worth making use of these, so I've sent off some replies.

Email from Mahe M Avinashi Gounder:
Subject: Close5. Womens shoe.
Hi Micheal. Got ur msg in close5. U said u interested in buying the item. Winter shoe. Women. Size small. When shall we meet.
My reply:
Firstly Mahe, mispelling my first name REALLY annoys me. Now, to business.
Is it a left shoe or a right shoe? I am purchasing on behalf of a female pirate, and she requires a left shoe. If it is a right shoe then we really are wasting each others time.
Assuming it is a left shoe, please meet me and my client at Port Royal in Jamaica on the seventeenth day of November, she assures me that she will be "bringing home the booty, shiver me timbers" to port on that date. We may have to be on the lookout for Customs Officers.
Regards, Michael

Email from Eddie:
Subject: TV Stand
When do you want to pickup the tv stand?
Sent from my iPhone
My reply:
Eddie,
I was really rather hoping for delivery, this being the Internet and all. How much is it for me to subscribe to Eddie Prime?
Best wishes, Mike

Email from Christine vargas (with an email address starting "tina"):
Subject: Bread Box
I will sell it off on sunday so email then early I wake up at 7am
My reply:
Christine (I don't accept the name Tina as a shortening of Christine),
It is currently 7.17am on Sunday. I assume that you've already been up and about for 17 minutes whoring your bread box all over the internet, and as a result I've missed the boat. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
Regards, Mike

And the one that I've had a reply to...
Email from alfredo valadez:

My reply:
Ah Alfredo, I was really after a 48ers? Any chance you can remove 1?
Cheers, Mike
Alfredo's reply:

I feel bad for Alfredo.
In other news, we are rapidly coming up to the end of the Robin Hood's Bay Roadtrip crowdfunding campaign - currently we have 3 amazing sponsors, Diane Lynn of the Gratitude Letters, Denkai Designs, and deano_1 - for just £1 (which, for non-UK readers, the current exchange rates makes cheaper than ever!) you can join that list, be promoted, and most importantly, fund the purchase of alcohol. Check out the campaign now at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-robin-hoods-bay-roadtrip-friends-fun
