friends for boris

greetings


it was just a little while ago (at time of writing) that i had a jolly good go at making some friends for a former prime minister. yes, sure, here is a link to it. sadly, or alas, i have no idea how that worked out, look you see. no, i don't particularly care how it did. 

with some interest i noted that the chat requests on that scrabble variation i like to play ceased just after i posted that one. perhaps the pirates, the bots or who(m)ever worked out that i was amusing myself with responses, and had no interest in joining whatever it is, exactly, that "google hangouts" is. 

the silence has, of course, been broken. hence this post. yes, another fake profile, or automated bot thing, and no i am not 100% sure what that is, is attempting to lure me into downloading something called google hangouts to "chat" with them. 


full well it is that i am aware (or have an awareness of) that i am either "chatting" with a machine, or no one, or what have you. indeed i could just block the messages, or utter a few casual obscenities, getting myself banned off of it and so on. but, as you can see, i quite like just writing whatever pops in as a response to these things. sure, for my own amusement, but maybe one or two reading this are touched by mirth on reading so. 

not sure if i mentioned this in the previous post, for i am not as brave as you and thus do not read what i write. but anyway, i seem to recall hearing that you can soon work out if you are chatting with a bot thing, or some computer, simply by asking two (2) questions in 1 (one) message. that is to say that you have two things with a "?" at the end. should i recall right, the AI things deployed cannot cope with a dual question. 

moving on, and assuming that i failed in efforts to get a former prime minister to sign up for some sort of scam friendship thing, i figured well, why not try the incumbent (at time of writing) one. 


he, boris, done an interview recently. i didn't see it, but headlines i saw in passing suggested that he believed a wide range of issues facing the nation which he ostensibly leads the government for were, i kind of quote, "not his problem". with that being the case, i figured he probably had lots of free time to chat to people. also, my understanding is that he really, really likes fanny, so yes, no doubt some lass inviting him to speak on some chat thing would hold appeal. 

precisely what is the deal with this "google hangouts", and random invitations from strangers to join it? not sure in an exact way. some basic research is that it is a means to solicit money, or to share and spread various obscenities and other forms of questionable material. undoubtedly, dear reader, if i did really install this thing and add people who suggested it, there would be some effort made to extract personal info off of me, like my bank stuff and that. so no, they can f*** off. 

one would have thought, even if it was one of them spam hacker bot things, they would have put in a form of code (or whatever) to work out when a patently false email address was given. although, that said, you would not put it past boris to actually have an account on this sort of thing. 


absolutely no idea if either of them email addresses are right, to be honest. one i grabbed off google, and the other i just kind of copied the template for the one what was given for jeremy corbyn's address. no, i was not trying to forward "jezza" for one of these, but yes was looking for an email for his more mature, sophisticated and rational thinking brother, piers. who has excellent hair, if nothing else. 

well, that's about that. i very much doubt the lure spam rubbish attempts shall stop any time soon, but i have every confidence that my amusement value at responding has a definitive shelf life. as and when further invitations to google hangouts, or other such rubbish, come my way, i shall certainly share any responses i send if i find them vaguely amusing. 




be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
