For the last few days, I’ve been trying to fathom out the subject of this spam email. Mrs. Adams - who’s rather formal - tells me she has more faith in me than she has , or at the very least what she believes she has, in that that’s what she thinks . Does that make it any clearer? It doesn’t for me and I’m the one who said it, but maybe that’s because I have more less understanding than I think; I’m so confused I don’t know what my name is. (...though it isn't Rose.) Who is it that comes up with these things? I can only assume English isn’t their first language; or their second, their third their forth or their sixth. Maybe it’s their fifth but I wouldn’t count on it; not only does the subject make no sense, it closes with a rogue comma, which is just weird; it makes it all the more unresolved, in the same way a soap opera never will be; it’s not like the person who devised EastEnders had in mind how it'll finish when it does....

It's disconcerting to receive emails like this in your inbox.   Is it a death threat? Have I only got 2.29 days left? If someone’s taken out a contract on me, they shouldn’t be leaving a paper trail, even if it’s only in an internet sense. Or are they okay as long as no-one prints it out? This campaign only works assu ming you’ve committed to memory what Thebestof a re counting down in the first place. Clearly I haven’t, or I wouldn’t be writing this. Or maybe I have and I’m being obtuse (or trying to find something to flesh out a blog post.) This isn’t the only confusing subject-line to appear in my inbox this week. On Thursday, I received this: The question is, where’s Duncan?
