Apologies for my computer and a pox on all hackers

I was mortified to find that my e-mail account had been hacked today and a string of bogus e-mails offering dubious delights sent to everyone in my address book. I am deeply sorry for all the inconvenience.

As for the hackers...

To paraphrase the mighty J M Synge


Lord, confound this surly hackers
Blight their brows with pustules spatter,
Cramp their larynx, lung, and liver,
In their guts a galling give there,
Let them live to earn their dinners
In Mountjoy with seedy sinners:
Lord, this judgment make from afar
And I'm your servant, Jessica
