I’ve just played a free internet game “Check in & Win” at KLM.com. You can win 2 KLM return tickets to a destination of your choice.

Go to http://www.klmgame.com/index.php?inviteid=673b98DE7A38 and play the game.

Let me know if you win.

Hi, Could you please allow me to view Flash. It's something I need to review work related websites.

Would you care to authorise this cheeky request?

I love it. The two most painful things about Steve:

A) Can't be bothered to change the damning subject line of an email.
B) Believes that the IT section can be fooled into thinking that Flash is "required" to view any work-related site.

Aces, all 'round.
