      <description><![CDATA[Sorry to be such an awful bore, but just to set this back on topic for an itsy-weeeeny moment (That's it, people - mass exodus time. Oh, alright then, you know where the P G Tips and cakes are)

This is the latest 'job offer' in my mailbox from EuLance. I normally just quickly peruse the 500+ bids already placed before logging out again. Its a 'free' site, meaning you have to be in there the moment jobs are posted to have a chance in hell of success.

&quot;Hello, 
I have a new community forum, and I want a forum poster who post threads and reply on my forum, this is simple copy paste job. You only need to copy specific posts (threads) from other forums (I will provide you the list of urls) and paste them to my own forum.
I need total of 300 posts to be copy and paste, this is not a lengthy work so if you have a team of 8 or 10 peoples that will be great. I need to complete this project ASAP within 1 day, please read following points carefully. 
You must be a team preferably 8 or 10 peoples.
You must have multiple rotating IP system, I don’t want all post comes on same IP, so you must have multiple IP system.
I will provide you 10 different username and password for postings. So you don’t have to worry about creating accounts.
The selected provider must complete the task within 24 hours. (No exceptions) 

The maximum budget of this project is 30$. The bids higher from this amount will be deleted. 
Please submit your past forum posting experience through PM.
More details through PM
Happy bidding.&quot;

Not surprisingly, there were no bids - 11 hours after posting. Wonder why?]]></description>

No - just a curious mainly unwanted intrusion into British life by a U.S. holiday, driven by t.v. programs, admittedly with the collusion of cunning marketing people.

      <description><![CDATA[I agree with Skids, mostly due to fearsome English teachers.  But resemblance could be construed to refer to who you are first acquainted with.  If you are a good friend of the son, would you not say that the father bears a striking resemblance to the son, once you have been introduced.  The order of precedence is your familiarity with the individual concerned.

      <description><![CDATA[If Frankly is both behaving like children, I take it that Frankly is siamese twins. But which one resembles the other?

I think Skids has it though: both father and son may indeed share a &quot;semblance&quot; of or to each other but the &quot;re&quot; implies &quot;again&quot; so can only be applied to what came second which in this case is the son's &quot;re&quot; &quot;semblance&quot; ('likeness to a previous image') to the father.

      <description><![CDATA[I think that you will find that the films bear marginal resemblance to the the books, rather than the other way round.

That's the trouble these days. Give 'em a loan and the universities let anyone in ;)

      <description><![CDATA[Hmmm. The Bond books are overrated and usually bear marginal resemblance to the films of the same name. Bizarrely I like Timmy Dalton 'The Living Daylights' but please don't deduct points for that alarming lack of taste.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Bond has a certain charm, though George and and Roger were particularly ugly men. I find the new one to be more energetic? I should see the new film, before I say that I am not convinced he is really a Bond.







Though, I have to say it was always ridiculous to me (even as a little kid) to have women falling over themselves for Bond. Wasn't Ian Flemming meant to have not liked Bond? Or am I imagining things again...]]></description>
