Anyone spot any good AF’s?
I initially suspected this announcement of Google’s upcoming email service – GMail – as bait. Now I’m pretty much convinced it’s true – the site has details. They’re offering a genuinely unusual service here – note user storage space is quoted as 1Gb!
The logo has to be a joke though, circa 1997 or what?

Someone mentioned to me today that The Sun were running a story saying that The Proclaimers weren’t actually brothers.
Not seen it myself though…

I’m not sure about GMail though. Do you think if you put your email address in the box you get an email straight back saying, “APRIL FOOL!”
Go on, give it a go…

I stuck my addy in this morning – nothing yet : )
If it’s anything like the Google Friends newsletter it’ll be infrequent though.

Nice one in todays Scottish Sun about the Proclaimers not being twins, not even related and biggest shock of all – one of them supports Hearts.

The new copy of the List has what surely is an April fool along the lines of drama students being hired to go undercover into gangs of neds then report back on their mischief making. Something tells me they wouldn’t make it back at all.
