mutley 4,495 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Well, it's that time again, a meeting with the bank manager has been arranged to extend a line of credit via a credit card that will accompany the baton around the globe. If that fails, Wonga.com says they can advance a 100 quid a month @ 1509% APR. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I guess those investments in Greek government bonds, Venezuelan oil stocks and Egyptian tourist services didn't pay off, eh? John 2 Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Yeah, don't ever take financial advice from me. If it was raining $20 bills I could walk outside and get hit in the head with a sack of pennies. John 2 Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,310 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Checked my pockets and found 38 cents and a crumpled Subway gift card with $2.04 left on it and are sending it your way, sorry but I need to keep the ChapStick. Save travels to all. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I have a Woolworths Gift card you can have if it helps. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,310 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Well heck, add that all up together and things are looking up for this years travels. And as a plus I am donating a bunch of money I came into. What happened was I was trying to glue together my broken pistol grips and somehow the darn pistol got stuck to my hand, I went to the doctor to get it removed but they were rather standoffish for some reason and demanded 300 dollars cash to help me or to leave immediately. I didn't have it on hand so I walked into the bank next store and they gave me thousands for free, I guess they felt sorry for my situation, nice people I might add that were so helpful. So we are good to go. Gotta go, the cops are pulling me over, probably for texting and driving....... 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Giza! Love it. I don't think they have banks there. Even the West Bank is outside their area. Do you think Geezer might be more appropriate? John Link to post Share on other sites

hifly 925 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Well that's the finances sorted. Has the baton been degreased, disinfected? Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'm still kind of amazed that the baton made it through British customs when originally shipped all those years ago. I wouldn't have been too surprised to have learned that they had taken it out to a deep hole in an empty field and "safely disposed of it" with about a half-pound of C4.

mutley 4,495 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Definitely looks like a pipe bomb. It's wearing well, only a few chips on the writing and it will be making a guest appearance at the Flight Sim show at Cosford this year. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
