    Lucky bugger indeed - my brother landed a 2 year contract in Jamaica which he started 2 months ago. Spends his weekends in Montego Bay.

    Grrrr

They apologised for cutting the chap and his wife off and said it had been a mistake and on part of a disgruntled ex-employee!!!

    Disgrunted! Too right. He was the rudest most abusive guy ever. He was swearing and shouting down the phone to me. The guy was a stock broker and reckoned he new the then ceo. When he said to me 'You listen to me boy, I earn more in one day than you earn in a year!! When I talk you listen. UNDERSTAND!!!!', I wrote his account number down and on the day I left, had the c-nt cut off. He owed 3grand and if he was so rich he should have fckin paid it!!!!
    He was probably upset that he wasn't one of the whatever thousand accounts in TGB that never received a bill? I was always amazed at how calm the customer advisers were. I guess you get used to it.

    I once gave my tube seat to Kato from the Pink Panther films.

    Once got in a tube with Ken Livingstone and had a chat for a good 15 minutes about the up and coming general election(before they won). I told him that they had a snowballs chance in hell and would never win.

    After the election I saw him being interviewed and he made a reference to our meeting when he described how he had met a sceptical voter on the tube who said they wouldnt win.
    That beats a Mr Motivator sighting

    He got on at Wembley and started talking to me I thought it was him but didnt like to say just in case it wasnt, he then got his card out just after Finchley road and told me 'you have been talking to Mr Motivator'.

    That is really cool!!! I would have been chuffed to bits with that celeb spot!

    I saw Mr Motivator getting on a bus in Camden about 4 years ago. It was about midnight and to give him credit, out of all the other goths, smackheads and stoners in sight he was easily the most motivated.

    My wife spent a weekend with him, plus about thirty other women. I don't know if he ever gave her one, I forgot to ask.

    I knew someone like that, thought he was a big wig working nights at Securicor Omega. Went face to face with me once, i cant remember what over, but he seemed to have alot more respect for me afterwards. ( i'm the stoney non violent type )

    He was going on about earning 40k a year, and all this.. when i left work one day at 6 in the morning i saw him driving off in his ford fiesta..

    .. come to think of it, the same guy used a shunter, to pick up a Lorry Trailor i was working in and drove off around the complex with me and another guy in it. *cough*tosser

    See, part of me thinkg would it have been worth kicking him in the shins, and making the front page of the papers as the Phantom Shin Kicker of Holborn station...

    And part of me thinks, what sort of tosser thinks of doing that?!
