A mate of mine setting up the phone systems used to choose a girl a week for some extra attention. He'd approach one that had taken his eye and tell them that they were using her phone system and computer to run some extra software on for a new release and that if she had any problems, no matter how small to call him immediately. He would then give his mobile.
He'd then get to know them and because he was having flying lessons he would offer to take them up.
A number fell for the BS, flight and the cash he splashed and landed up nailing about half a dozen!!!
It only went wrong when one lass fell for him and called off her wedding!!!!!!!

You have obviously never got a commuter train to\from Liverpool St or Fenchurch St. They are packed full of 'em. Lovely until they open their big fat Essex gobs or flash their foot tattoos. (And before you start; that's where I'm from).

Ah Todd Browns "Freaks" powerful film he made the original B&W Dracula with Bella Legowsi, the scene in Freaks where the 'torso' midget lights up and smokes with no arms / legs is incredible. Sadly it ruined Todd Brown's career it was deemed too extreme.
Btw those in the photo of Freaks above it remind me of people I worked with at a company sounding like Sneuters, not too far from Old Street London.

Ah, "Freaks". Now there's a jaw-to-the-floor shocker of a film (and one that's easily findable on the internet). They don't make them like that any more.

Interesting if contentious factoid to mull over for those that havn't heard it before. Good looking people are average. Beauty displays average. Average is sexy. Stuff like symmetry falls into that average slot too, since most people are fairly symmetrical. God Kylie is average looking.Last edited by TimberWolf; 8 July 2010, 21:34.
