Tell you what I'm going to walk into a Ferrari garage one day, because I really want one, string them along and just as they are starting to lose patience

Someone did that once. Said he had won the lottery. Finally revealed it was £10.

[SimonMac]

So you have tickets that you need to sell? I will give you £100 for them

[SimonMac]

Hi mate

Can I have them ? I definitely do need the tickets. I really want to go to that wankfest.

I will send you a cheque for 1000 quid and you can then give me the difference back in cash plus the tickets.

I wont let you down.

I know a scruffily dressed guy who used to go round Audi dealers with a plastic bag full of cash and then show them the money after they'd refused to let him test drive a TT. Bit childish really.

[northernladuk]

Both

Now now, don't be greedy...

Here is me strumming a sad tune for you...



EDIT : Not really me of course

[psychocandy]

Do you want the worlds smallest violin picture or the WGAS meter picture?

Both

[psychocandy]

Yes and as we know he's doing you missus, I naturally assumed that she's had to take on some extra work.

Ah I see. I thought that was a secret. As long as he leaves enough coin on the mantlepiece....

Was referring to KentPhillips thread from a few months ago where he had a thing for his cleaner if I remember correctly.

You do need the money if the missus has had to start cleaning.

Pisses me off.

Had two spare V Festival tickets (cost almost £200 each). Friends of ours said we'd have them - this was a month ago.

Said sort it out when we come back from hols - that was two weeks ago. Since then, I've had about 5 instances of failing to turn up to collect and pay for the tickets. Although he did offer to collect the tickets and pay by bank transfer in a few days - bollax said I.

So sent him txt saying look I need to sell these do you want them or not? Had apologetic text saying yes definitely, I promise I wont let you down etc.

You can guess the rest. Text today saying sorry to let you down, a few things have come up etc. Tosser.

In other words, suddenly realised the tickets were a few hundred quid and cant afford it.

Pissed me off. If you promise something which involves a financial outlay on your part - make sure you can actually meet your promises first.

BTW. Anyone want 2x tickets for V Festival Weston Park Staffs 18th/19th Aug?

It sounds like a verbal contract. Ask NLUK about dunning.

Too busy banging the cleaner?
