    good luck

    Well, Spriteboy has thrown in the towel. I can't believe it. If IT is too much for you then that only leaves the public sector. Failing that you can always become a politician

    I'm sure you'll be back since it's the only career where you need no qualifications.
    Good luck and I'm sure you pop back to give us the further adventures of Spriteboy

    PS
    MF is (was) the resident shop keeper. His cash isn't just from IT. He doesn't realise it but that wad of cash will disappear as soon as his kid starts growing and wants a proper education. "Edukaum, educakesum, eduKasion" - costs a bloody fortune.

    Ik dacht dat de vorige kerel heel onnozel was, maar het kotwijfje die nu hier is, begint mijn tepeltjes te knijpen.

    No doubt my previous teacher will consider it sort of franglais, but who knows, could be a conversation starter in Am'dam.

    Damn. What a stroke of luck for me and my spare cash

    Dear Friend,

    I write to solicit your assistance in the execution of a transaction
    of
    mutual benefit.

    I work for a prime bank in London UK as an independent auditor,
    during
    my last auditing activities I realized an unclaimed Bank Draft of
    8,528,000GBP (Eight Million Five Hundred and Twenty Eight Thousand
    GBP).

    Further investigation on my part led to the fact that this funds
    actually belong to nobody as it was originally prepared in error as
    an over
    draft payment for a contract executed since 1990, since that time
    this
    funds has been unclaimed.

    With my influence I am very confident that I can present you as the
    suppose beneficiary to this funds, which would be transferred to you
    for
    the benefit of the two of us, be rest assured that all legal
    documentations would be strictly complied with making this
    transaction 100% safe
    and risk free.

    Should you be willing to assist me in this transaction, so I can
    further inform you on how we intend to carry out this transaction,
    the funds
    shall be shared 70/30 between the two of us at the completion of this
    transaction.

    I await your urgent response,

    Regards,
    Donald Banks

    I lied. It wasnt a new car. It was 12 months old. I'm not stupid, buy a new car waddya think I am made of money!

    I was think I might go from Poacher to Gamekeeper as I have enough cash to bank roll a few contractors. All I need now is someone with thick skin to coldcall for me. Syed or Milan ought to do the trick.

    Not for nothing have you won the CUK Thick As A Plank (TAAP) award, eh?
