Jim, who is "her"?
Is there something you'd like to tell us?

Don't get excited. "Her" is married and is the funniest person I know and we have been hanging out for years.

Coises, foiled again!
Hope you have a good time anyway :cool:

From yesterdays Bristol Evening Post:

Outside Bristol Zoo is the car park, with spaces for 150 cars and 8 coaches. It has been manned 6 days a week for 23 years by the same charming and very polite car park attendant with the ticket machine. The charges are £1. per car and £5. per coach.

On Monday 1 June, he did not turn up for work. Bristol Zoo management phoned Bristol City Council to ask them to send a replacement parking attendant.

The Council said "That car park is your responsibility." The Zoo said "The attendant was employed by the City Council... wasn't he?" The Council said "What attendant?"
Gone missing from his home is a man who has been taking daily the car park fees amounting to about £400. per day for the last 23 years...!

That's £125k per year...not taxed. Genius!

It's a good story but Urban Myth, I'm afraid

Taken from the Evening Post's website:

'It's a story which has been circulated on the internet for months and made people around the world chuckle from behind their computer screens.
Touted as a genuine news article, the tale of a Bristol Zoo parking attendant who lined his own pockets with customers' cash for 23 years before going missing with the loot has set cyberspace alight.
But the Eveninbg Post can confirm the story, which has been emailed to thousands of people across the globe in recent months, is nothing more than an urban myth – and the real attendants say the joke is starting to wear thin.'

Damn my Father for emailing me lies and rubbish- I shall never post any of his rubbish again. Did you hear about the crocodiles living in the sewers ?

It may not be true but still a good cracking yarn that made me smile :T

Just found this link from another thread regarding debt-
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=C4053BC8AA0BAE00&search_query=john+harris
An excellent presentation from a 'freeman' who has decided to "question, and question in depth". John Harris of The People's United Community (TPUC) provides an informative insight into the system that the elite have purpose-built in order to gain maximum control over the people.

If I tried to explain it I would sound like a looney, however I found it really interesting. Has anyone come across him before ?
