Debt Free Wannabe's - Your Nerds Need You

Basically some bloke called Matthew or summin' wants to join our club (not the one with a lot of chocolate on your biscuit)! :rolleyes:

See here.

So do we let him? :confused:

Should he have to pass an initiation test if we decide to let him?

Should we make him start his own 'geeks' club?

Or should we make him post a SOA first? ;)

Ideas and suggestions and then we'll have a poll! :D

  • Oh yes... defintately need an SOA from him. We need to see how the royals live. :rotfl:

    Other than that an initiation test of drinking a pint cocktail of whiskey, milk and malt vinegar through a straw before trying to convince his mum that he's sober should suffice.

    I think 999 would be more fitting, for most of us, he's the 4th emergency service. :A

    I may be relatively new at all this, as shown in my number of posts - but I think he should at least have a £2.00 saving jar with score, or maybe a confession about some spending on the reckless side (like buying a pint when he only really wanted a half!) before his LBM - if he has had one. Afterall this 'club' is for people who have a common interest - oh you don't think he's a spy out to find why more and more people are not buying high interest loans and taking out expensive credit??? :rotfl:

    p.s. I would love a nerd number please....

    I think you should let him join or he might do some extreme money saving and pull the plug on HIS site LOL.....

  • Sorry to bust in on your party Scouser, but I second Al's suggestion of the less-than-holy 666 number being designated to Martin.

    <<Ever noticed the slightly-too-close-together-set eyes??!! Must be supernatural!! >>:rotfl:

    Actually I suggest he picks his own outfits for TV in future - that could be his initiation!


    :money:

    PS: how much stick must M have got for admitting that one on public TV!!!
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D

    I like the idea of 999 or 1000 to make it a nice round figure
