Now since you have previously admitted that what you say can't be taken at face value, I assume that none of the above can be taken at face value either.. Do you even have any friends to refer in the first place ? Not any longer I guess
should I be scared ?? nah, your too scared to even accept PMs... :rotfl:0 -

LOL. So says the archetypal internet bragger. :rolleyes: The 'relocation consultant' who doesn't have a car. Did you used to be a presenter on Jackanory perchance?Call me Carmine....
HAVE YOU SEEN QUENTIN'S CASHBACK CARD??0 -
Rather than using the emotive term 'ripping them off' - let us just say it is terrible financial advice;)
You are making money out of giving them terrible financial advice. No doubt you give your commission back to your friends to salve your conscience?
Why not advise them to get Broadband only(and of course THE card), and thus save £hundreds on their gas and electricity.
You have of course seen Martin's newsletter today about getting dirt cheap telephone calls, not only from Skype but many other providers.
That of course negates the rubbish you talk about the huge value of inclusive phonecalls.
In fact why don't you take that advice yourself and while you are at it advise carespress!
What's this?? The Old Bluffer (TM) advising me on how to advise my friends when he doesn't even take his own advice?
And you would know all about the words 'terrible' and 'financial' wouldn't you? Come back when you're less, how shall we say....mental?
PS You really don't like it when someone examines your moneysaving credentials, do you? Not surprised, you're about as qualified to give moneysaving advice as Hitler is to advise on acceptable foreign policy. Keep living in your own world where everything you say is correct and you are a legend is my advice to you. Why come here where we can all see you for what you really are? It will eventually get you down.Call me Carmine....

Oh, a challenge to a duel, how exciting! How grown-up!
Can we adapt the rules below to the internet age?
Who will be your second? Vinnyph
Under the rules you cannot challenge me, as I have the higher social position – being a BG customer as opposed to yourself using UW.
10.1 A duel can take place if there is "cause" between the antagonists. Some situations automatically give cause, such as meeting a regimental enemy, refusing to stand down over a mistress, stealing someone's mistress, and so on. These instances will be noted in the London News and if both characters agree a duel will take place at the start of the following month. The status gains table attached to this section details the gain/loss from such circumstances. If a character is under half endurance he may decline a duel with no loss of status. If a challenge is made in the press when there is no automatic cause the other characters in the game are entitled to cast their votes as to whether or not there is cause. A poll will be set up on the mailing list web site and all players will be notified by email. If the poll does not receive more "no" votes than "yes" votes then there is cause and a duel may be scheduled in the following month. This will be noted in the London Times and a duel scheduled.
10.2 Not that the automatic cause of a noble meeting a non noble 3 social levels higher than himself does not apply in this game. Although players are free to challenge on this basis and it will be voted upon. If one of the antagonists is away from London cause for the duel will be held over for a maximum of 3 months and then will lapse. Cause may only arise once between any two characters a month and there may only be one outstanding duel between any two characters at any given time. Multiple duels with other characters may be scheduled and they are fought in the order listed in the London Times. If this is the case, dueling orders need to make it clear which orders apply to which opponent. Healing does not take place between duels in the same month but second and subsequent duels will be declined if the "decline" conditions are met.0 -

Buy a car to have sit it in a driveway for minimum 9 months of the year, duh !
That's what car hire companies are for, no depreciation, no repair/maintenance costs, etc, etc you really are a prize carmine.
and just to cheer you up at my good fortune, I briefly held some Llyods shares and sold them for a small profit when the rights issue was announced. Today I got a cheque for £928 after tax for the premium in excess of the offer price.
have a nice day carmine,0 -
