  • Go down the "You'd rather see me use the money now, rather than when you can't route" - especially if you plan to use it sensible for something like a home deposit.

    If you plan to go travelling around South America then it's not the best argument to use

    Have a nice friendly but slightly threatening conversation which at the end sets a deadline in terms of getting "your money".

    On the day of the deadline, casually stroll up drinking a glass of orange juice and ask if there was some confusion about the deadline. Whatever the response is, compliment your orange juice and smash the glass and use it as a weapon. Follow that up by asking "where the @@@@ your money is" repeatedly whilst slamming their head in the toilet lid and using a golf club on them whilst shouting "don't make a fool out of me" at the top of your voice. At this point stop, set a new tighter deadline and if you don't have your money by then, use a flamethrower.

    Watch Family Guy for the finer details if more information is needed.
