I assure you, it was only meant as a joke

It's Ok I'd got that, it was more the tenuous nature of my other claims.

You get paid to drink? Cool :beer:

Close, drink can be involved before and after. I'm employed by a football fansite to provide various features for the owner (mainly a competition including a prize). One of the things I'm putting in the invoice will be provision of match reports. Admittedly it's not the team I support (I think that would be pushing it too far) but it means I get to claim various travel/tickets as costs. In return the users of his site will get an in depth report (as opposed to two paragraphs on Ceefax) written from a neutral viewpoint (rather than a biased report written by the OWS of the teams involved or by fans attending the games). It'll only be 3 or 4 a season I do, but it's something different.

I'm only make a very small profit out of the exercise (mainly through controlling the advertising revenue on my subsites), but it's as much about it providing me with the chance to work on my website building/operating skills at my own speed, as well as developing my writing skills, if indeed they can be developed to that level. I wouldn't mind a proper job doing the writing, but getting one without experiance is nigh on impossible despite the sometimes appalling standard from the professionals doing the job now (think local papers that don't even get the scorelines right on occassion).

Back to what's in our wallet's though as I'm waffling, I now have two half used return bus tickets from work. (thankfully I can use them on Sunday nights when I only get a bus home).

1st Class train ticket from when I was last in London (not boasting honest ha ha)

Well la de da!!

I've never treated myself to a first class ticket yet, and I've lived in London 2.5 years. Probably because I always travel by train late at night, and at that time of night there are lots of "undesirables" on the train, many of whom hang out in the first class section and clearly don't have a first class ticket (am I going to get attacked for stereotyping here?)

£0 Cash
Provisional Driving Licence
Outdated Citizencard (Should say 21+, sais 18+) - USELESS! No one accepts as ID
Co-Operative Bank Visa Electron Debit Card
PayPal Visa Topup Card (the Yellow one)
Nectar card
Boots card (With almost £20 in points on it!)
Tesco Clubcard
Co-Operative Membership card
Blockbuster membership card with several fines outstanding
Johnsons the Cleaners "Priority Club" card

... Pretty tame. Have you guessed yet? Bingo! I'm bankrupt :T

it was actually travelling from Leicester to London, and the 1st class ticket for some bizarre reason was the same price as the standard class! Only difference is the free cuppa!!!! Im not one of these people who travels first class all the time!!!!!!!!!

You mean that in first class they don't have automatic buttock massagers embedded in the chairs and hot models coming around to feed you grapes? My impression of first class was clearly completely wrong.

I get that in standard class - oh no wait, it's chewing gum.

First class on trains though has got to be one of the biggest wastes of money in the universe.
