What is hacking you off today?

Drivers not acknowledging when you slow down to let them in from a side road. I'm not obliged to do so (this isn't Belgium) so a wave a quick flash of the hazard lights wouldn't go amiss.

Yep, it's their immune systems developing. The more they get, the stronger they should be - so just console yourself with that thought! Mind you, it's the same in any new environment, you wait till she gets to school!

Indian fielders not playing to the spirit of the game. Firstly one has a major colision with boundry rope/board and having three attempts to flick ball back whilst blatantly still touching. Second one watches ball sail a good two foot over the rope about six foot from where he was standing. Umpire asked both two confirm for him. Both just shrugged their shoulders and forced tv replays. Its not just Loius Saurez!!

I swiped some chumps laptop bag last night only to find it contained no laptop, but a folder labelled "teaching materials", which was just a stack of gay porn. Gutted ain't the word, can't tick any gear ATM and that laptop would have had me sorted for at least a weeks worth of gear :sad:

Ha!

Just for the sake of accuracy, it wasn't a laptop bag but a kosher briefcase (as I said).

The "teaching materials" were Spotlight on CAE, 2 class audio Cd's,Spotlight SB and F2F Advanced Dvd -rom.

Oh, btw,I'm not gay but happily married with two daughters.:finger:

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Freaked by a Sikh.

Still trying to work out whether he is a street con artist or a mind reader. Came up to me in the street and without me even telling him anything about my life was very close to accurate about my life and circumstances. He wrote a lot of things down on a piece of paper, told me March would be a lucky month and I would come into some money. That's Bonus month and if I get what he wrote down I really will be freaked out.

The upshot of it is he wrote on and screwed up a piece of paper, gave it to me and then said he will ask 2 questions for which the answers are already written down. He asked my favourite colour and how many in my family including wife. Yes, Blue 3 was on that paper.

Now I said very little to him through the whole episode. My suspicions are aroused by his final request for a donation for his travels and I actually gave him a tidy sum, not extortionate but still healthy. I'm trying to work out where I've been conned because I know I have.

It's a well known con that is sweeping the World. Any rich part of town or tourist spots. They call it the lucky face con, because a lot of them first say, 'You have a lucky face.' From what they know, there are at least 3 ways of doing it.
They show 1 piece of paper. They write on it. They scrunch it up. They ask you usually 2 or 3 simple questions. Then pass you this 1 piece of paper and ask you to hold onto it. Then they say open it up. To reveal the answers you gave.
This is done with hidden already made up answers, with all common answers covered. These can be hidden between fingers and on his body, all he does is switch the right answers paper for the one he was writing on earlier.

The common denominator. They will talk to you, and suddenly slip a question in out of the blue. Like name the first flower that comes into your head, and say a number between 1 and 5. Most people say Rose and 3 when asked quickly. This would have been on a crumpled bit of paper that he asked you to hold tightly. In your case ORM, most Men statistically say Blue, and he probably guessed how many kids you had by looking at your age. They go from person to person until the get things right, if wrong, they make an excuse and leave you.

The plant or switch. They write down the answers to questions they ask you, and under distraction, they plant or switch the paper. The first method is used much more tho.
Once they have you in ga ga land, because they read your mind, they then tell you a very sorry tale to make you part with money. You already think they may have powers because of the Indian spiritual belief, but they look very poor, so it's down to you to save these poor children or donate to build a Temple or whatever.
They also may ask for 1 or 2 Hundred pounds, so when you give them 20 or 30, you don't feel you've given much, when in fact you have.

They are making fortunes, as some people are so convinced that this experience will bring them good luck, or feel so sorry and sad after listening to a story, that they go to the cashpoint.

Countries like Australia are coming down hard on these scamsters.
