    Don't impersonate the staff! We all know that Sean does the debt collecting duties over at CP Towers. To date, no debtor has ever fallen behind after a greased up visit from the Man who put the 'Man' into 'Mankini'. Not to mention what he'll do to you with his tassels...

      You signed up for CodeProject - and I certainly didn't get any free beer when I joined! (I'd have loads of sock puppets if you did!)

        We held a vote whilst you weren't here and almost all of us decided that you were a premium member. Some even suggested the premier member, but personally I think that is a little over the top.

        Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

          Yet again, you've proved that too much gin takes away the ability to distinguish your credit card from that of others.

                The main problem here is that MEMBER is a euphemism for PENIS.

                      If you stopped trying so hard, then you wouldn't keep getting the visits. You have no one to blame but yourself.

                                  I guess that was the other way round.

                                  I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what is used to.

                                      A solution to a problem that doesn't exist?

                                        The main problem here is that MEMBER is a euphemism for PENIS.

                                          Check your credit card statement - it's the one marked "personal services". Either that, or you signed up for a Premium account on Workspaces[^]

                                          Reminds me of a party the sales team organised for themselves many years ago in SA at a form i worked for. They had their meal and lots of booze and then came back to the office late Friday and started to work their way through the booze in our office pub. The word got around (Monday morning) that as the evening wound down and some of their team made their way home, the ones remaining phoned for some escorts to come to the company; paid for on a company credit card. The MD went ballistic (possibly because he wasn't there himself) and he threw the book at the sales manager. when the credit card statement arrived, it showed the escorts listed under the category MEAT. The sales manager was forced to refund the money.

                                          If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.
