I just need some advice, please. I was in the local pub propping the bar up the other week when I got chatting to a pleasant old fellow at the bar.

Eventually, he asked me if I wanted a pint. As I'd got three-quarters of a pint remaining in my glass, I said no - but not wanting to pass up a good opportunity of getting something for nothing - I asked him if I could have the money instead.

At this he said that he'd just remembered that he'd got to go as he'd forgotten to do something at home.

The point is, I haven't seen him since and I never got my money. I think I know where he lives but is it worth pursuing him for such a trivial amount?

What do I do?

Lol i would suggest you just let it lie lol

How rude of you to ask for the money... although i have heard of this asking for money before... and why not they were going to buy you a drink anyway... lmao that has made me laugh!!!

Sorry to say it, but shouldn't this (and just about every other contribution by Sam Miguel) be redirected to the "People who think they're "whacky" but are boring as hell" thread.

No offence, like :)

I would put it down to experience. As I had to when a door to door salesman/canvasser knocked on my door and asked me to show him my a**e.

Let it be a warning, if a salesman knocks on your door and asks you to show him your a**e, DON'T.... IT'S A SCAM !!

I know I am a complete pain, I just can't help it. I bore myself silly all the time, so strive to elevate my meagre existance by posting ridiculous posts on several forums which are, to be frank, quite stupid.

I have tried to stop doing this, but find I am addicted to posting bizzare but extremely boring and often irritating stuff.

As I cannot control my ridiculosity (it is a medical condition) I will endeavour to keep a low profile on this forum in future for fear of upsetting such as yourself.

Once again, I apologise for boring you to death.

You mean it was a joke?????

:confused:

Sorry, I wasn't getting at you, Bonny. It was mojoworking's comments that prompted that reply.

She obviously doesn't read some of my excellent posts that are full of good advice and contain fair comment.

Was it a joke? Why should I joke about something as serious as that?

The 'wacky' thing she refers to as well - well, I have such a a low opinion of myself I can assure her that I don't think I am 'wacky'. Quite the contrary. Like I say, I can't help being 'off the wall'. I just can't be sensible at all. I even shout out of the car window at strangers for self-amusement.

Man, what am I like?

Sam Miguel and buy are words rarely seen together.

Sam go and knock on his door and ask him for the money, perhaps he's lost his memory and is just aching to get rid of it....oh and don't forget to tell him that if he wants to change his will in your favour, you know of a very good solicitor who can help him.
