Tell him you can supply the bikes but you need the cash upfront into a swiss
nubered account.

 

and they'll have to send am 'm' as a sign of good faith

 

oldbloke at work emerged from their own little world to say


Didn't take you long to establish an internet connection so you can skive
on UKRM.

 

Heh, I was at work when I posted that.

I am now at home, and my broadband connection hasn't been cut yet.

Ask him why he has an Indian e-mail address.

 

Broadband costs like £15 a month now - why can't you just transfer it?

 

I am going to ditch the second line (paid for also by my old co) and
transfer the main line to digital.

New firm's IT Bod is due to come over at some stage and bring my ageing
network up to date (there was even mention of a wireless lan)
