| 823852 | 2009-10-25 21:50:00 | Same here, people have given me IIRC. A dozen V lol (because her daughter works there, wherever they distribute it). Not that I drink it. A dozen or 2 beer (dont really drink this either, gave most of it to the flamate). She didnt complain. A carton of smokes, or more. Money. Even a PC repair book (upgrading and repairing PC's - about $120 or something. Still had the price on it). An ex-work colleague used to come to me often (because he didnt listen, and used to use P2P programs, and get infected). Till his wife said he had to pay me lol. Havent heard from him since. And another from manukau, havent heard from her for a while. She didnt listen either, used to use P2P programs, get infected, and probably cbf paying me now lol. So hasnt bothered calling me again |
