I have a lad in Leeds who thinks I'm flying in from Washington to London today. He wants me to book intp a hotel, call him and he'll come meet me. It's only 200 miles, but it's a good start!!! Very Happy

Should I tell him I'm staying with a friend and give him my baiting mobile number, or should I enlist the help of a UK baiter to answer a UK mobile, or safe non-mobile number ( 0870 ) to confirm my hotel booking if need be?

Modalities please, people...This guy is one of the pushy ones who needs a lesson in morality!

How about for some reason(s), you decided to stop in Paris first and ask the lad to meet you in Paris instead. Twisted Evil

I mean afterall, only 3 hours train journey from London to Paris! Cool

My safari is well under way! The scammer got another scammer to call me and arrange to meet me in 7 sisters Rd tube station at 12.30.

Unfortunately, the bank will have sent me to thier headquarters in Baker Street by then. He'll have to get back on the train...

Hammersmith is futher away... or even better get him out of Zone 3 (the lad will need to pay extra for the tube ticket)! Twisted Evil

Mornington Crescent! I win!

He's just left 7 sisters, and is back on the train to Bond Street, where's he's going to walk to the HQ of Allied Irish Bank in Berkeley Square...

Might get him to acually go in and speak to Bertie Aherne...

OOOOHHHHH, I love that webcam thing!!

I think I'll get him to go to he Transport museum and wait at that sign near the white van.

Watch that space...

PM me if interested in filming / photographing a Leeds meet. (timing would have to be specific though I'm afraid)

Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2005 1:03 pm

Tell him to pick up some tea from Forum and Mason on the way down...

Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2005 1:25 pm

Tea would be LOVELY, thanks. It would also identify him to all the baiters here...

What do I have to do to earn me one of them there pith helmets??

Seven Sisters tube station, Bah!

What a terrible place to meet a business partner; it's not the most salubrious of areas. If you do happen to "miss" your latest meeting you could always "stop by" Seven Sisters (your local mugu probably lives nearby). It'd be a real shame if you got mugged whilst wandering around the area trying to get in touch with him.

Anyway if you need any local knowledge that area, just drop me a PM, I'm happy to give a little info to make your visit there more believable.

He's going to the Transport museum, to wait at the sign beside the White Van. He's wearing a black suit, carrying a blue bag, and may even have MARTIN on a card, so i can recognise him...

10 minutes or thereabouts

GAME ON!!!

I might get mugged alright...

7 sisters was my idea, cos I have an ex from there, so I could talk about the area without messing up too badly.

What about a trip out to Upminster, a decent ride from london and one stop short of barking!

Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2005 1:49 pm

It might be handy to know that there's construction around Seven Sisters station right now; the entrance to Seven Sisters Rd. is closed off. So you have to go out via west green road.

How's about ye,big man!

Yeah, I'll see how much crap this guy will take, once I get my webcam trophy pic. He thinks he's getting 5K stg, so he'll be obliging for a bit longer yet.

Fred: Please email me with your availability and filming modalities as I might just get some of my spare London lads to Leeds in the near future Smile

Does anyone know where that bench with the sign is once you get to the transport museum?

Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2005 2:13 pm
