Nice work

Posted: Sat Sep 12, 2009 10:39 pm

DW: Not that I'm aware of. And even if they did, I reckon that sort of attention to detail is beyond the lads.

FM60: Not bad, not bad at all...

Too bad they don't have a lad in Germany. But now if I can get one of them to travel...

Catcher: Very Happy

I think lads make even worse excuses than baiters do.

Ana and Moose: Thanks. Thumbs up

Dougie still hasn't written to me, and as for Matty, I think we're very strongly engaged in a "no you first" fight with e-mails getting shorter and shorter.

Dear Friend,

Call me or call Douglas for direction. You have our numbers with you.

G. M@tthews, Esq

Well, here it comes. Would anyone be willing to make a phone call to one of these clowns and just say "hello, hello" over again so that I can write to them and tell them I tried? Anyone?... Anyone at all?

Posted: Sat Sep 12, 2009 10:46 pm

I could give it a go, if you don't mind them be woken up at OGod:early when I call.

Posted: Sat Sep 12, 2009 10:48 pm

^^

I'll send you a PM.

Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2009 4:25 am

Thanks again, Nap, for breathing some life back into this bait. I'll break off a piece of my pith helmet for you.

After sending an e-mail saying I tried to call, Matty follows up with this.

Matty wrote:

Mr J0hn,

Send me the telephone line where i can reach you, i will like to talk to you very important.

Gen3

Normally I'd be pissed, but thanks to Nap making the phone call, I can reply with this.

I wrote:

Dear Gen3

If you would like to talk to me so much, why did you leave the phone off when I tried to call you a million times yesterday? Do you know that you have to put money in the payphone every time it doesn't connect and you want to try again?

Why are you doing this to me? What did I ever do to you that you should drag me all the way to Germany and make a fool of me at some payphone in the street?

I spoke to Mr McLivingst0ne yesterday and he didn't even write to me. Why are you people doing this to me? Do you enjoy putting me through this torment?

I can't give you a phone number to call because I don't have a phone. How many times must I say that? I called you from a payphone in the street.

Now please, if you have a guy in Germany, please just give me his contact details over e-mail. Stop pushing me around like this.

J0hn

Nick's baiting rule #1: It's always the lads' fault. Even when they're stuck in some distant land on safari, it's still they're fault you're suffering.

Elementary my dear Watson. This safari is a cliff hanger, where will they go next, what fate will befall them whilst Old Nick sits in comfort in his penthouse suite.

Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2009 9:20 am

^^ Penthouse suite? I think that PI you hired to stalk me photographed the wrong building. Mine is the cockroach farm across the road. Very Happy

But, penthouse or not, I still reckon it's fair to say that I'm having a somewhat better time than Dougie. Although, in a strange way, I'm kind of jealous of him. I've always wanted to see Egypt, since I was a wee tyke. Some people have all the luck. Crying or Very sad

As for Matty, I'm going into tension mode with him.

Matty wrote:

Dear Friend,

Why not buy a cell-phone with sim in Frankfurt so that we can communicate.It will cost you less than a hundred dollars.

cheers!

Gen3

When his nerve breaks and he contacts me back, I'm going to slap him for jerking me around and wasting my time. Oh sweet, chocolatey irony.

Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2009 1:24 pm

He doesn't seem to be having cash flow problems yet. Maybe his oga is bankrolling the whole caper. If so, all the better. Very Happy

Any news regarding this first class bait?

Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2009 2:03 pm

This could be a TV show.

Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2009 7:56 am

It's not dead yet. Both have been ignoring me for the past two weeks, but I finally got a response out of them by waving a ticket in their face. As you may well imagine, at this point I have given up getting a boi to meet me in Germany.

I can't quite say I like the response, but it's a step up from being ignored.

Matty wrote:

Dear J0hn,

J0hn you are playing with this project.

When will you arrive egypt let me know so that can contact my rep as soon as possible.

Gen3

I'm still trying to squeeze a reply out of Dougie since I want to see for certain whether he's still in Egypt.

Yeah, sorry, not the most exciting news, I know.

Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2009 9:09 am

Hey, you got the guy to go there in the first place, that's pretty damn impressive if you ask me!!!

Mine's just returned home, I'm trying to work an angle so I can start all over again.

A miracle cure for the big 'C' and a need to travel with the man of your dreams??

BTW how did Sabrina like the dark meat?

Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2009 1:40 pm

All right. I finally got word back from Dougie. Unfortunately, the header seems to be a bit wonky, but he himself is instructing me to call him on his Egyptian number so that's all good.

Dougie wrote:

Dear Friend,
Once you arrive Cairo, call me
i will wait for you

Matty wrote:

Sincerely,

Naturally, I shall slap Matty for not picking up the phone last time I called (well, last time Nap called) as soon as I'm done posting this.

And here's Dougie's odd header. If anyone can explain why it's doing this, go ahead.

Could it have anything to do with "(LotusLive iNotes outfilter/0.91)"? For the record, his IP address has always come up before.

And, by the way, thanks again Nap for making those calls. Without your input, I would not have a realistic excuse to not call them now. You're the man. Thumbs up

HI Nick

I think this bait should be archived as a shining example to us all. If RL wasn't in the way I'd volunteer to be in Egypt to meet him myself. Twisted Evil

Trophy Videos · Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2009 2:55 pm

Still there? Time to get him moving again. You wouldn't want him buried by the shifting sands. Very Happy

And heaven forbid that he be bored to tears. Smile

Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2009 3:26 pm

Too bad there wasn't a webcam in Cairo where you could arrange a meet. I've looked and haven't found any working ones at a reasonable location.

She liked it a LOT!!! Almost as much as the Asian "concierge" she hit on later. NOW of course I think it's time to hit on Frank himself, I've already dropped "hints" Smile

Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2009 8:24 pm

^^^ there ARE limits and Frank is beyond them! How could anybody sh4g HIM???

Slappy: What could possibly be boring about sitting and waiting at a hotel room for a non-existant person for 25 days? Very Happy

Holy crap! I didn't even notice it's been that long until now.

Nap: It is a shame. I guess that means we'll have to meet up somewhere else. Twisted Evil

In the meanwhile, Matty has done quite an unusual slip-up.

Matty wrote:

Hello, friend

When will you arrive egypt let me know so that i can come and pick you in Airpot

Naturally, I asked him whether he's going to fly to Egypt to pick me up himself.

Trophy Videos · Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2009 2:45 pm

Poor Dougie. Sad

Matty better complete this transaction. Laughing

Posted: Thu Oct 01, 2009 6:50 pm

^^

I think there might be four specific letters of the alphabet that would restore his life pretty quickly.

That's not the road I took, though. After being ignored like a bad f--- for a few days, I decided to send them both an e-mail saying I've arrived in Egypt with all of my monies, no less.

In less than three hours, Matty replies:

Matty wrote:

Dear J0hn,

Good you arrive safely, Now listen i want you to give me your contact number in Egypt so that i can talk with you, My rep has come back to london, i will let him move back to egypt today or tomorrow.

Note that you should not do anything with anyone in egypt without my instruction, if you do you will have yourself to blame.

here is my direct line always call me here 004470xxxxxxxx

Thanks,
Gen3

Oh, how badly I want to believe that. It would instantly treble the distance covered. Naturally, if I don't get proof before Dougie arrives back in Egypt (if that is the case), then the claim is lost forever. I don't want that, so I sent this coy letter to Matty with a CC to Dougie.

I wrote:

Dear Gen3

It is good to hear from you, my friend. I think my e-mail was malfunctioning as I had not received any e-mails from you for a couple of days. It had me so worried but I'm glad it's working now.

So should I not look for Mr McLivingst0ne at the hotel any longer? By how many days did I miss him? Could you kindly ask him to contact my via e-mail before I leave as I wish to ask him something. It's quite urgent.

Furthermore, I would be willing to meet him at the airport upon his arrival to make the transition easier, so if you could give me his flight details, I'd be happy to do so.

I apologize for the brief nature of this letter, but I have had quite a tiring day and have no energey [most embarrassing typo ever] for niceties.

Please get back to me soon. I shall be checking my e-mail throughout the night.

J0hn

Pfft, and to think I was just a hair away from calling it.

Ooopsie, what a typo... Laughing

You might take this bait into a whole new direction. What fun!!!
*giggling*

I believe Doc Williams got a safari from a lad with energey... Razz

Trophy Videos · Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 3:06 am

Glad this is still going, Nick. I think Matty is just trying to cover up the fact that Dougie is just like a stick of petrified wood right now. And he has no idea where he is or where the winds have blown all the little dried up bits that have been shed off his corpse. Laughing
