I have been working on this lad for about 6 months now. For the last couple of months we have been going around in circles on one issue. I want him to leave to UK and come to Amsterdam where I hope to catch him on web cam. He wants me to send him money for the air fare. I refuse. Rinse and repeat. Today, I got this:

Quote:

I GOT YOUR MAIL.AM NOT ASKING YOU TO SEND ME MONEY,THE MONEY AM ASKING FOR IS THE FLIGHT TICKET,AS I TOLD YOU I SPENT A LOT MONEY ON THE BUSINESS I DID DURING MY VACATION SO RIGHT NOW I DON'T HAVE THAT MONEY TO SPEND FOR THE YOUR OWN INTEREST.ONE PROMISE I MADE TO YOU IS YOU SEND THE MONEY YOU WILL SEE ME THERE.AND ALSO I WILL HAND YOU OVER ALL LEGAL DOCUMENTS TO YOU.HAD IT BEEN YOU FOLLOWED MY INSTRUCTIONS,HONESTLY THIS TRANSACTION WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER BY NOW BUT YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE HAVING A BUBBLE MIND OVER THIS TRANSACTION AND IS NOT GOOD FOR IT. SO WILL ADVISE YOU THAT IF YOU REALLY WANT US TO CONCLUDE THIS DEAL,PAY FOR FOR MY FLIGHT BECAUSE IS BECAUSE OF YOU AM COMING THERE AND SEE IF I WONT BE THERE.

HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

Nothing of great importance here but I had a good laugh over the bold part. Lads have accused me of many things but never of having a "bubble mind". Laughing

Is that anything like a brain fart? Or maybe he just thinks I'm an airhead. Razz

You know you have a bubble mind. Hence the bubble helmet..

Are you sure he doesn't mean bobble head? That would make a lot more sense.

Well, I used to have a bobble head as my avatar so maybe he has ESPN or something (to steal a line from the airhead babe in one of my daughter's favorite movies, Mean Girls).

What of it?

Offer him some photo work to cover the flight costs.

I am very sure that there are a number of agents on this site looking for models Laughing

Here's another one just in today. The following isn't from the same lad as "Bubble Head" above (in fact I haven't heard from this lad for several weeks until this arrived) but it is one of the most curious comments a lad has ever sent me:

Quote:

I am very surprised that, after series of efforts and expenses in completing the transaction, you skipped off the funnel of progress leaving it black and blind. I want you to know that, I am having difficulties with the supposed paying bank in Nigeria in re-transfering the funds back to UK or U.S where you can handle it more freely.

Ummmmm.... ahhhhhh.... OK, dude. Whatever you say. Confused

I'm trying to work out what he actually means ..

you skipped off .. perhaps 'missed'

the funnel of progress .. 'doing shit'

leaving it black and blind .. 'now it's in the dark'

Smile

That's as good a theory as any. Of course, it was the lad who stopped writing to me but I'm sure truth and honesty are not high on the lad's priority list. Razz

EDIT: Just for snickers, I responded to "Funnel of Progress" lad with this:

Quote:

Mr. Crowley, Here is the latest update from the bank:

By introducing an orthogonal space-time coding scheme, multiuser code division multiple access (CDMA) systems with different space time codes are given, and corresponding system performance is investigated over a Nakagami-m fading channel. A low-complexity multiuser receiver scheme is developed for space-time block coded CDMA (STBC-CDMA) systems. The scheme can make full use of the complex orthogonality of space-time block coding to simplify the high decoding complexity of the existing scheme. Compared to the existing scheme with exponential decoding complexity, it has linear decoding complexity. Based on the performance analysis and mathematical calculation, the average bit error rate (BER) of the system is derived in detail for integer m and non-integer m, respectively. As a result, a tight closed-form BER expression is obtained for STBC-CDMA with an orthogonal spreading code, and an approximate closed-form BER expression is attained for STBC-CDMA with a quasi-orthogonal spreading code. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can achieve almost the same performance as the existing scheme with low complexity. Moreover, the simulation results for average BER are consistent with the theoretical analysis.

How should I respond?

I have no idea what any of that means but it sure sounds impressive. Razz

The Lad may mean "double mind" as in, indecisive.

You are probably right, Yastreb, and it's good he thinks that because all this bubble-mindedness can only lead to more confusion and delay. Wink
