Just in! A couple more eater members get a mention from the lad, but if he think he's getting paid for these sorry attempts his got another thing coming. Laughing

Mr Cyril's last email to the Lad (04:52 this morning)

Quote:

My friend

How are you this morning, well I hope? It's good to read that you realised you had made a mistake sending that email demanding your payment before the assignment was completed. If I must I will use Western Union, but I am not happy about it having read about all the court cases they have had brought against them for fraud and money laundering. However, if you're happy to take the risk with your £6,500 that's up to you. I believe I need the name of the person and the city or town where I will be sending it, do I not? As I say, I do not like Western Union nor have I ever used one, but I suppose it will be handy to know what to do should you want payments made that way as you get more assignments. Now, to answer your question about the words on the sign, which I will do just once more as I have already made it clear what Birlic expects in two previous emails. Are you reading carefully? The sign must have the words "FRESH FROM LAKE AM0UR STRAIGHT TO THE FRYER" they must be hand written and the same size as the wording on your previous photographs. If the paper/card you write them on needs to be bigger (as there are a few more words this time) that's okay, just as long as you and your friends smiling faces are visible along with the fishing rods and the big fish one of you will be holding up for all to see. Also, don't forget you need to be standing with your backs to some kind of lake or other body of water so that it looks like you really have just caught the fish in Lake Amour. I hope that's clear enough for you my friend? remember you only have until Friday to get those photographs to me or this whole deal is off. I think that's about everything, and I hope to see those photographs as promised some time today.

Whether the lad will or whether the lad won't we shall have to wait and see, but it's worth a try. Laughing

I've just got back after making a delivery of lug and rag to the quayside in Southampton and I've just seen the photographs you have sent. What can I say except, are you being serious? I can't send those to Birlic, where are the fishing rods and why are there only two of you in the photograph? We agreed that it would be a group photo of at least three or more people. It's not all bad though, I like the lake and the fish they look just fine, but the rest of the photograph is not what we agreed at all. As I say, I can't send those photographs to Birlic as they are, I think you need to redo them and this time stick to what we agreed. So, my friend, to recap, you need at least one more person in the photograph and at least a couple of fishing rods, but apart from that everything else is great.

What do you mean by fishing rods

Mr Cyril just now.

My friend

Why after all this time are you asking that question? Fishing rods, it's self explanatory, it's a rod you fish with as opposed to nets, spears or the hand grenades that some eastern European fishermen like to use https://youtu.be/y6X92PzMBSg . I suggest you Google fishing rods if you do not know what they are, there are plenty of examples if you care to look. Now, is there anything else you do not understand and need help with?

You're on a roll Mr.Dapper

Posted: Thu May 23, 2019 1:52 pm

Keep it up! I forget--what exactly are the lads doing to help your company? Given their compliance right now, the best way to reward these good efforts is obviously a package full of goodies.

The winners are BertjeAass and Mr. Dapper.

You haven't forgotten, I've never said, if you're really interested I'm happy to reveal all, but for now feast your eyes on these. Laughing

I'm not sure Mr Cyril will be happy with all of that rubbish laying about, I'm sure Lake Amour is much cleaner than that. Laughing

I reluctantly accept my 'prize' as I feel that MrDapper has shown excellent baiting skills, while I just got lucky.

So .Do I get to nominate someone for the gold, or has that already been decided? Smile

Posted: Thu May 23, 2019 6:31 pm

Congratulations on the win. The membership chose well. You can nominate anyone you wish for the prize. Let any Mod know.

Congratulations BertjeAas and Mr.Dapper, you earned it

Those trophies are amazing Mr.Dapper. Nice new gun in your siggy, or was that there before and did I miss it?

I think it's new, I've not noticed before. Shocked

Congratulations on a victory well-earned! And yes, that gun is new. Enterprising minds can try and figure out why, and there is a consistent internal logic behind most of the icons, but some things will remain secret. It may have something to do with creativity and/or quantity of trophies.

I may want to hire the lads for some other business enterprises if they are interested. You're already aware of this I believe. Given that they've been doing fishing-related stuff, a Moby Dick trophy would be fitting. Or maybe The Old Man and the Sea. Whatever you have planned for them, I'm sure they'll go for it hook, line, and sinker.

^I've just read your PM and I'll try to send my friend your way, but with a busy the weekend coming up I decided a little delaying tactic is in order.

Sorry for the late reply, but I've only just got up and I was out most of yesterday doing this and that and didn't get home until late evening so I went straight to bed. Now to answer your question, yes I see the photographs you have sent and on the whole there pretty good. I especially like the improvised fishing rods you and you friend are holding, whoever came up with that idea really needs a big pat on the back. I do however have one major reservation about the photographs you have sent, and that's the amount of rubbish lying around you in the area you're standing in. I've never been to Lake Amour but from what I understand it is kept in pristine condition by the owners and I do not think they will be happy with the way you and your friends are portraying it. Remember, these photographs are for advertising purposes and will been seen by fishermen in fishing magazines around the world so I really think Birlic will turn them down. I will send them to him anyway, but I warn you there is a possibility that he will ask you to reshoot them at a cleaner location. I think all you can really do is keep your fingers crossed that Birlic may be able to get the rubbish and those nasty pink flip flops air brushed out. After all my friend, we are only trying to appeal to the black face of Africa, not the gay one. I will of course get back to you as soon as I hear from Birlic.

Knowing Birlic he will probably have already set off for some grenade fishing contest over the weekend, so my friend won't get an answer until Monday, wonder what it's going to be? Laughing

Congratulations both of you, there's some great trophies there.

I have to admit that I have not seen so funny trophies for a long time. Simply, they are "classic"! I have just words of praise about your work! clapping

Maybe, after you will finish your fun with those idiots, you'll allow me to try with them one of my religious stories. Twisted Evil

Wow, what amazing trophies! Framing on the desktop next to the picture of the kids amazing Cool

The reshoot took place today, and not a scrap of rubbish or a pink flip flop in sight. Laughing
