Fleecy lives in the UK? Anyone know where? I know a few lads who would "like to pop in for tea" :-D


Care to elaborate on that?


I'm sure (I'd hope) it was meant as humor.


No, I really do know some people who'd like to pop in for tea  ;-)


I can see the scenario...

Lads: "Hi Fleecy, just thought we'd pop round for a cuppa!"

Fleecy: "Come in! Take a seat! I don't get many visitors..."

The lads sit down on Fleecy's red and white checked sofa...  

Fleecy: "I'll go make the tea... but first, can you give me $50?"

Lads: "What? $50 for a cup of tea?"

Fleecy "No, $50 for membership to my tea club! The tea is free.  It's just so that I know you're serious about drinking the tea, and so that I know how many cups to make."

Lads: "Not sure I like the sound of that..."

Fleecy: "It's great, really!, If you join now you will recieve a free T-shirt signifying your membership, regular newsletters updating you on the latest developments in tea technology, and a coupon entitling you to $50 off our new range of tea bags which may or may not be released at some as-yet undecided time in the future, maybe"

The lads grudgingly hand over $50 each...

Fleecy: "Thanks!"

Fleecy puts on his coat and heads for the door.

Lads: "Uh, Fleecy, where are you going?"

Fleecy: "I just have to pop out for a bit to pay some bills"

Lads:  "Where is our tea?"

Fleecy: "Oh, I don't actually make the tea myself - I let someone else take care of that."

Lads: "Well where is our coupon?"

Fleecy "Oh you don't get a coupon, I was just speaking figuratively"

Lads: "Well where's our T-shirts?"

Fleecy: "Uhh.. they'll be ready in a few weeks"

The lads get up and leave... no tea, no t-shirt, no coupon, and $50 poorer.

Fleecy smiles.

@Lando:

While thats funny, it is a little unfair, as Fleecy himself expressed concern over the coupon affair right from day one.

And no, i'm not an "AInc fanboy". I thought the coupon scheme was ludicrous, and so never bought one.


Hi xeron

Ok.  Sorry if I offended anyone - it was just a joke.  I hope that Fleecy will take it in the spirit it was intended.  I've got nothing against him personally

Yeah I remember it as being Alan who expressed concerns too.  Can't find any reference now though.
