Revenge is getting better!!

I have just one a small spat I was having against our local dairy.

I am a member of a charoty organisation and we recently held a beer festival in our town. As part of the promotional aspects, I organised with the local dairy to deliver flyers for the beerfest ie the milkmen would deliver a flyer to every house in town they drop milk too.

Good idea? I thought so and happily negotiated a £100 fee with the dairy for this service.

Result, only about 200 of 5,500 leaflets gots delivered. Most of the milkmen either forgot or threw the leaflet en masse into the B1N.

So, luckily, the beerfest went well (Great sponsorship from some brewers did it).

But, I had to recourse to the dairy and say, I want £85 back plus a contribution to the £100 cost of printing the leaflets as we couldn't arrange for alternative deliveries cos the bloody milkmen had disposed of the flyer.

It has taken 2 weeks of increasingly vitriolic correspondence, but the threat to highlight the story in the local press has resulted in a cheque for £200 from the dairy, but to be fair, as they delivere 200 flyers, I am spending them a cheque for £7.20 as recompense for that...

Bastards!, the world is full of bastards.

And on a nicer note, I gave a chap a lift to the garage on Saturday when I passed him on the road when he was broken down. He was very grateful, and I didnt think anything further of it until he turned up my house on Sunday with a rather nice bottle of wine for me, and a cheque for £100 towards our minibus fund.

He said he felt that was the cost of a roadside recovery, shouldn't benefit from my kindness and wanted to donate the money to a good cause.

There is SOME DECENCY left on this planet, not much, you have to dig deep to find it but it is there.

Hey Boss, have you heard this one?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">So, [nodding towards the chaos centered on RD], what about his request for a security job?

Re: Ye Olde Phong\'s Head Cantina and Bierkeller - The rebirth
 

Rags can act as security for the franchise, if that is what you want Woundwort.

BUt keep in mind that Rags is to security what King Herod was to promoting the Bethlehem Playgroup and Toddlers Association

Are you sure you can take the risk?

Hmmmm, I am feeling nasty, where is Timstone when you need to shoot a red hot poker up someone's rear end??! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: Ye Olde Phong\'s Head Cantina and Bierkeller - The rebirth
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Actually, it was Raging Deadstar who asked for the job.

Of course, if I may make a suggestion, I got a great deal on some really nasty combat droids...

Re: Ye Olde Phong\'s Head Cantina and Bierkeller - The rebirth
 

Hey!! I'm not that bad! The only reason i assaulted rags was because i felt ev...he was posing a threat to the cantinas decoration by....ummmm...urinating in a pot plant in the corner! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Anyway if i'm elected for the job of security i promise to keep law and order to a minimum and assault rags at all possible moments for very petty laws http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Of course i will always take in the profit margin of such acts before acting, wouldn't want to get in trouble with the Cat! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Also i would hire my own staff (fully combat trained female bodyguards and bouncers) and would of course make sure the bosses have some very attractive female clone karate instructers who will protect and serve at every whim http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Well, I guess that settles that. I'd better be getting back to the site before that foreman droid starts getting delusions of grandeur.

[socco voce]...and I need to double-reinforce the defenses around the manager's office...

OK, I dont recall that the Cantina has ever had theme nights.

We are starting one right now. Tonight's party is themed on Ancient Greece.

I naturally, am dressed as Alexander the Great. The FBW's are all in skimpy togas, even Taz has a laurel leaf on.

Anyone else joining us? bring your own plates!
