I was offered a 100 trillion dollar note when I was there , bloke told me they were rare and wanted $30 for it , he kind weakened his case when he had about 309 of them in his possession I’ve seen them on eBay for about £3 so glad I didn’t buy one , even though the novelty value of having one was tempting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I recently opened an old sweets tin and found a stash of Maltese Lira, notes and coins. Plus 3 Oyster cards and a blackberry. I don’t remember being a spy, but all the evidence is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s always a tricky one to answer that is , I got asked it once and said No , to which the person who asked me said “ only a spy would deny being a spy , therefore you must be one “ Presumably , had I said Yes , that would also have made me a spy kinda know how witches felt in medieval times now Edited May 23, 2020 by tonyh29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very early on in the conversation they asked me and my boss if we were spies! I mean, we all just laughed and didn’t really answer and they didn’t look for an answer. Then it got really weird, meeting started in a hotel lobby. Then they wanted to split in to two meetings. My half of the meeting was continued whilst walking around some gardens, my boss, he literally got driven off in a big Mercedes and they had their meeting just driving around. Absolutely nothing weird about that at all. We both agreed it was actually just an attempt to psych us out or put us on the wrong foot when discussing fees.

foreveryoung Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Do cigarette companies have marketing departments? Do they have sales people? I mean how would they work out monthly budgets, they cant really force retailers to buy any more than they really need, an they can hardly put them on sale.

There's always a couple of 10/10 wb's in the malls offering you to try Marlboro. Then there the eCig stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I used to wonder if humans lived for hundreds of millons of years but our brains stayed healthy for the whole time, how long would it take before we started completely forgettng whole periods of our lives.

There's a science fiction story ("The End of Summer" by Algis Budrys) that is based on that very idea. It was written in 1954, so the technology predictions are a bit quaint, but the basic idea is that your memories would have to be contained in computer storage, and periodically re-uploaded into your brain. I happened to read it last month. I had first read it years ago, but appropriately enough, I'd completely forgotten it.
