Rachelswipe says: My niece - after months of begging - was finally allowed to get a hamster, and her grandfather was utterly horrified to learn that it had been called "Nipples", a pretty good name for a pet if you ask us. Alas, it was only the more mundane "Nibbles" - what have you misheard or misunderstood, with truly hilarious consequences?

No-one was even vaguely impressed. :(
In fact, it turned out that the actual level of wealth I had was completely irrelevant; what mattered was being a total douche bag about it.
Maybe someone here ought to learn this lesson.

He clearly boarded one of his own fleet of aircraft, which he bought to fly around his property portfolio and on which he's allowed to use wifi all the time, because the cabins are clad with special pizza-oven bricks so it doesn't interfere with the instruments or owt.

Yes, Albert's been shown to be more of a pitiful fantasist than we already knew, and it's clear that you are wetting yourself with glee over it. But that's only because of a quite disturbing level of creepy and obsessive stalking, which seems to be becoming your MO.
Take a look at yourself.
( , Tue 2 Sep 2014, 18:47, closed)

But hey ... if sending a single gaz message with a traceable link and relying on him being profoundly stupid counts as obsessive stalking in your books then I'll just have to live with the terrible shame of disapproval from a sock puppet. If ... if ... if I could just stop this sobbing ... I'd ... I'd cuddle my children. Who aren't imaginary. Or stuck in a shopping mall in Florida. Sob.

You've even managed to out creep Albert with your l33thax3r sleuthing "trace" on him. Quite what you pull out of the bag when your kids bring their schoolfriends round is anyone's guess mate, but I imagine it'll be cameras in the toilet at the very least.

if it wasn't for fine B3tans such as him going that extra yard we might have had to tolerate the usual QOTW drabness. It's Albert who honda accords the forum in the first place with unrelated lookatme, so I reckon saying that checking his IP location is stalky is a bit strong.

apart from the horrific sleazy old surveyor at the delano who was at a surveyors' conference and who was horrific and sleazy. he got talking to my friend about currency exchanges, oh great, now we're stuck with him. a bit later and a bit drunker, he's talking to my other friend about the upcoming election (this was 2008 so everyone was wondering if obama would get in). a lot later and a lot drunker, i somehow get him blabbering on about how he lost 200lbs and his wife still won't sleep with him, so he'd hired 2 hookers and shockingly they had drugged him and nicked his wallet and watch.
clearly having learned his lesson from this experience, he then asked me how much for "an english fourway" with us, offered $200 each (what a fucking insult), and then blurted out, word for word, "so do you girls shave your pussies? or is it true that all english girls are like sherwood forest down there?"
i hope albert enjoys this business trip more than that one...

He's either a genuine dullwitted property developer who holidays in a swamp. Or he's a deluded fantasist who genuinely wishes he was a dullwitted property developer who holidays in a swamp. Anything else is no fun at all.
