752.0. "Billy Bargain alert!!" by KERNEL::BINGHAMK (I didn't do it.......Honest!!) Mon Apr 25 1994 13:19

         
                      Hello Fellow Basingstokians



 While out shopping in our fabulous "Basingstoke the whole new shopping 
    experience" I stumbled upon Miss Selfridge, and promptly bought
       several items, ammounting to around 25 quid. I then was eligible
           to enter a free draw to get some goodies and received 20 pounds 
                worth of BSM driving vouchers.

 At first sight I though, WOW what a Billy Bargain, but then realised that
   I did not have need of these vouchers since I had indeed passed my
      driving test some 8 months back.


 So, I am wondering who would like these marvellous vouchers for their
      child, niece, cousin, nephew, mother, father, brother, sister
        uncle, aunt, granda, grandma, wife, husband, and all the other
           wonderful relatives that you just cannot choose!!


Please mail me on the above left handed sort of mail address or call me
   as Blondie once said on "7833 3817" ASAP to get this wonderful
      bargain.

                  Yours bargainly

                    Kendra Bingham

Oliver! Have you thought of buying anything from Miss Selfridge
lately? (smiley face thingy)

Kendra, I'd like them for my daughter - will they still be valid 
in 15 years time?

    Ian! They only last till the end of the year I'm afraid!
    
    Anyway Oli has driving lessons with another firm. These are for the
    first load of lessons only.

    Ungrateful bunch...
    
    
    
    
    I'd take them Ken, but I don't know anyone that needs them...
752.10COMICS::FISCHERLife's a big banana sandwichWed Apr 27 1994 14:152
I'd have them, but I've been driving since I was 17 so 
I don't need them.
752.11LARVAE::BEALESecurity is a Thumb and a Blanket...Wed Apr 27 1994 14:514
    OK - to solve the problem send them to ME!!! I know a 17 year old that
    could use them.

    I can't understand why Oliver isn't interested in following this up.
    After all hes made it clear in this conference that he wants
    some driving lessons.

What, you mean you didn't understand Oliver's last reply?
752.16COMICS::FISCHERLife's a big banana sandwichThu Apr 28 1994 11:133
Oliver,

Are you going to finish that last sentence off then?
752.17V3.0KERNEL::BOWEOTelepathy means never having to say...Thu Apr 28 1994 11:368
I might, oh ok them here goes:

I suspect there would be a catch with these vouchers.
The common catch is when booking a block of ten lessons and seeing as BSM
lessons run to about �15-�16 each, I would be reluctant to take them up on the
offer as I am already taking lessons with a reputable Instructor.

    >I'd have them, but I've been driving since I was 17 so
    >I don't need them.
    
    I usually stop driving and get out when I arrive at my destination.
752.19COMICS::FISCHERLife's a big banana sandwichThu Apr 28 1994 12:148
So what's the catch? I still don't understand.

and as for driving continuously for 10 years.... I have
developed this ingeneous technique for refuelling without 
stopping - I based it on the technique used by fighter
planes. 

I'm hoping to get some exposure on Tomorrow's World.

How do you get your car into the building?
And have you an ingenous device for power/data connections for your Workstation?

    It's on too early in the evening for that, try Eurotrash, there's
    plenty of exposure there.  However, some cool dude did manage to say
    "hot-s**t Mac" on "The Net" last night and that was on before the 9
    o'clock watershed.

    "The Net" Did that start last night, or has it been going for a while?
    
    Oh, if you spell it like this, you get loadsa vowels, Injeanieous

apart from my Marstons Pedigree hardly having a head and the *bright* lights its
an OK pub.
