Anyone who asks money in shags usually get one straight answer from me, "You should have told me in advance to bring you some, otherwise I haven't budgeted for you". It may sound rude but it works, as most of the young chaps who ask for money end up spending it on cheap alcohol anyway. As for the old, I always try and give them non-monetary solutions to their problems.Ig-know-ranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587718036304173434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-1161709435561337342006-10-24T20:03:00.000+03:002006-10-24T20:03:00.000+03:004,000 Cash handoutsSeems you covered all bases!Gre...<I>4,000 Cash handouts</I><BR/>Seems you covered all bases!Great eyeopening post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-1161703302584612652006-10-24T18:21:00.000+03:002006-10-24T18:21:00.000+03:00Odegle: Hoping for a railways revival - & when you...Odegle: Hoping for a railways revival - & when you look at the daily bus and lorry traffic, there must be a niche for them <BR/><BR/>Will look at Safaricom next month, thanks for the tip<BR/><BR/>Ntwiga: Thanks, unexpected car costs are never factored in - lucky for you that you were close to a help station<BR/><BR/>egm: stealth mode rules<BR/><BR/>Afromusing: Obsevred TM a few times in Eld, and he's the master of stealth mode!bankelelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180926084939364063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-1161699191231974272006-10-24T17:13:00.000+03:002006-10-24T17:13:00.000+03:00Ditto Steve, very nice post...@egm lol @ stealth m...Ditto Steve, very nice post...<BR/><BR/>@egm lol @ stealth mode! <BR/><BR/>Quite eyeopening.Afromusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053160240579454113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-1161698401203351532006-10-24T17:00:00.000+03:002006-10-24T17:00:00.000+03:00Eye opening post for sure.

Whenever I come home, the only people that know I am doing so are my immediate family and 1 or 2 very close friends.

As for the cyber, why dont you get a laptop and edge card from safaricom with that you can browse anytime anywhere and you will also love the privacy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
