Thats it, which one do you think I should go for to keep my dad happy for a while?

Your dad took HIS card off you? What were you doing? abusing it?

I can't believe my dad can treat me like this.

You know every time, I do something, I never get praised for it, but if I do something wrong, I get a lecture as if I've murdered someone. I don't see the point to working, I really don't I mean what the hell is he going to do. He is going to die you can't exactly take money to your grave. Just spend it I say.

For himself he buys all sorts so things. And I only want a decent car a golf R32. Why doesn't he just buy me it?

Its like going to the beach and not taking a dip in the sea... I mean what was the point of wasting energy going to the sea then?

Am fucking pissed off. Am skint... I need to see someone. And he can't do this to me like right now. When I had something planned.

Man sometimes I wish I had my mates dad as my dad. My dad never lets me do anything. he doesn't even let me go to Dubai! or Italy. Am not even allowed out of England. I'm being oppressed here, I don't have no freedom.

And ontop of that I now have to get a job. And he will not even praise me for it.

Your dad took HIS card off you? What were you doing? abusing it?


You know what they did. The barred the credit card cos I had gone over £10,000 in less then a week. So I went down to the bank to speak to the manger. And he said he can't discuss this with me. Cos its not my card. And I am like wtf? its my dad its his money what the fuck give me the money. I am his son. So I called my dad up... and my dad spoke to the guy over the phone. And he told my dad that he had to come down. So my dad came down and sorted it out. And he said this is the last time. He gave me some money and thats it.

probably 'over the counter' or something.

probably 'over the counter' or something.

Yeah. Duhhh I am so thick. Its an acronym.

bacardi breezers are known to kill off brain cells. :p

Its hard looking for a job on the net. You get side tracked by porn.

Set up your own company. Then you can hire someone to do the work.

Set up your own company. Then you can hire someone to do the work.

Selling what?

I can get the money. For sure.

OTC as spurious said means over the counter (non-prescription) medecines.

You spent over £10000 in a week!:eek: You are lucky your father didn't beat the shite out of you as well. You are living off his money and obviously in a sort of fantasy land. Your father wants you to be responsible, he's not doing your character any favours by allowing you to live like that. If you are broke go return some of the £10000 worth of stuff you bought.

PS welcome to the working week (http://www.last.fm/music/Elvis+Costello/_/Welcome+to+the+Working+Week)

Sell something what people think they need.

oh boo hoo, poor little muslim. your dad never lets you spend more than 10,000 dollars in a week. he never pays for you to go to foreign countries. your life must be a living hell...

:rolleyes:

some people are just spoiled and ungrateful. I'm sorry your parents failed in raising you.

Roy £10000 is more like $18000 youch!

Roy £10000 is more like $18000 youch!

right, my mistake. makes it even worse. i would be extremely happy if my parents just gave me 18000 dollars ever.

Muslim,

I hope you had the opportunity to earn a college degree. Without it I suspect your first job might be akin to the U.S. minimum wage equivelant.

I think California miminum wage is $6.50 / hr (I could be wrong). For working full time for a year in such a job you would earn:

6.5 (wage) * 8 (hours per day) * 5 (days a week) * 52 (weeks per year) * .65 (~35% tax witholdings) * .5555555~ (rough conversion to your currency) = £4882 per year.

This means it would take over 2 years to earn £10000. Consequently the average American earns $30,000 a year (~£16666 / year ).

To be able to spend £10000 / week (with no savings and with taxes pre-taken out ala 35%) would require an annual salary in the U.S. of $1,440,000 / year (~£800,000 / year).

Frankly, Muslim, I'm glad you're getting a job. Maybe you'll develop a work-ethic, and maybe become more responsible in life. Not to mention, you'll learn the value of money, so you'll be less likely to throw it all away on Bacardi Breezers.

My parents don't give me any money, except in emergencies, when I actually [/i]need[i] it. Because of this, I've been working since I was 17. Now I'm a full time student, but I still have to work a job if I want any money. Muslim, you should be grateful for what you take for granted.

My dads taken his credit card off me. And is tell me to get a job, he said I need to EARN money from now on.
I give you a week.

I wouldn't recommend the Body Shop job. I think you'll be shocked at how mucht he insurance premiums, etc, are. You'll do tons of travelling, dole out lots of sample, and make very little w/o working a TON of hours.

In most nations, almost anyone can sell over the counter drugs w/o certifications or special degrees/lisences. That one may be possible, by why lie to get the job? You don't have experience, and retail is a HELL of a lot harder than you seem to expect it to be.

The 1-3 day-a-week shop assistant jobs should like great starter positions. On the job training, simple responsibilities, limited work hours. how much per hour are each of them paying?

How do you spend 18000 dollars in a week? Unless your a woman spending frivolously in coutour shops? hookers, drugs? Eating at five star restaurants morning, noon, and night? Buying everyone drinks and food while partying 24/7? I can understand spending that amount in a month but a week? Heck, you could have gone out of the country and partied with that too.

Jesus! Not another penis compensatory story from 'alcohol free' bacardi breezer man. Why would someone so rich and sex weary wish to brag so much to a bunch of scientists over the internet? This guy seriously cant open his mouth without a deluge of bull defecation accompanying.

I haven't been on a holiday for over 10 years and I survive on less than £10,000 a year. I am happy with my life - I often feel very fortunate in comparison to the majority of the worlds population who have difficulty finding food and water.
People I know who have a higher income often seem less happy.
Try zen...

Last month Muslim told us his dad had bought him a house for him to 'do up', sell and make a profit of $36,000, and he got double lucky because he also had outrageous sex with his new neighbour's wife. Now he tells us that he blew a small fortune in a week using his dad'a credit card and that he must find a part time job. He is also supposedly at university and is actively asking posters here to summarise a whole subject for him because he just never bothered to learn any of it. Is this the ultimate son from hell, or is he just the ultimate liar?

He didn't. He spent £10,000.

No, he made £20,000 if I remember correctly.

Well thats good then! If my calculatoralations are correctified he should have enough for two whole weeks of bacardi breezers and coco channel for men hout couture, when he sells. Certainly not bad small change for the average Hugh Hefner aspirer.

I think you're telling porkies, Muslim.

I'd find it hard to spend £10,000 in a week. I'm sure I could manage it, but jesus. You could have a year long round the world trip for £10k. You could probably buy a high mileage R32 for a little over £10k. You could put down the money as a deposit and get a £200k mortgage.

I really want a GPS that costs £200, but I can't justify it. I just don't have the money.

For the simple fathomable reason of making it easier to understand for people who use dollars exactly how much he was talking about ;)

How much is that in Euros then? ;)

Off the top of my head like 15,077.32
or
2,369,817.82 Japanese Yen
or
865,987.41 Indian Rupees
or
25,328.15 Austrailian dollars
or
685,461.06 Thai Bhat
Ok now I'm done doing currency conversion off the cuff.

How much in Norwegian virgins?

There are none, they don't exist.

Drugs, Cars, friends, food, hotels, drinks (Cristell), women, shopping, parking tickets.

I know, I could have gone to Spain. But my dumb friend made me spend £3,600 on a escort! I am still pissed about that.

I have money in my savings fund. But my dad would kill me if I touched that.

If you spent 500 quid on a bottle of Cristal in a hotel, I'm sure you'd remember the correct spelling. 22,000 Argentinian Pesos on an escort? Who was it, fucking Jemma Jameson?

I challenge you to give us a breakdown of your 10 grand spend, I bet you can't, because you're a liar.

Its wasen't in a hotel and it wasen't one bottle. It was 5!

Its was called Cristel rose I think. It was about £340 a bottle. I bet I can if I really wanted to. But I have better things to do. then to sit around and post on a forum all day long. I have life off this forum.

Just tell me one thing, I'm po and i've never tasted cristal, Is it worth the money you spent? I can only afford korbel.

Also, do you spend five-hundred dollars for a t-shirt? I don't think I ever would even if i could afford it because i think it ethically wrong by making the bastard rich for the same crap another sells for fifty times less.

I'd be happy if i could buy the whole esprit collection.

I can't do that. And not only because I have no credit card. I actually have a debit card, which works the same as a credit card, but that's beside the point.

I will, however, point you to either my PayPal account or my e-gold account.

Except 1 pound in the UK buys about 1 dollar buys in the US.
You get the same quality/quanitity of goods for spending an equal amount of pounds as you do dollars, if you're in the UK or US, respectively.

At least in my experience.

I don't think so, what does a pint cost at a typical bar in the UK as opposed to the US. I use beer as an example as it is the only true measure of the cost of living.

you know dipshit for that 10k you spent you could have bought yourself a decent golf R32 look-a-like http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-2-8-V6-4MOTION-BLACK-3DR-BLACK-R32_W0QQitemZ320078260381QQihZ011QQcategoryZ9873QQ rdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I was using food.

What the fuck good does food do anyone get realistic man!

In Mazloos hierarchy food comes long after beer in the pyramid.

I believe this picture illustrates the lengths to which people will go to get a beer proving it is more important.

This was a random test performed by scientists and we all failed, even the old guy who looks like he could be your grandfather(except for the stupid lederhosen) !

What the fuck good does food do anyone get realistic man!

Where does weed rank?

I think it's right after donuts but don't quote me on that.

We still don't know how much a pint costs in either, USA or UK. So how much does it cost then?

In Cyprus, a pint in a pub costs between 1.25 and 1.50 pounds. Today I bought a 24x 330ml crate of Imported Carlsberg for 7.99 from a supermarket. The current exchange rate makes this about US$18 or 9.50 UK pounds.

It depends what kind of pub, if it's happy hour, etc.

Generally I'd say about £2.30 for a bog standard pint - carlsberg, tennents, etc.

I think the pound = dollar thing is pretty true, although recently things in the US seem to have been getting cheaper.

An example - I've been looking at handheld GPSr's recently.

In the UK a magellan eXplorist 500 - RRP £350 - cheapest shop (not ebay, etc) £270
In the US - RRP can't find it anywhere =/ - cheapest shop $165

Tablarddim here in Norway I would have to pay about $50 for 24 x 33cl carlsbergs:eek: but if I drive 20mins to Sweden the same costs $17

Tallinn's quite a funny place to visit. Watching all the Finns stocking up on booze.

In finland a pint of beer in the bar will set you back 2.5-5 euro depending on the sleeziness/location of the bar. Standard price in a standard bar is 3.5-4.5 euro. In nightclubs etc the price of a pint of beer isn't really much higher than in regular bars unlike some countries.

If you go to Helsinki you would be adviced to visit Kallio and specifically the more sleezy part, although Kallio is becoming so trendy it is becoming unsleezed. Although it is filled with regular bars too you can still find a sleezy bar where you can drink 'cheap'.

But then again you get used to ordering a pint of beer, slamming 5 euro on the table and get a small coin back.

In the supermarket you have to shop around a bit.

In Prisma you get a crate of 24 bottles (33cl) of Koff for 15.90€

Tablarddim here in Norway I would have to pay about $50 for 24 x 33cl carlsbergs:eek: but if I drive 20mins to Sweden the same costs $17How interconnected is the transportation system for a foreigner to get around in Norway? If I landed in Oslo do you think I'd be able to take a bus to say, Ringsaker without knowing any Norwegian?

If I landed in Oslo do you think I'd be able to take a bus to say, Ringsaker without knowing any Norwegian? Do most Norwegians speak some English?

From what I hear, connections are great throughout Europe. And something one acquaintance of mine told me (dunno if it's really true): The smaller the country, the more likely they'll learn English, because they figure it's highly unlikely anyone will learn their small little language. I don't know how this would apply for Norway.

But either way, I would take the common courtesy of learning some primitive Norwegian, such as "Hello", "Excuse me, I don't speak Norwegian well", and "One beer, please".

Tallinn's quite a funny place to visit. Watching all the Finns stocking up on booze.


It's similar here with Stromstad Sweden(where they have the nearest wine and spirits shop) if you go in there on the weekend or a holiday all you hear is norweigan get there too late and you may find your favorites sold out.

Valich;
The public transport system is very good and just about everybody speaks english. I got around like that at first and I have an Austrailian friend who still does even after being here 6 years.

Anywhere between £1.80-£2.40 up here in the grim North. Don't know what all them fancy London types pay - probably around £300, the mugs.

If you go to Helsinki you would be adviced to visit Kallio and specifically the more sleezy part, although Kallio is becoming so trendy it is becoming unsleezed. Although it is filled with regular bars too you can still find a sleezy bar where you can drink 'cheap'.
By sleezy do you mean authentic? Have they all got big beards and if I buy them a pint will they tell me all about the sea and what a cruel mistress she is?

Well all we need is the current avg price for a pint in the US. When I was bartending in Philadelphia back in 95 a pint was about $2.75-4.00 depending on the brew and the bar. Haven't been to a bar in the US in 6-7 years

By sleezy do you mean authentic? Have they all got big beards and if I buy them a pint will they tell me all about the sea and what a cruel mistress she is?

Yes, authentic. Local drunks, struggling arty types, rockers, and trendy hip people like me.

Our more authentic establishments are filled with stabby-looking, drug-crazed, criminal psychopaths who want to chat with you about the possibility of bottling you over the head and breaking your jaw because you were staring at their girlfriend (you weren't).

Is this also the case in Finland?

No, then you have to go to Kotka.
