To sell yourself out for that little money would be a shame, it would make you as bad as a scamming issan sex worker.

Noodles.

gotta agree wiv da man on this one!

^ Gonna be a close thing if you're planning on taking any of that money, DE. She's got to get the cheque, cash it & give it to you all in the next few days that unfortunately include a weekend...

Christ, how many times do I have to say this. Take the money. The only thing that counts is money. Wait for it.

Tell me about it

I fly out on the 29th

^

I'm being a good boy, Chintee.

I'll regret it later, I know.

^ You still coming out?

Does she know yet?

Either that or she's sussed you out...try mugging.

I don't think she'll mind as she's booked a business-class trip (3 grand!) to Australia & Hong Kong - without me.

I offered to drive her to the bingo hall tonight & pick up the cheque & she was like, "It's okay, I'll pick it up tomorrow".

She's doing a runner herself

Might be worth a try:

"Sweetie, before you leave on your wonderful holiday, I just want to tell you how much you have meant to me. Our time together has given me memories that I will carry to my grave, which will be sooner because I will be without you during your holiday.

I have always sensed that you are a kind and generous lady, and your earlier offer to give me half your bingo prize really, really moved me. [Try to lacrimate].

I wouldnt normally ask this of you, but since we will be apart very shortly, I hope you will not be upset if I ask to receive your generous gift today, or tomorrow at the latest.

You know I am a patient man, but there has been some bad news....I didn't want to upset you by telling you earlier...but since you will be leaving shortly....well, erm...I hope you will understand.

You see, my grandmother needs an operation...
and my sister's husband had a car accident, and will lose his job unless he can get his pickup fixed...
and we have a sick buffalo on the family farm...
