Nice one Andy & Andy, muchas gracias Big Grin

Ok. The second jar is now full to bursting.

A 4-pinter originally purchased containing fine Cornish scrumpy. Now holding nothing but 20p's.

Sadly no contribution to a charity this time as I am still smarting from recently having to contribute to El Gordo's coffers in a rather large way... Eek

So, just for a large pat on the back and an emailed empty Fosters can.......

Have a guess.....


One Hell of a Large Wad! - Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man - 13-03-2007

El Gordo? What's EL Gordo?


One Hell of a Large Wad! - Seafront Plodder - 13-03-2007

Weelll....

It's more of a who? than a what?...although some might argue.

AKA Gordon Brown.....our Prime Minister in waiting. :BARF:

He currently holds the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer. His main role is to bleed the middle classes dry by taxing them till their pips squeak, so he can justify spending squillions on ........but I can't go on without crying. Sorry.


One Hell of a Large Wad! - Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man - 13-03-2007

Ah, I understand. We have one of those as well.

Um, I dunno. I'm not very good at these guessing things. I'll say 170 pounds, less tax.


One Hell of a Large Wad! - Seafront Plodder - 13-03-2007

With all due respect, I don't think you have one quite like ours. Sad Sad


One Hell of a Large Wad! - El Gordo - 14-03-2007

£562.40


One Hell of a Large Wad! - Sweder - 14-03-2007

2460 coins . . . £ 492 in cold cash.
Or 18 pints of Guinness in terms of pure volume.


One Hell of a Large Wad! - Ana - 14-03-2007

I say: 333 pounds, with taxes


One Hell of a Large Wad! - Ana - 15-03-2007

SP!

What kind of gift will I receive if I have guessed it?

Take into consideration that I count in Euro.

Perhaps could you send me a pair of Asic Kayanos? My size is 6.

Thank you in advance, you are very kind Smile


One Hell of a Large Wad! - Seafront Plodder - 20-03-2007

Counting has taken place.

And the winner is.....






















with uncanny accuracy...................
















sadly no Asic Kayanos (size 6) as no tax is due................Rolleyes













(another) drum foll for................














Ana Smile Smile Smile Smile










The final total was £334.40, and I can't believe she got so close unless she downloaded the pic and spent half the night counting the coins in view and multiplying by Pythagoras or something.

So a large pat on the back is winging its way to Spain. Oh yes, plus an empty Fosters can.


One Hell of a Large Wad! - Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man - 22-03-2007

Rigged. Must have been.:mad:




Give my regards to Mr. Brown.

Dear SP, as you can see I am a very intelligent girl... even if I was obligated to exchange all my calculus into Euro and pounds. Eek Evidentely, rates-exchanges oscilations gave the small mistake of 4.40 pounds, but I am sure that you will forgive meWink
I absolutely merit my price and I absolutely want my Acsis Kayanos,

but,

drum foll.....


another drum foll.........


I do not want a size 6.


drum foll....


Tell me please which is your own shoes size. This time, [SIZE="3"]I have a present for you, and you will use it[/SIZE]
