Default Jim, Thank You So Much!!!

It could only be through the efforts of our magnificent Geordie Policeman (though what influence he has on the London force I can't imagine), but in spite of the current unrest they've decided to make me the recipient of probably more money than they even have!

Could it be impounded drug money? Confiscated car sales? Mob payoffs? I don't know, but I am grateful and anxiously awaiting my newfound fortune.

Thank you, London PD!!!

Dang it, Grant! You said you burned those pictures! And after all the blackmail money I paid you. That's 32 cents I'll never see again!

As for the message, a few years ago I got one from our own FBI. I think when they saw my bank account they died laughing.

The truly funny thing is that I've never seen that picture before, though seeing it now I remember it being taken. I wonder how many other pictures there are of that meeting which I don't have copies of.

I told you 'knowing people in high places' could sometimes be of great benefit

You should be grateful you weren't sleeping in the same room as TGW....you've seen some of the photographic evidence
