Tales of P&B Past

Someone on Twitter is using a screenshot of a post by[mention=20881]Marshmallo[/mention] on this thread to take the piss out of XBL - truly fantastic to see one of the all-time great p&b weirdos getting a wider audience.

I seem to remember a poster bringing up a money making idea on some online bingo site. You put £10 deposit in and they upped it to 100 quid or something, then you just buy a shit tonne of bingo tickets. Some guys on here were cashing out over £200 if I remember right. 

Think it was a Falkirk fan who played for the P&B team that came out with his,,, Gaz I think. The same guy who discovered the 1p Ryanair flights. Had a few daytrips to London and Dublin with 4p coming out of my account!

The Russian mp3 music site was a superb find too. Saints1884 I think or someone like that posted a link and half of us downloaded thousands of songs for free. 

Putin probably used it to hack all our lives but f**k it, it was worth it.

This thread is absolutely golden.

Someone mentioned that they've been on this site for half of their life and it made me realise that it's nearly the same for me. I joined in October 2006 as a 14 year old, I hate to think how many hours I've spent on here in the 13 years since.

Aye, it was me. Good times. I ended up about £300 up.

My wife (well, she wasn't at the time) and I had a couple of 4p city breaks as well.

Where is the Northern Rock thread?

That was a great read.

Edit: From having a quick read through, it would appear that Granny Danger has been on a mini-dotting-spree of his own against VT. Not sure if that slipped under the radar or not.

As the Northern Rock thread has been closed, it's worth noting that the final compensation for shareholders post-nationalisation was - 0p.  So unless he cut his losses at any point Fast Action blew £75,000 and got f**k all.

It's like The Big Short in reverse.

Yeah, what say you to this sage advice you gave everyone on that thread, @Fast_Action
