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! 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Fast Action managed to get back on his feet and made extensive investments in Rangers FC, Farepak Christmas hampers and Thomas Cook. His is a long term game. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I remember the NR thread as it happened. It seems to be before my joining date.

Shandon Par Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 The thread should take a moment to thank @throbber for introducing us to the past tense of screenshot in 2016. Not sure if screenshat ever made it into the dictionary though. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember that one as well, think we might have had this scenario twice now. Think Irons daughter got involved when he was the Morton Manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember if it was through P&B or fought through Facebook (and reported on here) though. My gut feeling is the latter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
