Got the Bar, got the Car, but forgot the MB ticket

[Arnie]

Can anyone help a Maison Blanche regular?  Due to pressures of work, have so far failed to sort my camping pass.

Copious amounts of quality grog and masses of dead pig (including local gourmet favourite gritty sausages) will also be made available for the decent chap who can help.

Here's to a large one.

Still looking.....surely someone out there must be desperate to get rid of a Maison Blanche?

surely someone out there must be desperate to get rid of a Maison Blanche?  

Is this a joke ??

[Arnie]

Thanks Kpy, do you refer to my comment, or the picture??!!

[Kpy]

I'd be glad to help you Arnie. Yes I have MB tickets. No I am not desperate to get rid of them.
Sadly, "surely someone out there must be desperate to get rid of a Maison Blanche?" (there are other places where you can get MB tickets at inflated prices) shows what a shame it is that you put your act together so late. No one here is desparate to get rid of a Maison Blanche camping ticket. Hardly the way to go begging .................
Yes the car is mine.

[Arnie]

Yes it was intended as a joke, and yes I am aware of the ticket situation, having been an MB regular for some 9 years so far.  As a newbie, looks like my attempt at humour has unintentionally struck a sensitive chord?

Lol Arnie - it seems to happen quite often !!

I have a nasty inflammation that I'd like to get rid of, if that's any help?

Not exactly a polite reply to a genuine post, shame about the car

Why?

[Fran]

indeed...why the angry faces?     -  

[garystout]

The original post was a request  for help, not a rather negative response, thus  

[Fran]

Ahh - so its not about the car!

Humour doesnt seem to translate well in forums it seems -

My sense of humour also seems to have fallen on stony ground

[Fran]

LOL - serious debate only from now on please Mr Stout
