More donations

Regular (and I use that term very loosly) readers will recall my delight at receiving a cheque from our very own Neville Cheestring recently - as noted here.

Well, would you believe it, I received another cheque today - this time from WOP's No.1 (and, frankly, only) sports pundid, Kevin Ketley:

Am I once again delighted? Sadly, no.

My initial elation was shortlived when, on closer inspection, I discovered that Mr. Ketley 'forgot' to sign his cheque. The swine.

An innocent mistake? Pah! This is not the first time he's pulled such a stunt. On one occasion, back in mid 2007, having boasted of a win at the annual Pavement Crack Avoidance Agility Contest up at Dangle Yerbitsthen in Yorkshire, he 'donated' 43,000 pesetas to help start the ball rolling for the WOP International Hotel renovation.

Hmmm...

Something is starting to smell decidedly fishy around here - but then, that's probably just Mitch.

The World's Most Worthless Money

I recently received this most gracious donation from our regular contributor and benefactor, Neville Cheestring:

Well, you can imagine my delight - it's not often I get a fake cheque where such effort has been made to make it look half convincing - hey, it's even made of rubber! So, er... yeah. Cheers, Nev. I've got my eye on you, sunshine - and not the glass one, neither.

Sad thing is, I was actually toying with the idea of trying to cash it in at my local bank - just to see the expression on their faces. Hmmm... there's still time... shall I...?!

Anyway, on the subject of worthless money (ah, seamless!), this bank note is actually genuine:
