A Dangerous Species
Beware of the Financial Advisor. It hangs around in ex-pat haunts such as Doha's Champion's Bar, listens in to conversations for hints of affluence, and ingratiates itself with unsuspecting individuals who might be looking to invest some hard-earned money. It is likely to use a pseudonym, like Decent Bloke, Helpful Guy or John Hunt. But what it is really trying to do is scam you with some dubious investment scheme Having received its commission, it won't want to know you any more.
I hadn't visited your blog in a while, and had drafted a response to this post to revisit it, just in case it didn't make sense...lo' and behold, it was far too long and nonsensical.
ReplyDeleteThe main gist of it was that for once, I think I deciphered the "code" of your post upon first reading.
From what I understand, the post carries a slightly negative undertone, concluding positively.
Clever, if I may say. How do you do it? That's your secret ;-) hehe.
Inspiring, if anything: not only the writing, but the tale, and what I interpret to be the 'resolve' of the writer. :)
Thanks i*maginate. I've been pretty quiet lately, for all sorts of reasons, but I intend to kick a bit more life into the Parnormal in the year ahead. Hope you don't mind me 'borrowing' your jpeg for your New Year greeting!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear we'll be reading more from you Paraglider! Bridget likes your style!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bridget. How come your profile doesn't link to your Diary? Playing hard to get?
ReplyDeleteSomething like that ha! ;) Nah, just got a tad weary of blog stalkers and wanted some privacy.
ReplyDeleteYou, however, would be a welcome visitor if you'd like access to Bridget's diary (I'd need your e-mail id to send you a read invite)
