VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Philip Banks

Yes, that's right! Exclusively for YOU Faffangelists on the VO-BB have agreed COMPLETELY without knowledge to solve ALL your problems so just ask away! ...

I'll start

Dear Faffer,

Whilst international barriers physically exist we are caught in an electronic trading war. Real exchange controls are now unworkable as "electronic currency" can be traded at the drop of the proverbial hat. In order to avoid wild movements in global markets would a return to the "gold standard" stabilise economies post the blips resulting from seeing how much a nation "has" as opposed to now seeing how much they can stick on their credit card?

Yours hedgingly

Dear Mr. Banks,

Whilst returning to the gold standard is most enticing, the future of gold is most disappointing; actually frightful. Asteroid and moon mining will soon bring countless tonnes of the AU element straight to terra firma, quadrupling our supply and devaluing that once precious commodity to the level of Silly Putty.

Just before the rockets go up and therefore the value of gold plummets I recommend divesting yourself of all your metal based assets and investing in gluten free Hot Pocket toaster sandwich manufacturers. Billions of us will soon be eating nothing but those tasty all-in-one comestibles and world hunger will be eliminated. We'll be rich I tell you.

Faffconomist Emeritus

Dear Lap-Dancer Extraordinaire,

Your particular geographic location and profession make this issue one of daily concern to you, but unfortunately one that's viewed as just a minor inconvenience to most of the audience here. Almost all are very happy with the folding greenstuff that slips conveniently into a sock garter or jock-strap. Having a slightly more international outlook than most, I can sympatise with your situation, and have often had to deal with the problem of what to do with Euros & Pounds. Thankfully my posing-pouch does not have to deal with additional strain of Lira nowadays, but certainly, £2 coins can be uncomfortable. Like many others in my position, I indulge in transatlantic banking with US and UK accounts that can accommodate most eventualities. It can be viewed as unfortunate in some respects, but many customers at the bar fall victim to the bouncer at the door who will take their money and convert it into the ubiquitous greenstuff. He makes more than I do and refuses to spread the wealth. Someone tried to solve the problem with BitCoins, but they don't seem to be taking off... partly because once stuffed into the boot-lace strap, they became somewhat akin to a dubious cheque from a creepy stranger. As for a return to the gold standard... well, gold would work nicely, but returning to the standard would just highlight how worthless these little green bits of paper really are... and no one can afford for that to happen!

No real help I'm afraid...

Mr. or Ms. Faffer,

In an attempt to have a fallback plan for my current voiceovering, I have been keeping turkeys. My question is, Do you know the best treatment for my recording area to keep the "gobbles" from coming through on my auditions and jobs.

If you can help me with an extremely low cost solution (I'm trying to save up for a Snowball microphone), there's some drumsticks in it for you.

Yours Truly,

J S "The warm and gooey voice" Gilbert

But, how high should the gate be so the turkeys can't get over the top? And should I padlock it? Some of those turkeys are smart enough to figure out how to open the latch.

dear j.s. gobbles,

don't forget, male turkeys generate a great deal of fan noise. the aforementioned gate, should handle most of it, though.

For the first time, Bish has written a post that makes considerably less sense to me than one of Philip's! Shocked

And furthermore:

Suddenly I have a craving for gold encrusted cranberry sauce.
Shocked
