Farty Wankmitten would make a good name for someone playing a bot in a sitcom about MLMs.

Farty Wankmitten 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hint: the American actor he shares a surname with isn't called Danny Wankmitten...

Huns on the Run.

Starring Farty Wankmitten.

Imagine the marquees.

😂 Thank you! I'm really sorry if I'm being a bit thick but I can't work out his surname 🙈

Surname - you put them on your hands when it's cold with an "r" on the end

Oh God I was being thick 🙈 Thank you!

@acatcalledjohn

@CajunJustice his name isn’t Farty Handwarmer or Farty Muffr either.

Sleaze - if you want to create a professional looking website then learn how to spell the plural of hero.

And you're not a hero. You're a twat.

Aqueous....Sleaze is such a tit. I don't know how much water he contains but I should think he's mainly filled with hot air.

I think aqueous refers to his brain. The rest of him is full of shit.

I'm after your help and knowledge. I've been approached to join an on-line business group. It was a direct contact as they had a 'need for some-one local with my consultancy skills'. I said sure, thinking why not - potential for extra business. I haven't gone along yet and struggling to find reviews but I now suspect they have local people setting up groups and then selling business courses in the guise of local networking. Is this a new type of mlm? Its Integrus Global.
Any knowledge? I'm of a mind to log in once, but then decline to join. I can resist hard sell but this might be an honest enquiry.

Ah, it becomes clearer, I've just been invited as a visitor to a BNI chapter meeting, still a bit cloak and dagger and the person who invited me didn't mention it and I wont be joining the chapter! You guys are brilliant by the way, doing your best to inform on the pitfalls and downfalls of mlm!

Integrus doesn't appear to be MLM, but it reads a bit like floaty mumbo jumbo with all their "thinking in colours" talk. I don't do fluffy chat though; direct approaches suit me more so perhaps I am being unfair.

I can imagine their methods suiting MLM, however.

Yawn has been creating new adverts. Her attempt to bastardise the coca cola Xmas truck is truly hilarious. 😂😂😂😂😂

@Lovetoridemybicycle - BNI is not an MLM, hoever, it only suits a particular type of person.

I for one did not get on with it, way too formal, I prefer a more modern approach to networking.

There are strict rules, and you have ot stand by certain requirments. One of which, is bringing a guest, or two internal referrals a week. This could be the reason for the message

Thank you, I think I'm too informal and sooo much not into fluffy chat too. Certainly not willing to pay for it! I'm also not into company expansion, I have a work to live attitude and enough word of mouth referrals for that. At least I know what I would be walking into now.
Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Our local BNI meet at 6am which has always put me off!! Plus it sounds really pushy

Hi all, I hope this comment is allowed here. Just to let you know a petition has been posted on the MN petitions board, about MLMs.

There is absolutely no way that Sleaze's "friend" was "handcuffed and forcibly tested for Covid-19" by the Police. Absolutely no way at all!

Hello @Gettingthrough2020 I can’t find the Petitions Board - it’s been a long day and I need brain implants. Please could you link the Petition here?

We're not allowed to post links to petitions here.

Okay, where do I find the petitions board?

I've sent you a PM.

@Sforsh49 - surely all he had to do was shout "I do no aqueous!" and invoke his rights as a Free Born Englishman under Common Law, and the cops would have backed down, apologised and joined his Crypto Ponzi scheme crusade?
