I'm doing some research of Derrin Browne : Mind Control.

Haha I WISH I had a banknote in my pocket.

This is going to turn out to be as ill-advised as writing back to all those Nigerians wanting to use your bank account for 100% safe transactions, I reckon. Pete is going to get rich somehow.

if we discover a match in serial nos. then we'll know there's something funny going on.

i learnt today that they are phasing out the Dickens tenners. quite right too - no-one who invents a character caled Mrs Todger deserves to have their mugshot on the cirrency of the realm.

Chris barrus is most blinging on ILE, as demonstrated by his fat wad.

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 7 June 2003 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Barrus is no stranger to the bling.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 7 June 2003 17:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a $20, but it is owed to a friend I'll see later today.

Andrew Jackson on the front (I'm still not used to the bills with the big heads), BG19577572A

I have a $10 bill, CK 21085769 A, with Alexander Hamilton on front (died at the hand of Aaron Burr!), U.S. Treasury Building on back, has codes B2, B9 FW, and K11 and 13 on it as well. This will be redeemed for 3 pints of whatever's on special tonight.

OK, I give up... Can anyone tell this old fart WTF "bling" is?

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Sunday, 8 June 2003 07:27 (twenty-two years ago)

bling = rich (because 'bling' is the sound shiny stuff makes)

― Millar (Millar), Sunday, 8 June 2003 07:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you!

Bling songified:

Buy me diamonds and rubies
I'm crazy bout Bentley's
Gucci dresses and dropped up compressors
Wine me and dine me
Bring those platinum rings
Those are a few of our favourite things

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 8 June 2003 08:59 (twenty-two years ago)

the 'kompressor' referred to in those lyrics is the Benz model I assume

― Millar (Millar), Sunday, 8 June 2003 09:02 (twenty-two years ago)

The one an only, the only other production car I can think of with a supercharger is the mini cooper S, and that pseudo british so its a supercharger not a kompressor.

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 8 June 2003 09:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Its also interesting that the kompressors are far from the top model in any benz range.
Far from maximum bling

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 8 June 2003 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

i first heard 'bling' on ilx. I've heard it in lots of places since!

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 9 June 2003 11:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah but Bling isn't just about being expensive. Its about ostentatioun - so a car that goes boom is better than a roller.

Corvoissier is a bling brandy, despite being a pretty cheap one (etc etc)
