They did ask about all the Indian smelly sticks we were always burning. There's none so blind as those who won't see.

mind-blowing.

 

[IdleRich]

Had to put that money to.some real use before I smoked it all up. Bought two flats with what was left but it was decimated.
But really in my life the amount of money I've spent on smack is utterly obscene. Probably six figures.

sort of admirable in a way

 

[IdleRich]

But do I regret it, not really. For real those lost days in hotels doing nothing but getting fucked up were so beautiful.

I remember was my birthday and we ventured out bought a cake, the guy on the desk wouldn't let us take it to our room, I was thinking can't believe this is where you draw the line.

 

[IdleRich]

Speaking of cakes I remember when it was Liza's birthday and we bought this really expensive cake from Violet and then went down to stay in this beautiful hotel in Folkestone, but we were so high we left the cake on the train, so high she didn't even get annoyed, was amazing few days wandering around Folkestone totally off our tits staying in this suite that cost next to nothing cos it was out of season. I always think Folkestone is this amazing place but might be cos whenever we went there we were so fucking high could have had a great time anywhere.

But I should say that, great as it is, it can be a bit of a fucker to just stop doing heroin. You probably never heard about this but the withdrawal is kinda hard. I guess that's why I find it so easy to stop smoking cigarettes or whatever cos comparatively it's nothing.

In fact looking back at it now I was completely off the rails at that point, as well as buying insane amounts of drugs I was just ordering anything I wanted online, every day my parents were knocking on the door and we would have to hide the crack pipe so they could bring in an italian designer leather jacket or some other random thing the postman had just delivered, something i probably didn't remember ordering and it wouldn't even fit me.
I was way too immature to have that much money.

Are you more mature now at 50? Have you learned about prudence and temperance and modesty?

That's what the owls are for. Guardians. Sentries.

 

[yyaldrin]

still think it's insane how idlerich always colloquially mentions smoking crack or shooting heroine

Not even slightly

I've never shot anything, never will.

You are right in that Folkestone is a beautiful place if you can get there at the right time in Spring

Have never done heroin but best of luck on your endeavours regardless

It is a great place, been there several times in fact.

Just imagine how happy you made that man. He must of loved that mellow drive up to Wantage.

He's probably retired on the proceeds.

He was a funny guy, think he was into credit card fraud previously. He used to try and be really professional, always wearing a suit and sending out these texts saying "all my customers have a voucher for one free bag tonight only, limited to one bag per household".

When he first started selling (ie stole the numbers from his previous employer) he picked me up drove me around east London laying out his vision for the future and moaning about people phoning up going "what can I get for this drill I've stolen?".

He used to drive around in his business suit in this van disguised to look like it sold fried chicken.

He wanted to adopt a Chinese baby cos he thought it would be good at maths. He took his gf to Paris and I remember him saying "I wanna stay in a vintage house".

Think he's in jail now.
