Hello **Hippo** is looking for trust worthy Doper to help move us$800,000,000 out of Iropilistan and is willing to share 10% with you. This money is abtained legally from the government as her medical insurance is very very good. Please PM your bank details God bless you. I’m right, aren’t I? 😃 ---

Gee, I just checked this thread, curious as to why there were so many replies. (I was one the the Teeming Millions who had PM’ed her, and she’d told me what the favor was, so I really didn’t have any other reason to check the thread.) ☹ Sending healing vibes **Hippo** ’s way. ---

Thank you all for such warm replies. My Dad printed off this thread and took it into hospital to show me and it really cheered me up. I have been in intensive care so things weren’t great but I am home now and on the mend. Thank you, you are all very kind people. The favour is still happening so I hope you are all sitting on the edge of your seats in anticipation 😉 (Though I promise it really won’t seem that exciting after all this!!) ---
