I wish I knew someone "brilliant". Just seems a strange word to use man to
another man, though I could be wrong about that. Is he your supervisor?.

I wish I knew of people who threw parties, I assumed we would all pay, then they
paid the bill. All the parties I ever go to it's known beforehand who's footing
the bill. $900 + tax + tip = $1100 or so. Lucky he don't party with 40 of my
friends as the bill would have been minimum $2,200. For 40 people only $900 food
and drink, man only $22.50 each you'll have to show me this restaurant either
that or you all can't drink too much.

As requested by a number of persons, Mogens I recall even offered to host the
posting of the receipts. People just want to see fairness and right now I think
most of CCC just see Pete being ripped.

Neither can I. Which is why showing the proof of receipt is important.
Pete cannot show he didn't get it. A receipt can easily be obtained from any
carrier which would prove who signed for it. I have never seen any statement of
who signed the alledged receipt only that one exists.
