Of course...there are people who simply bung the judge £5000 :o) lol
(if you do this, you should anchor the judge as you hand over the

the judge will think he/she has already been paid :o) - this is
standard stuff lol :o))))
oh you should add an "ecology check"....in other words....check no
one is around as you do the deal :o)
Terry nlp (naughty little people ) :oP
