Help 3 Days to get to London and no CA$H

[fono22]

Fellow Jemmers!!!


I need your help.

I am from New Zealand, but basically about two years ago I met a Finnish girl in Australia. She got pregnant and now here I am in Oulu, Finland with a beautiful 10 month old daugther (who is the love of my life). Problem is, I had to leave all my family, friends, possesions and mother tongue behind as Finland is quite a hop, skip and jump from New Zealand (only Greenland or Iceland could be further away without going igloo styles)

Anyway, the point is... I found out that my best buddy from New Zealand is going to be in London during Easter (who I haven't seen for 2 years) and he decided to tell me this TODAY! (Typical Kiwis just don't have a clue about organisation). I have been really homesick over the last year and a half and I have been quite depressed (My Parents and siblings are still saving to come and see my daughter for the first time).

Seeing my friend in London would friggin fantastic... and I'm willing to get Jemsite.com tattooed on my backside to get there. What I need is your suggestions for making a quick buck.... I don't want to scam anyone and I don't want to do anything illegal. Apart from that I'm open to anything.

I'm going to have to make around €500 ( I know this is a long shot, but I have to try to get there, it will mean so much to me)

Thanks guys in advance, and sorry if I've opened a dead can of stinking worms.

I don't mean to sorta kick a man whilst he's down, but do you have any guitars you could sell?

Have a go busking - just make sure you do it before you sell your guitar

Good luck

Good point, frost bite in your fingers would not be a good idea

All I can suggest is think of something you can sell quickly

Is prostitution illegal in Finland ? Only an idea ...

Busking is standing on a street corner playing music and hoping people give you some money

Whilst kids in tracksuit bottoms take the piss out of you whilst they eat a Greggs meat and potato pasty.

I'd hold on until you can afford it and meet him somewhere else, because it's no fun going somewhere and not having the cash to do stuff. But I guess you want to see him pretty bad so it's not that easy.

Or your mate could look for a cheap flight from London and go to visit you.

Ok this is what you are going to do. I saw it on the Simpson's and it should work. When your friend gets to London he is going to go to the power plant and spill his coffee on the console for the power plant. he will then order a replacement one from Findland. You need to get to the factory where the replacement is, get in the box with the console and be shipped to London. Easy as 1,2,3. Your friend receives the order in London, lets you out of the box. You guys hang out for a few days, then he ships you back. hope this works as well as it did for Bart and Homer. chef21
