Apparently early Pro-ers got a couple of freebie Pro Invites for giving away when Yahoo ate Flickr, and i just learned they all expire today (15th July)

Does any iamcaler have one spare they'd consider lobbing at me? i'm still running off savings, you see, so discretionary expenditure err isn't

For fucks sake, you idiot. I had one going spare until about 5 hours ago. I gave one to Uncle Moc, and decided that I was going to lose the other if I didn't get rid of it ( I was unsure when the deadline in the US hit here) so I gave it to the first chick I could find on there that had a picture of her nawks posted.

Ho hum.

Sounds entirely reasonable.

sorry, guess my mind-reading's not what it was.
bugger.
don't suppose anyone else...?

hey, re "idiot" -- if you had one spare, why didn't you mention here? eh? eh?

Cos I was going to try and gain sexual favours with it. I've had everyone elligible on here.

Oh no you haven't..... ooops, I forgot I'm not elligble.

If I had known there were pro accounts floating about I would have gone hunting/begging.
Posted by Saltation_DUPE1, around 16th July 2005:

Posted by Brock, around 17th July 2005:
 
You wouldn't have got one anyway, Alfie. Cos you're a cunt.

"You have a Flickr Pro Account"
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Another fine example of the saying
"It's not what you know, it's who you know"
(although Cal probably had to know some things in order to actually get the job at ludicorp in the first place)

Thank you Mr Cal, you are a true gent.
*Doffs cap*

So this is the thread where we all beg Cal for handouts? It's only $25/yr., though. C'mon, guys...
Posted by ellipse, around 18th July 2005:
 
to be fair, this is the thread where people begged for pro accounts from anyone. sal and alfie don't care who they whore themselves out to.
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around 18th July 2005:
 
True.
Posted by Saltation_DUPE1, around 18th July 2005:
 
True.

Perhaps now would be a good time for me to mention the price .....

Thank you very much, Brock, by the way, for my lovely new Flickr pro account. I celebrated by scanning in a load of my photographs. I have a load of drawings I want to put up there too but I have a really busy day planned.

You're welcome, old son. I enjoy the chance to pour charity on our Hobbit friends.
