"Bond?"
"Yes, M."
"Did you know that Le Chifre was an Arab?"
Yep yep yep yes yeah sure was.
Al Sifre - صِفْرٌ
" THE 'O' " - not 'zero' exactly, but something like a 'circle pictograph.' An encircling, or encirclement.
Right now what I regard as potentially one of today's true 'Le Chifre's - a man from somewhere in the Arabian Gulf, has sent across to me, a qintar box of dirhams!!!!!
'Qintar' is in fact on the one hand an Albanian denomination of a coin, but in ancient Arabic, the word means 'a great amount of wealth.'
And the standard meaning is always referred back to a passage in the Koran which says the following:
"Among the People of the Scripture is he who, if entrusted with a Qintar (a great amount of wealth), will readily pay it back."
This man - I can't say 'gentleman' because as you know 'gentleman' is really a French expression for someone of the greater French Feudal and Martial Aristocracy, who were all Christian, and therefore you wouldn't apply the word to a Muslim, you just say 'Mohammed' (someone worthy of praise in his actions and demeanour); this is really their equivalent phrase for 'gentleman') - well in any event this man, is the group leader of a team of Baloot Championship senior and highly credentialed, participants.
What they want to do is 'stake' some Westerners into 'buy in' poker games (this is not formally permissible in the ordinary run of things) and train them in techniques that the top Baloot champions use, and then maybe have them cross-over to take part in the main Saudi Baloot Championship (and this bit is permissible).
So what we need to do is find some potential players.
What we've got to do is go via 'social media' and cover our tracks so that no one will really be able to pin it back to anyone. And there's plenty of ways to do that of course.

One of the considerations is that potential players have a certain personality profile - they can't be these angry, demented, testosterone-driven, unstable, obsessional, depressives with a defeated mental outlook and some underlying malice that is usually expressed as 'rational skepticism' or super-negativity based on what they regard as 'realism' or a 'realistic outlook.' These people are perfectly useless and always dangerous to themselves and others on any mission.
So, if you want to make some cash and you have the time to play around being a 'key-board warrior' and 'micro-influencer' let's have your contact details, please.
Probably it's best if you email me first via interdeq@iinet.net.au
We need about ten people by my present calculations and we have a small sum on hand to fiddle around with.
Eyhhhhhh that Qintar
