Perisie stuck abroad! Transfer request
Perisie, Aug 13 2011
I'm in a Forn Land and suddenly ran out of money on my Natwest debit account*. I have ~£15 and need to get transport back to my friend's house in a distant city.
I can't transfer from my other (Santander) account unless I wait 5 days as it'd be a first-time transfer (I don't have a Santander ATM card).
I have $100 on PS I can send to you in exchange for a $90 (around 60 euro, £55, if i read it right) transfer into my Natwest account (british). You would have to use your bank's online banking service. I would then hopefully be able to use my debit card at an ATM to withdraw!
Please give me a PM so I can give you my Natwest account number, name and sort code!!!!
THANKYOU PLEASE PM ME
tldr; receive my $100 from PS and send me $90 to my natwest bank account
*i checked my balance recently but none of the different ATMs here tell you whether the amount is + or - so i thought i was in the green :/

I'm back after having no internet for 2 weeks. That means....more movie recommendations!!!
Green Zone - american army action hero film. was okay for a casual thing to watch, got 7/10 on imdb.
Altered States - suupppper awesome 1980 movie about a scientist who uses an isolation tank and an exotic drug to explore dream states...then makes a revolutionary discovery! why do i always think old movies must be crappy or dull? if you like psudo-science then this is your new fav film
Keys to the VIP - mtv series in which 2 buff hunks are sent into a nightclub and have to get girls' phone numbers. hilarious, interesting and sickening at the same time! if you know any other shows like this (guys trying to win girls in real life situations/competitions) let me know
Audition - japanese horror. A man starts dating a woman who isn't quite what she seems. this was pretty cool.
Death Bell - korean (iirc) horror, a bunch of highschool students and their teachers are trapped in a school and slowly picked off by an unknown killer. also pretty cool.
Ju-On - japanese horror revolving around deaths that occur in a particular house. i thought this had potential, but when it came to it the "shock" scenes were just plain not scarey in the slightest. i wouldnt recommend this. (it was also remade as The Grudge in usa)
One Missed Call (USA, horror) - heeeey i actually liked this! it got 3/10 on imdb? this was a decent film and you should watch it!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant get ahold of the japense version yet
The Perfect Storm - i love storms so i just haadddd to get this movie! it didnt disappoint (my incredibly low storm-loving standards).
Suicide Club (jap, 2002) - hundreds of young kids start killing themselves all over japan and the police try to find out why. totally delivers, a must-watch.
Visitor Q - this, alongside Marebito, is the ultimate in sick-headed japanese perfection. i cannot believe something like this existed without me knowing about it for all these years. DO NOT WATCH THIS WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!! SHE WILL HATE YOU!!!
Marebito - a reporter who likes to film things everywhere he goes experiences some strange things. as above, an absolute must-watch
Assault Girls - short movie (40 mins?) about 4 MMO characters in a super realistic game. dont be fooled by the title, nothing much really happens. you're better off watching hack/sign if you like that kinda thing.
The Karate Kid - weeeee jackie chan looks OLD!!!! heheehe not really :3 its all makeup u kno. this was a cool movie, although not a single peice of epicness in sight. watch it on a rainy day - this is not a jackie movie to run out and buy some beers for.
Pulse - american remake of japanese (korean?) horror Kairo. watch the original, which is fantastic and very scarey. then watch this when you have nothing better to do (and want everything spelled out to you and explained, and then some).
Vampire Hunter D - old but satisfying (and famous) anime flick. even though its old its still entertaining.
Cannibal Holocaust - wow, this is awesome. a handful of american "adventurers" go into the amazon and some things happen. wont spoil it! i cant believe this got 6/10, its a must-watch. very brutal, showing live animals being cut up and also pretty graphic child rape.
The Quiet Family (korean) - a cute family open a lodge in the middle of nowhere, but their lodgers seem to keep accidently dying!! entertaining dark comedy. theres a japanese version of this too im trying to get.
Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer - solid and interesting, about a psychopath who kills people secretly. worth getting.
The Day of the Triffids!!! wow im happy i remembered this one. this was a 2-part remake of the old film/s. the entire world is struck BLIND. to top it all off, killer plants begin to roam the cities. this very modern remake of the classic was decent and fun to watch.
Invasion Earth - this is a 6-part obscure british series that i rememebered verrrry vaguely from when i watched it on TV in 1998!!!! feels awesome finding stuff like that after so long. it follows the efforts of an army base and local town after TWO new alien species are suddenly discovered. this was memorable because of a very dark spooky atmosphere that runs throughout, and has an epic and non-bullshit finale.
So what to recommend? There's a lot of stuff "worth watching" in this batch, but it really depends on your taste and what you feel like.
Absolute must-sees are
Visitor Q
Marebito
Altered States
Cannibal Holocaust
IF YOU CAN HELP ME find torrent or link for My Sassy Girl (Kor) and "The Last Train" (old british series about a bunch of people who wake up after 1000 years to find themselves in post-apocolyptic world)
