Yeah, that must be it The wife that was with me on that particular trip died in 1995. The present wife is in Israel right now. But to keep them both close to my heart I keep both their old passports with me just in case I need to show some maniac a visa from 1989. Chances always were that between the two wives, something like this would come up. Hence I keep those passports for just such a purpose. Gotta hand it to you Maxie, nothing gets by you. Not a thing. And of course, to make it even more clear, normal people like you didn't need a passport to go to France then. Just deceased or travelling wives of big old liars and tellers of tales. Like me.
Yeah, that must be it The wife that was with me on that particular trip died in 1995. The present wife is in Israel right now. But to keep them both close to my heart... There goes the violin... I keep both their old passports with me just in case I need to show some maniac a visa from 1989. See. I told you it wasn't your passport or you would know the quite obvious reason for the French visa.
Interesting the delay in time from when I asked you and until you came up with a visa jpg. You threw up all that crap about WSF, etc. And you still didn't know the answer. The answer is simple. Of course, anyone who went to France in that time period would know that after decades of travel without a visa, why all of a sudden, post 12/21/88, France then required it. Here's a hint and this is why if you were truly as traveled as you claim, you would instantly have known why the visa was required:
First it's working "shortly" in Monte Carlo, then that becomes a five day trip. After I found your BS "BTW, I used to trade out of Monte Carlo," post, then all of a sudden you claim multiple trips. Didn't know where the heliport is and didn't know the time difference. Both of which are now really bad, you being a "repeat visitor." This is all topped off by not knowing that Pan Am 103 was the reason France required a visa in the late 1980's. In my opinion, you're a disgrace. But that's ok, you can come on here as another one of your I.D.s and say "So what? RS7 makes great posts." Hell, it's not even good fiction.
Sorry to disappoint you Maxie... guess we all have different definitions of "shortly". I also worked for Merrill Lynch "shortly" also, though by your standards, 2 years would greatly exceed 25% of your lifetime in developmental terms, so then it would not qualify as "shortly" to you. Again, I apologize profusely for not realizing the sea was NOT due south, as I was assuming due to my apparently poor sense of direction. Still thinking about having that GPS thing implanted under my skin so you can't "catch me" making such pernicious errors. Anyway as far as the Heliport... Well, the only time I used it was that one time I had my wife and son with me. The other trips my employer had his driver pick me up in Nice. So, there you have it. One time, almost 14 years ago, and gee....I couldn't remember EXACTLY where it was. Just that it was in the opposite direction from Loews of the Hotel d' Paris. I am still quite certain of this. But I know it is safe to assume you will disprove this too. OK, Pan AM fl# 103...this is something you say that actually would MAKES SENSE! (except for something I will get to shortly). And, obviously I should be deeply ashamed for not putting it all together. How very evil, stupid, and malicious my intent was to admit that I did not know. Please, Please, accept my deepest apologies!!! PLEASE! I know this was a MAJOR flaw in my entire existence (at best). Almost as bad as my possible mistake that the market closing time was 10, and not 11 (well, at my age, you sometimes lose an hour every 13 or 14 years or so). But still, I should certainly be greatly ashamed. But interestingly, at 8:09 (my time...no one knows what time zone YOU are in....the Twilight Zone?... as is clearly established by your dodging the issue of your place of residence), you seemed quite sure that a visa was not needed to go to France. At 9:38, you had the answer why a visa WAS required. So gee. It only took you an hour and a half to research the answer. A fine use of time. And a good "out" for someone that obviously was (dare I say it?) FUCKING WRONG about the requirement for a visa until I posted mine. Oh, but then somehow you were able to find a French visa of "your own". Interesting! So you knew, or you didn't know that one was required. Which was it? Who's visa is that really? And interestingly, my visa is clearly issued in Chicago, which is where I said I worked and lived at the time. "Your" visa clearly does NOT show where it was issued. Which would make sense for someone who obviously doesn't actually LIVE anywhere. Even the passport number is blanked out. Mine is not. So if there is a way of tracking down someone with that number (as I am sure a super spy with connections to the NSA, or Immigration like you apparently must have), you can easily see who's visa MINE really is. And if it was truly in my name or one of my wife's names, as you have asserted for reasons unknowable to norman people. (Max, you need a wife or husband. It would help you one way or another. Change your attitude for the better, but of course finding someone to tolerate you full time...well that would be a bit much to expect). Talk about paranoid!!!! Blanked out the passport number.....Ok, I respect your anonymity. I give up on even asking you where you are from. Looks like a US passport to me, which is interesting, but I will save that one for a future post in which I will prove how completely full of shit you really are. HOWEVER..back to "your" visa....... it says it was issued in April of 88.....let's see, was April of '88 before or after the December of '88 bombing of Pan Am 103? What is the "answer" to this strange contradiction of Maxie boy's logical "reason" for all of a sudden needing a visa to enter France onlyafter the Pan Am bombing? As everyone should know (except me, which I admit to). You say I can come on here as one of my "other ID's", etc...... Now Maxie, i have you on my "buddy list" so I can tell when you are online and I am being stalked. Yesterday, you or someone claimed that me and Traderfut and Stu, and VVV and Optional777 or whoever were all the same person. However, even a super sleuthing snoop like yourself should be able to figure out how to use the Buddy List and see how this could be possible when we are all on line simultaneously. Lastly, in YOUR OPINION, I am a disgrace. Thank you for the endorsement. If I were anything less than an adversary of yours in any and all ways, then I would truly be deeply ashamed. For you are the definition of a misanthrope, a loser, and an overall sorrowful excuse for a "human being?" (It is still not established where you are from, even as broadly defined as what planet, so "human being" is a baseless assumption). So thanks for the seal of approval. I am proud to be a disgrace in your eyes!!!! Peace and Happy Hunting. And give my best to all your pals at the KKK and NRA and Trailer Park Association meetings. What a "blast" you all must have planned for the holiday seasons. Kill, maim, hate and drink a lot of cheap beer. Cheers! PS: Do they let you play with the real guns? Or do they still have you on the pellet and bb deals? In any event, may your aim be accurate, your targets many, and your kills numerous. (Is that the right toast for redneck hate group members? Did I get it right? Or close?) Boy, I am having a rough time coming to terms with this April coming before December issue. Wonder how Max would deal with this one???????
Bwaaaahahahaha......! I bet you went nuts trying to figure that out. So, how does it feel to be told an untruth? But it's ok for you to tell one outrageous lie after another. Of course, you have a double standard. Right, Mr. Biiiig Trader from Monte Carlo? Get back to us when you find out the real reason "you" needed a visa.
Oh, let's see. I said I did not know. You come along and explain what the reason was. But then, you are caught in an obvious contradiction, so you say it was an intentional lie. I have a double standard????? And now you imply that "I" needed a visa for some reason different from your "reason"...? Give it up Max....You are embarassing yourself so badly that even I, who should rejoice in your frustration, can no longer not be sickened by your endless perversions of everything. Get a life. You are now no longer amusing. You are being terribly boring and I am terribly disappointed. I thought you were a worthy adversary. You are not. Just a sad pathetic lonely loser. Don't bother responding. Find another playground. Au Revior.
Ouch! And I thought 'tis the season for goodwill to all men! Why don't you two just kiss and make up? P.S. This is my last post for three weeks since I'm going to Italy. I'll try to swing by the Monte Carlo to see if leaves fall from the trees in December. Hopefully, it's not too far from Italy. Max, if you doubt me I can show you a passport stamp. Take care and Happy Holidays to all!
