Nestabear Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 So, this is a very sad weekend for me :robotsad: ...first have a look at these, then I'll explain so now all I need is a ticket and visa and were all set right... wrong. I got held up @ gunpoint and was robbed of my car... which had my I.D. document, Passport and some cash. No worries, I go to get a new passport & the power was off for a whole day at home affairs. Then on day 2, the power was off for half the day & their system down for the other half. Yeah, I know South Africa Sux. Managed to get all that sorted & got a temp I.D. & crisp new passport, but of coarse it had to be a public holiday so everyone could vote ( it's not who votes that counts, its who counts the votes over here ) & the Romanian embassy was not available. So here I'm stuck with everything in place for me to go and win this thing... enrty ticket to the Main Event worth 550 Euro, accommadation & transfers, ticket........ but no visa. But no worries. I did it once I'll do it again. Next time I'll just make sure to win one with flights and accommodation... LOL Thanx for letting me vent See you at the tables you all !!! Always remember... You can be... do... or have anything your heart desires ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

startelver Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Johannesburg sounds like a dangerous place to live. Never experienced anything like that . Maybe you can sell the prize to someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sect7G Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 NestaBear I am sorry to hear about your terrible luck. Keep your chin up and as you said you can do it again by winning a package to another Live event. GL and be fortunate for your health... it could have been worse.
