Alci subsists on the government's dime while investing pretty much his entire salary, while Marti is paid in Polish money, so I can see why it might have seemed competitive. He must be paid a lot of Polish money.

But Martinus works for a big international law firm, right?  He was briefly transferred to London or something, if I remember correctly.  The point being, that he must be paid in a sum that is competitive internationally.  Even if it is in Polish money, it must be a ton of Polish money that is still extremely attractive when converted to other currencies :mmm:

You should let him wash your feet.

You know, I really should have access to the backroom.

Well I thought he had cured himself of his addiction for this place.  It appears he has not.  So why not?
You don't feed one's addiction, that's just bad taste.

I remember some sort of contest between BB and him about their pay, and I think Martinus won handily.
BB is a civil servant, of course Marty wons.  Most of us working full time probably make more than BB.

Hmm, Martinus is a rich lawyer who works for some kind of huge international firm, right?  My impression is that he is easily one of the five richest posters on this board.  I remember some sort of contest between BB and him about their pay, and I think Martinus won handily.
Speaking of which, isn't it funny how the richest posters here also come off as some of the less bright ones?  :hmm:

Minsky's bright enough not to have given us any real details on how rich he is. People just assume that he's rich because he knows about expensive wines.  :hmm:

Minsky is one of the few you I don't have any idea on a real identity.  All I know is he's a Jew who works in at a lawfirm in Manhattan near Grand Central.  Maybe he works at Davis Polk.  If that was true, he'd be quite wealthy indeed.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I used to be in TBR but am not any more. I have no idea why, though not particualrly bothered.

Seems weird having a thread about Marty that wasn't started by him.

Because we moved boards in 2009 and forgot to add you back I assume.  Either that or you were caught up in one of PDH's hundred or so purges.
