1. Time
2. Budget
3. The right lady

...this is the unholy trinity that haunts every punter...there are times when you have the budget and the right SP in mind, but the window of opportunity (time) is just not there. It's like life just does everything to get in the way. This has been me lately. The other day I was on the way to a highly anticipated punt. 5 mins away from the destination I get a call from my kids' nanny about an emergency with one of my offspring and I had to do a u-turn :(

Then there are times when you have no. 1 & 2 sorted, but you just can't find no. 3. This is where regulars come in very helpful. Sometimes you just need a sure thing.

Then the worst times are when Cyril's economy just fucks you over; when you've got no. 1 & 3, but you just don't have the budget:(. Again, in my years I've found a way around this with pre-paid sessions with trusted regulars. Risky, but it provides quite an upside when the budget is lean amd you have a trustworthy regular.

Very important even for SPs to understand this. Others know thats why Mondays are the busiest days for SPs.

Important to note that many occasions punters are sacrificing time and budget to have the right lady.

Interesting combo. I myself struggle to get the 3 to gel together.

Time is my biggest - not that I'm Richie Rich by any means - but by the time I have free time all the 'right ones' have clocked out.

Hehehe yeah I've found myself, sometimes, punting not because I'm particularly horny, but just that I have the time, budget and an SP I've always wanted is available close by.

This what I end up doing. Very rare for all 3 factors to be line for me.

Time usually isn't a factor for me.
My main problem these days is the right WG at the right location, since I don't like traveling out too much for a punt.

Be grateful time is not an issue.
Punting during office hours is rarely an option for me which eliminates so many options.
