OK so my feeble beverage on the ground and inverted spaghetti noodle just worked G5W on topband. That's the good news, but his only QSL method is via the bureau. I am not a member of the bureau.. What do I do now

Are you doing the contest? conditions are up and down, but when they are up they are fantastic!
G5W is the contest call for the station of G3BJ when operating contests.
I looked up G5W on QRZ.com and the page states "QSL via G3BJ". No mention of using just the Buro.
I'd send a short e-mail to G3BJ to confirm this and then just send off the traditional direct request with
a couple of bucks included.
The #1 area buro does not require a SASE so email the #9 buro and see what their requirements are. If you are an active ham you will receive quite a few calls via the buro but to use the outgoing buro service to respond to the QSLs you receive, I think you need to join the ARRL.

I think I'll send him a card. And add three green stamps. I have sent out a lot of cards before but my first G on 160 is a special one for me.
