Oh lighten up, I was taking the piss
Better a poor piss taker than having a stick permanently up your butt in the lounge.
My wife pays everything cash and I often ask her why she doesn't get a card, so we can earn some points. Her reply is that if someone lifts money from your account or makes fraudulent charges you absolutely have no recourse like in the West.
^Don't know how valid that is, but it's my thinking as well.
I don't trust card machines in shops here because of the weak fraud controls throughout the land.
Yeah had some heavies rock up to my house on a Sunday afternoon and take the EX-missus scooter (that I bought) over a debt of 15k she owed, she begged me to pay them but I just said nah take the scooter. was a 2 year old Click that cost me 50k. An hour later all her shit was out the front of the gate in garbage bags.
Such a waste of 10 years of my life with her but shit happens.

The Meth One's Fuck The Best !!
The trick is keeping it zeroed every month. Many can't seem to do this month to month, hence the interest becomes a killer.
Assuming there was more to it than the 15k. There always is I guess...Originally Posted by Fondles
By the way, is that quote in your sig line from Butters for real? That would be so awesome if that really happened....
It is and the embarrassing truth is that Butterfly was correct. I cringe every time I see that quote because it shows how many people here don't know that "!" means "not" in logical notation. What the quote says is "100 mb is not equal to 1 gb" which is correct. I really wish Fondles would remove it as it makes him look stupid.

DrBob, why do you have Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov as an avatar? What is the significance?
Whatever significance you care to put on it. I provide the image, you provide your own meaning. Personally I just like the combination of light and shade in the image, same as in my previous avs of a bust of Cicero (pater patriae in case you were wondering about that too) and Paul Robeson in a football uniform, and I also rather like the air of looming menance in the image which us accentuated by knowing who he is and what was to come shortly after that image was made.
Yes, I remember them. Just curious.
At Peri Peri they had unplugged the card machine so they could charge their phone.
It took them 5 minutes to realise that after prodding and poking and examining the lifeless thing. Even pushing my card in and prodding the keys repeatedly
Luckily the manager seemed a stern and educated guy, who actually checked and traced the wiring while the staff were all bemused, confused and speechless.

So in other words, Butterfly was correct but is still a giant knob. Got it!Originally Posted by DrB0b
Reminds me of that apocryphal tale of the cursed bed in the Indian/South African ICU where patients died with monotonous regularity.
Until a doctor working night shift watched the cleaner unplug the ventilation machine, plug in the floor polisher, do the floor and then replace the plug afterwards.
