OMG - Ive just been sent to DEBTORS PRISON.

Well... Most know my issues and struggles and we are at the end and unfortunatley are filing for Bankruptcy.

Some one has posted on my diary that they possibly should bring back debtors prisons... They were abolished in the 1700's...

No idea why he is looking at a debt board, perhaps he is the debt police, or works for Moorecroft, Westcot et al and is a spy !!

I have been sentenced to 5 years hard labour in the prison for trying to better myself in setting up a business that failed, and tried to survive....

What have you done, and what stretch has he given you? Im in for w whipping later aswell......

    Just spat my water out laughing! Dripping monitor now!!!!
  • You didn't sound too upset at the whipping prospect - there was nearly a mistake there - I typed whopping - now there might have been a sting!
    Not many businesses would have got going if people didn't take risks - some you win some you don't, better to have tried and failed than to have sat on your backside regretting the fact you might have got somewhere.
    Maybe he would like to go back to other stuff in the 1700's - why stop at the debtors prisons!

    I have seen it, but have declined to post as that just gives the muppet more attention. Which I've just done by mentioning him. Damn. There's always one on any forum, isn't there? I expect he's never made a mistake or bad decision in his life. Not many mistakes you can make whilst sitting at your computer in your bedroom in your mum's house doing one handed typing with a box of Kleenex though is there?
