    I've just read that bigot's comments! Some people are incredulous! Well, when he gets into debt after he's unable to find a job after his recent redundancy (see his first post on this site), there won't be any advice going his way!

    But Mike, look on the bright side...think of all the money you'll save on food and utility bills whilst in prison! :rotfl:

    Actually, if you stop or reduce payments on your loan that were agreed at the time you signed, you are committing theft.

    Moreover, when debtors prisons were abolished by act of parliament in 1869, it was still possible for someone who had the means to repay debts but chose not to could still go to jail for up to six weeks, and they were still liable for the debt.

    Even now this is technically the case only now it falls under the various laws concerning fraud.

    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?



    Read post bursting for loo, bladder of a mother with young child and laughed too hard, very near miss!! COuld you please put warnings on any posts that are gonna make us laugh that hard, seems like a lot of moniters may be covered in drinks etc right now!

    You have the same syndrome as me - they call it 'mother's dribble'. I'm always doing it, especially when I sneeze - in fact the other day I was hanging out the washing, Mr A was sat in the garden and I sneezed rather hard, done a 'mother's dribble' and said 'oh !!!!!!!! I've !!!!!! myself' - not realising neighbour was also sitting in his garden enjoying the sunshine. The amount of pants I get through in a week you wouldn't believe.
    My sig's too large, apparently - so apologies to whoever's space I was taking up.:lipsrseal

    Mrs A I'm glad I'm not the only one, but considering you also suffer this a warnign next time perhaps, maybe MOTHER'S DRIBBLE ALERT in red at the top of any risky post would aid us both! PS in case you haven't already discovered avoid all forms of bouncy castles and trampolines, sooooo seem like a good idea before you get on but.........:rotfl:

    Sadly I have a dodgy leg so can't run or jump, so trampolines are luckily out of the question, however I did get over excited at a Robbie Williams concert a few years back, bobbed up and down with gusto and hey presto - dribbly mama.
