    Do me a favour and stand down wind :D

    If you own one shirt and one pair of trousers and everything else has been repossessed I am at a loss to understand why you are even inquiring about 0% credit cards.

    I hope they didn't take your socks and underpants as well

    Of course they exist. May not be the job you want, but you can find a job and do that till something better comes along. Infact, 10 second search found a job as an evelope packer in Glasgow (bit far for you to commute maybe ;)) but point is there's always work of some type even if it's not phenominally well paid or glamorous.

    You actually asked for gambling tips, not good advice. Good advice is to get your CV together and start applying for everything and anything http://jobseekers.direct.gov.uk/subjectmenu.aspx?sessionid=e6aa48d2-ad09-4c4a-935c-df959fdda0a9&pid=1&o=1 There's free help on CV writing if you need a hand with that.

    Racking up credit card debts and not paying it ever as your OP suggests isn't an answer.

  • its ok for you if you already have a job, savings or anything else...

    but what you do not get is it i have NOTHING not a small piece of savings and i cant even get some bread if i want it,,,

    so THIS, this is why i ask, can i get a credit card even if i would lie on a pplaication,,, to get just SOME way of buying the thinggs i need for surviving in life more than just the most mediocre, bbasic life which is painful and unenviable...

    I would also advise to run a spell check on your letters and CV before sending them off for job applications ;-)

    And what happened to your free overdraft and 4% savings ??

    I've already consigned this joker to the troll bin.

    Someone in genuine hardship wouldn't still be bleating on with the same tired lines.

    As for not knowing what it's like, I've posted previously about growing up in the east end of a Scottish town that had saw it's traditional heavy industry dismantled, being on unemployment benefit just after leaving school, impoverished student days, living on £60 a week "enterprise allowance" when I left uni while trying to establish my own company with a couple of mates. I grafted my a$$ off.

    Now I'm very comfortable. I didn't change my circumstances by looking for ways to rip off credit card companies or find sure-fire bets. Sorry if that means that I don't have a lot of time or sympathy for people who want an easy way out.

    He's a student? Presumably studying trolling.

    He spells and correctly types "unenviable", "mediocre" and "applications" and then sprinkles his post with typos, poor grammar and comma's.
