    Ha!!! Me and me little boys have nothing worry about. And it's the women that will be taking you down Sir :rotfl:

    Your setting yourself up for a lovely trip :D

    Considering you have continued to climb your high horse, would you now like a helping hand getting back down!? :D

    Sorry for the delay buddy, I've never doubted my ability but in the space of a 10minute phone call I've just achieved a most remarkable feat.

    I've no objction to the women taking me down whatsoever, but I'll give the Internet Dating a miss.

    Referring to me as Sir will do just fine, and you've just confirmed that there is you and group of "little boys".:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    I'll stay at my level; its infinitely more panoramic than yours.:D :D

    What a pity that she did not post her story on this forum, Oggyio. She would have received some excellent advice and, above all, sympathetic support.

    I agree, but it was over 3 years ago now and I wasn't on MSE either myself at the time. :beer:

    It is nice to be able to sit and glean help and information on here. The back biting is uncalled for, there is nothing wrong with a bit of friendly banter in the right context of things, but sometimes I have seen comments that are malicious and uncalled for.
    I am sure that people will agree that those who genuinely have resorted to bankrupcy as a final solution, it is a massive step to take and should be supported / guided where possible.
    The minority who have decided to live life on their credit cards and have lavish lifestyles beyond their means, I personally don't have as much time for

    At the end of the day, everybody is different, we all have different morals and standards. A basic financial grounding should be to save something where ever possible and not to just ' pop it on the plastic'.

    Thank you Oggyoi (I spelt it right that time :rolleyes: ) for those kind, and wise, words. :T :T

    Slightly intrigued as to how Gd v Richard_S will pan out.

    Thing is though guys - is it worth it? Why not both just step away eh?

    Oh no, don't get me wrong Richard. I was simply referring to your point on little boys so that you may understand. I fear that if I do use a different analogy of something, I may lose the thought path or worse, confuse you. It seems rather to easy, as pointed out with the loans thing earlier, when you also got so excited. So I feel it's easier to use your own terminology to keep the conversation going :)

    I do feel a little harsh in responding though, as you did look so excited just then at the thought of winning something, but alas it has to be done. :D
