BanksYour Ginger Fuhrer froths, "I hate my bank. Not because of debt or anything but because I hate being sold to - possibly pathologically so - and everytime I speak to them they try and sell me services. Gold cards, isas, insurance, you know the crap. It drives me insane. I ALREADY BANK WITH YOU. STOP IT. YOU MAKE ME FRIGHTED TO DO MY NORMAL BANKING. I'm angry even thinking about them."
So, tell us your banking stories of woe.
No doubt at least one of you has shagged in the vault, shat on a counter or thrown up in a cash machine. Or something

huh?Ok, most weeks someone does win the lottery. Yeah, so for that particular player the unlikely event of winning actually happened, despite the long odds. When trying to think about things like this, real world examples can be enlightening.
Of course, that doesn't change the fact that most people who play the lottery will never win the major prize, and will be down on average (I think lottery pays out about 80% on average?).
I do agree that gambling is essential a tax on the week and stupid (just like speeding fines), or perhaps a voluntary tax on those who are brighter/stronger.
