It hasn't.
I'm in a permanent job with a final salary pension, my base rate tracker mortgage has just plummeted so that I can afford double my usual payments, I have no debts, I have no savings to lose, I have no dependents, and my biggest fear is that I might trip on a beggar on my way to Tesco.

Take some risks woman
Sound like life is boring. Marry an afgan or something.

I don't know about marrying an afghan,
but I once fucked someone in a sheepskin jacket. Does that count?

They actually kept the jacket on??
Sorry, but that's just odd. I once had a warning on a first date that 'I can't keep my socks on during sex'. WIN!! When she said that I knew I was gonna get some later.

no
he didn't keep the jacket on.
Oh no, wait, yes, once he did. But we were outside.

That sounds like my life
Except my mortgage is fixed for the next two and a half years and I'd have to run down the beggars. Serves them right, though. Should have studied harder in school.
