I am on the brink of financial ruin.

Can you declare yourself bankrupt?

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Fri 18 Feb 2011, 11:48, Reply)

If I do I will lose my home.

Really?
A friend had to declare herself bankrupt when the father of her two kids shagged the babysitter, then fucked off to the Philippines leaving her with shit loads of debt. She was able to keep the house.

it depends entirely on the circumstances
if the trustee in bankruptcy thinks the house is adequate, you'll stay there. if he thinks it's excessive, it will be sold so that something smaller can be purchased.

but it really is a last resort thing, you'd never get a mortgage again!

Don't you run your own business? It's coming up for end of financial year.
Would now be a good time to award yourself a five fingered bonus?

Nah, it's someone else's.

Are you suggesting he fists himself?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 18 Feb 2011, 11:51, Reply)

No, I'm suggesting he steals from the company
and fucks off to Rio. It's the only sane thing to do, in the circumstances.

You cross-dressers, always about the fisting.

Do you have one of those cookery brushes that they use for egg-wash? If you've got two of them, you could sale one, but not both because you'd need one if you ever make something with pastery.

Best suggestion so far
Practical

Or if he has Sky, Internet and a Phone line by different companies, you can generally get it cheaper if you use the same company for all three.
But the trouble is Sky's telly is the best, but their internet is rubbish. Virgin's internet is best, but their telly is medioca. And BT's telly is worst, but their price is best.

It's hard to find the right one.

Pft as if Monty has any modern technology in his flat

( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Fri 18 Feb 2011, 12:01, Reply)

He's got loads of modern technology, but he considers the combustion engine modern.

I've gone with Sky for the telly, Virgin for the internet
and cut down on the port and cut out MDs entirely. It's an individual choice, of course.
