Embarrassingly
it's not enough to get me out of trouble. It's merely a stay of execution. I have some half-baked ideas as to how I can make some money with the lump sum (legitimately) but as with all such schemes there is risk involved and I don't feel comfoprtable taking risks at the best of times.

Surely a small injection of cash to each of your creditors will buy you extra time?
Especially if you can provide them with an illustration of how you're going to get the rest to them and in what timescale. These people may be blood-sucking scum but they want their money and they won't get it if you go bankrupt.

I've stashed the lump sum in a 'spare' account
If I use some of it to live on, my salary covers most of my repayments. I'm not actually behind with anything bar my service charge.

When you say 'spare' account...
...do you mean Switzerland? With the rest of your people's gold

I'm intrigued.
But yes, risk. I don't really risk at all. I'm trying to be a little more daring in life generally, feel the fear and do it anyway etc.

I can't believe they would blame Japan for the atrocity that was Pearl Harbour, when clearly it was entirely Michael Bay's fault.

What astounds me is the suggestion that this is "payback" for Pearl Harbour

Well, when we have asshole nationally known TV preachers like Pat Robertson
blaming the earthquake in Haiti on a deal with the devil reportedly made by the slaves who revoted against France and won their freedom, or the hurricane in New Orleans as god's vengence on the wicked people in that city, and people in the US actually aggree with him and believe him, I don't get surprised at anything people say anymore. We are rapidly become the world's joke but sadly a joke with weapons and the willingness to use them stupidly.

Suggestion.
Surely it would be better to use that ten-grand to reduce your debts, and then live off your salary?

Does it not make sense to clear the debts that are costing you the most to service first?
