Altalt: my elder sister got the original Donkey Kong game for her birthday and didn't let me play on it until I was in my teens - about 5 years. I'm pretty sure those actions are a significant reason the way I am now.

And one loves the long squeaky tennis balls and the third rejects all toys as childish rubbish and sleeps all day.
The kong stuff is hard wearing though, even these chihuahua can destroy cheap toys in minutes.

It's kind of like a kong, but it has nobbly bits on the outside, so when you throw it, it goes in all directions. That's one of his favourites at the moment.

Been approached about a job on the board of one of the pay day loan companies. Said I'm not interested as I think they're immoral businesses.
Was this the correct decision?
( , Wed 30 Oct 2013, 12:46, Reply)

People stupid and desperate enough to use a pay day loan deserve everything they get. They all have Sky TV and drink and smoke, NO EXCEPTIONS!

I'm a bit torn as I think they do prey on the stupid. that "amigo" one should be illegal, it's emotional blackmail. but then, they make money, they employ people...
if they vetted their applicants so that the vulnerable didn't get abused, fine. but of course then they wouldn't have many applicants.

£9k on a pushbike is nonsense.

Most of the money is down to development costs spread over the few that are sold.

Let's face it - if you've got £9k to spend on a bike, you're going to be an alcoholic rich tubster that's just doing it for the lols. Which makes you a cunt.
Or you're going to be SIR Chris Hoy, in which case you won't pay for it anyway.

Fact of the matter is that something is worth what people will pay for it. If people will pay 9 grand on a pedal bike, then that's what it's worth.
It's easy for me, coming from the perspective that a bike is a mode of transport that's mildly more convenient and slightly less uncomfortable than running, to say that's a ridiculous price tag but then it's not aimed at me.

It's irresponsible lending. There are far more responsible lenders in that sector.

and the unemployed.
( , Wed 30 Oct 2013, 13:55, Reply)

Some will. There are also lenders which sell money rather than charge interest. That's more responsible; missed payments don't cause the debt to snowball. If it's face to face collections as well then it's much easier to manage repayment plans if someone does get into difficulty.

to be making decisions like that sensibly versus going after people that have proven themselves incompetent at life in general and money in particular in order to squeeze the last bit of solvency out of them.
Payday loan companies are saying that if you pay the loan back on time the APR is meaningless and so it is. However, they're going into business betting that the people they're lending to won't be paying it back. Other institutions are betting that you will.
Perhaps that's overly simplistic, but I'm not an accountant.

It is also how the lenders make it very lucrative.
