Yeah. But I'm a functioning adult living a constructive life in the present, not a lazy, self-pitying Luddite.

yes yes we all know that you are the superior human on this forum

( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:20, archived)

Superior for having a current account with a different bank to my credit card?
I mean ... obviously my charm and allure make me superior to moist, but my banking habits are pretty mundane.

Although I've got an account in France too, now that I think about it. I'm a motherfucking Rockefeller.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:22, archived)

yes but they still make you superior, having two bank accounts sets you apart from the rest of us

( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:23, archived)

I only have two accounts because we didn't join the Euro.

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:24, archived)

oh and not because
you expected one or the other of them to completely lose all ability to function from time to time?
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:25, archived)

Are we talking two different languages.
I have a current account. I have a credit card with a different supplier. This doesn't in any way make me unusual.

I also have an account in France because we have a house there and it's got funny forrin money. Again ... this isn't a radical or particularly inventive way of managing money.

I don't know why you are telling me this.

Because you expressed deep confusion at how normal people live in 2013, you babbling twat.

No I didn't.
I just said a bank's system had gone down, and you started insulting me, for some reason.

I called you a lazy Luddite because you're seemingly incapable of getting photo id or a credit card in 2013

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:56, archived)

I could get photo ID if I wanted,
but I don't really need it, so I don't have it.

I'd have suggested more towards the moist end of the scale.
Don't most people get their credit card from their bank? Because that's really easy. They used to offer them insistently every time you went in a branch.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:24, archived)

Getting a credit card from anywhere was always easy.
That's why so many practically innumerate bell-ends managed to get themselves into debt.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:26, archived)

oh so you're only as superior as a practically innumerate bell-end?
That's nice to know.

( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:30, archived)

But it's always the same.
You affect astonishment at a perfectly mundane aspect of life. Pretend indignation and confusion. Then act as though you're the sole sane mind left in a crazy world. After relating the same experiment for ten years I'd have thought it might have started to wear thin.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:32, archived)

yep,
it always works, and I'm not even trying.

I know that plenty of people have two different cards from two different banks. So what? Whoop de bloody do. I don't, and neither do a lot of people. It's not because they are ignorant non-functioning luddites. It's just because they feel like they only really need one bank account.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:35, archived)

I only have one bank account in the UK.

I haven't bothered trying for years. It seems to me like you're the one who's lost the plot, though.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:41, archived)

Yes.
I have a current account and a single credit card. A personal banking arrangement so fiendishly arcane that I have to employ an army of accountants to manage it. You prat.

for some reason.
