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.

Getting a credit card from anywhere was always easy.
That's why so many practically innumerate bell-ends managed to get themselves into debt.

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

Why do you bother?

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:29, archived)

to see what happens

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.

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:36, archived)

Well there you go.
Normal, see?

Whatever point you were originally trying to make is rapidly losing traction.

No wonder you can't get a job if you can't follow a perfectly simple conversation.

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:40, archived)

I don't know if I can get a job or not,
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.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:44, archived)

So you keep saying,
for some reason.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:45, archived)

so you don't have two different accounts in the uk?

( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:44, archived)

No.
Jesus wept. Did the past at the top of this thread become invisible?
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:45, archived)

so why is she a luddite for not having two different accounts in the uk while you are not a luddite?

( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:47, archived)

?

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:49, archived)

you called her a self pitying luddite after she said
that she doesn't have two different accounts in the uk
( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:50, archived)

I called her a lazy Luddite for claiming it was painfully difficult to get photo ID.
I'm not sure I'll be east to persuade out of that opinion.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:53, archived)

OHHH

( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:53, archived)

she just said it would be a rigamarole to get the stuff together
and that she doesn't even have a photo id at the moment, you read it wrong

yeh
and for the amount a passport costs, I could just buy a safe.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:56, archived)

because I don't also have one in France,
I suppose.

you should probably have thought about that before you caused the recession

its almost like you're not very good at making a point

( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:49, archived)

I'll be sure to keep that in mind tomorrow when I'm being paid to explain complicated things to grown ups.

well you are the superior human on this forum,
don't worry we haven't forgotten that

OH GOD THIS IS ALL SO CONFUSING

I'm panic opening bank accounts in all the confusion

I just ran up an insane overdraft because I mistook my current account for a credit card
