Why do you bother?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:54, archived)

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.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:50, archived)

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

( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:51, archived)

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.

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:55, archived)

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

This has never been in question.

i just thought you might need us to tell you that we all think that
i am just trying to be nice dont get cocky

I appreciate your kind words.

OH GOD THIS IS ALL SO CONFUSING

( drimble he'd been white, he'd been black, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:37, archived)

I'm panic opening bank accounts in all the confusion

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 2 Dec 2013, 20:41, archived)

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