moral dilemma

flipside · December 13, 2003, 00:10

ummm........... well, it is kind of like this.
I'm broke, I mean like, real broke.
So, obviously, when the bank call me I am expecting the worst.
Turns out I am well overdrawn.
Errrr............. but not THAT overdrawn.
Turns out my card has been stolen.
One of the transactions is local.
Real local.
The place where I have bought my cigarettes for the last three years.
That has CCTV.
He lets me see the video.
I recognise the guy.
Ummmmm..............help!!!!!
I mean police,money back, or broken legs?

Nubclear · December 13, 2003, 00:12

Hmm...DL

flipside · December 13, 2003, 00:17

No, genuine question.
It is a guy a worked with until last week, who has "disappeared".
It is only about 300 quid, but, to me, that is a lot.
I am not liable for the money, but am pretty angry andI know where he lives.

Japher · December 13, 2003, 00:17

I think it's Che

he can't let us think commies need money

Kidicious · December 13, 2003, 00:18

I don't get it.

The simple solution would be to just kill him

Well, the natural explanation would be that English isn't it's natural language (Remember ottok?). OTOH, he has the flag of Ireland and uses the term "quid". Quite confusing, I'd say.

Kidicious · December 13, 2003, 00:20

Tell the police.

Do DLs every have signatures?

There's a minor problem in solving the problem you're facing right now. Maybe it's just me, but I can't understand a word what you were saying in the first two posts of yours. Could you start over? Try to be a bit more logical this time.

David Floyd · December 13, 2003, 00:28

I'd call the guy up, give him a choice of paying you back and giving you the card back, or you go to the police with the video.

Unless it's someone I really dislike, in which case I'd just call the cops.

True, but, I have done a broken legs for tickets to see Joools Holland deal.
I mean I could get him backstage and have signed piccies, but ****, is life meant to be like that?

reds4ever · December 13, 2003, 00:29

Flip,

you get the money back no matter what yes? If so, then why be bothered?

neither?

Don't tell the bobbies...bring your own nightclub, find this guy, show him what you have in your hand and politely ask for the money, I mean quid, back.

Better yet, forget all that....move to America. You seem tired, you did say you're poor....are you a huddled mass? Perhaps you wish to breathe free. Northern Ireland: The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

And we don't have quid here. The only thing we ask if a full background investigation, complete with an exhaustive biometric scan and data collection of your fingerprint, facial image, hand geometry, iris scan and generous DNA sampling. Once you have turned over your complete criminal, financial and voting records you may be allowed in -- but on a stirctly probabationary period. If you get a speeding ticket or drunk in public (you're irish after all) you get sent back.

Sounds like the best option to me.

'quid' = 1 GPB
'a few quid' = more than 1 GBP
'16 quid'= 16 GBP

geddit?

Is that a lump sum of gold from the AI, or gold per turn?

No, I guess I don't geddit, but I like your spelling of "geddit"!

flipside · December 13, 2003, 00:41

Yep.

reds4ever · December 13, 2003, 00:43

Sho,

Quid isn't slang for money, it's slang for 1 pound :O)

Immortal Wombat · December 13, 2003, 00:47

yup. go with the nice route first. then call the police if he acts up.

flipside · December 13, 2003, 00:50

True.
At least this has taken my mind off of my psycho stalker,who rings me up 4 times a day and tells me that she loves me.
I work with her too.
I have thought about handing my notice in at work quite a lot recently.

So we are all agreed that the legs are a no-no then?

If someone steals your card to get money, your insured on the card!

yep.
But the "jools for legs" deal is such a great one, especially as the tickets are free.
I mean, I'm not liable as it is not my signature on the debit slip, but still, would it not p*** you off if someone you knew had gone into your jacket, stolen your card and done their xmas shopping and cancelled yours.
