Alcohol induced buying

[Big RICHARD]

At uni I bought myself a porn subscription for 12 months when drunk. I didn't notice until I got my statement though! I phoned the credit card company and told them that I hadn't made the transaction to get out of it! I told tham my mate had done it, but I didn't want him done as it was a prank......

Surely some of you still have some common sense..

I didn't even know I'd done it! Not until a random payment came up on my credit card bill!

I was like ......

Phoned the company and then the credit card company after I realised what had happened......

Ok I was slighly out but at least yer know I wasn't bullrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishing
I think the price dropped drasticly a month or two later which makes it all the more worse

In London, the Salvation Army only run their soup kitchens after 1am, so that the beggars who commute into London from their homes in the suburbs will have already taken the last tube home, and only the genuine homeless are left.

Beggars are criminals, by definition.

Not computer related spending but ....


This was about 2 weeks after I got my very first PC (about 6 yrs ago) ....
I remember coming home from the pub with a couple of mates and said mates wanted to go surf some pr0n so I was like yeah go for it, I crashed out on the couch and woke up about a hour later in a drunken/stoned haze, mates had left by this point but didnt shutdown PC so me wanders over to switch it off and to my horror there was a freaking premium rate dialer still ticking away by this point up at around $180

Got kind call from BT next day stating that I had run up £114 in premium rate calls in the last 24hours blah blah I'm sure the woman was trying not to laugh at my explanation

Thank god I woke up when I did

1) Beggars can't apply for jobs, they have no home address. No home address equals no job. So they're trapped.
2) I hate them. In Hanley (Stoke-On-Trent) two smack heads came and asked me and G.Dave for money, I said no, Dave said no we walked off and 10 minutes later went for a hotdog from a stand, the smack heads had followed us and were screaming abuse calling us lying C***S etc, so G.Dave went off on one and the one tried to grab a bottle to bottle him. I picked up a metal chair from the hotdog stand and they left. Beggars suck.

3) Drink induced spending made me take out my rent money (when I lived in a flat a month ago) and spend it on me and my brothers mates beer all night. Me being drunk looked in my account and said, F*** me I've got £200 in here spare.
