Even if she turns out to be lying, we still have Night of the Doctor (one of the options the Sisterhood of Karn offer the Doctor is "man or woman?") and The Doctor's Wife (the Doctor says the Corsair "didn't feel like himself unless he had the tattoo... or herself, a couple of times").Quote:

Glad you're enjoying things! Makes life so much smoother when the big chunk of time that goes to working is at least pleasant. :)Quote:

QA checking, and there's no quality, and certainly no assurance.
I used to like performing assurance services when I was young and naive... :p

and the best part of auditing companies is how well they treat you! Baby don't fear the Reaper... fear the Auditor! ;)
Really? I deal with financial complaints as an alternate to the courts - businesses hate us for the most part!
Sounds like you kind of provide mediation services so that doesn't sound like something companies would be fond of. :pQuote:

Yep. Mediation service. That's us.
Awesome job, but man it can get testing.
Seems the word 'no' is no longer applied, and we have lost the ability to live within our means.Quote:

I don't have the latest and greatest.Quote:

But getting in so deep you're still paying it off a year later? That's just madness.
Unfortunately, some people are put under that pressure, especially if they have affluent siblings, or in neighborhoods with lots of kids in the same age bracket and school. I'm not trying to claim it accounts for all of the debtors, but it's definitely there.
in theory that is the ideal situation, always better to avoid debt. it is not always possible in reality though. I have significant debts I am paying off until January that came about because I couldn't afford my rent. nothing I could do about it, it was incur debt, or be homeless.Quote:

I am not accruing debt any more, just spending a few more months paying off debt that stretches back a long time
Well being new he could just get rid if he wanted to get rid couldn't he?Quote:

I even bought me some german helmet orc heads :eek:
That is a necessary debt though. Not all debt is bad. But borrowing money just for Christmas to the extent you're still paying it off the following Christmas? That is stupid.Quote:

I did notice that no where did they seem to try to suggest they were Ork compatible or mention GW...
But yeah those bit stands were lethal, and they're right in the door way to snare you.
German Helmet.
Hurrrrr!
*scuttles back into the corner of shame, where he belongs*
And I think it's going to be Haddock poached in Milk with leek and samphire, and mashed potatos for my dinner tonight. Yes. That. Lovely. Ace.
oo[s did I omit the german? yeah they're them.
No I was making an innuendo.
Well ok. A rubbish innuendo.
No in your end oh :eek:
I prefer mine cute and fuzzy!

Someone just figured out how to file a batch of weird US tax returns. :p
I tried to get a mortgage that would have me out of debt only eight years later, but in April they introduced new regulations that meant the bank weren't allowed to offer me anything faster than ten years, so the existing offer got revised.Quote:
