Re: debt in uk
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around at St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a-time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, ah yeah
(whoo whoo, whoo whoo)
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens (whoo whoo)
Fought for ten decades (whoo whoo)
For the gods they made (whoo whoo)
I shouted out, (whoo whoo)
"Who killed the Kennedys?" (whoo whoo)
When after all (whoo whoo)
It was you and me (whoo whoo)
Let me please introduce myself (whoo whoo)
I'm a man of wealth and taste (whoo whoo)
And I laid traps for troubadours (whoo whoo)
Who get killed before they reached Bombay (whoo whoo, whoo whoo)
Pleased to meet you (whoo whoo)
Hope you guessed my name, (whoo whoo) oh yeah (whoo whoo)
But what's puzzling you (whoo whoo)
Is the nature of my game(whoo whoo), oh yeah, get down, baby (whoo whoo)
(whoo whoo, whoo whoo)
(whoo whoo)
(whoo whoo)
(whoo whoo) ..........
Pleased to meet you (whoo whoo)
Hope you guessed my name, (whoo whoo) oh yeah (whoo whoo)
But what's confusing you (whoo whoo)
Is just the nature of my game (whoo whoo) um yeah (whoo whoo)
Just as every cop is a criminal (whoo whoo)
And all the sinners saints (whoo whoo)
As heads is tails (whoo whoo)
Just call me Lucifer (whoo whoo)
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint (whoo whoo)
So if you meet me (whoo whoo)
Have some courtesy (whoo whoo)
Have some sympathy, (whoo whoo) and some taste (whoo whoo)
Use all your well-learned politesse (whoo whoo)
Or I'll lay your(whoo whoo) soul to waste,(whoo whoo), um yeah (whoo whoo)
Pleased to meet you (whoo whoo)
Hope you guessed my name, (whoo whoo) um yeah (whoo, whoo)
But what's puzzling you (whoo whoo)
Is the nature of my game, (whoo whoo) um mean it, (whoo whoo) get down
Hope that helps! Probably one of the best songs they ever did, that and Mothers little helper.

Re: debt in uk
Just thought I'd post to say that there are people in the UK who are in a shit state, with kids and just one wage to support the family.
Money used from credit cards is often used to buy food shopping, as the monthly wage is often just enough for the mortgage and bills and transport money. Credit cards are becoming more and more of a neccessity than used for luxury holidays, fur coats and to put behind the bar for a night out.
Some people scam the government by saying they have split up so th woman doesn't have to worry about the mortgage and the husband secretly lives there, and they get benefits because of the lie told.
Lots of people with credit cards are just trying to live the truthful way, by not scamming th government, and really just want a better life for themselves and their children.
With extortionate charges I have alot of sympathy for people like this.
They are just trying to survive, and look for a better life, as many of you have realised, the UK (London particularly) has a shit standard of living.
stuckinblighty, good on you for asking.

I am on another thread on this at the moment but coming at it from the 'benefit scounger' side, the system is there as a safeguard for the genuinely needy, unfortunately some of the less savoury elements have taken the 'blank cheque' approach....to the detriment of all.

To the second question, no it will not affect your credit rating in australia.
send me a PM if you want to chat about it.
