I'm Sure you can Paypal one of us and we'll pass it on, mrchrus. I'll do it if you want :)

No, I just don't bother with online access to our bank account - I lost my access keycard thing and Mrs K does it on the odd occasion it's needed (paying for builders or whatever). To be honest I haven't bothered checking what's in our bank account or looking at a bank statement for quite a few years now.


MrsA does all the household banking and tells me when we need to stop boozing.

Nom it is best MrsK does it. Then she'll know what the price of freedom is and use that to have leverage over Kissyfur. This will make his existence slightly less comfortable and cause me some amusement.

If only you had someone who would be happy presenting it?

It's not necessarily appalling security, but if they've decided there's an issue, it's then a long old slog to be able to use it again. It took me 3 months to get them to let me use my paypal account after I tried to send TheVision £2 for the rumble sweepstake and they decided it was gambling (which technically it is, I guess).

Overzealous is perhaps a better word. It got locked for some reason not known to me, and has since resisted any attempts for me to unlock it.

Yep. Despite me having a verified business account and having jumped through a million hoops already, they decided to request another bunch of identification earlier this year, some of which I didn't have because it didn't apply. Even though they admitted on the phone it didn't apply, they couldn't remove it from the account. :facepalm:

Took a lot of phone calls to put right, during which I lost business. >:(

And the SomethingAwful forums held a donation drive for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and forum members collectively raised something like $30,000 in one day - PayPal froze the account and refused to give money back or anything

Finances looking pretty good now for no extra charge, or at most about five quid or so each, though that doesn't take into account any stuff for the cottage like loo roll or dishwasher stuff or food.

TheVision, I have now seen the posts about your Dad in the Nay thread.

I hope that I haven't in any way come across as insensitive, and my thoughts are with you and your family.

Don't worry all, as it stands I am coming to the cottage so consider me confirmed. I admit, I haven't paid yet but I shall sort that in the next day or two all being well.

Given my 'efforts' to get that game to you, I shall be thoroughly lenient on payment timescales.

I suspect that will be £95, good sir. Several people leave on Sunday night, presumably to get out of doing the tidying ;)

125 by bank transfer it is!

The only discount that should ever apply to paying by cheque would be to have the number of toes you have discounted to the tune of one.
