A japanese buddhist monk was on tv this morning, called Mr Happiness, he raps his prayers/messages rather than traditional mantra style.. the japanese youth love the idea

Japanese are the friendliest people I have ever met. I was a real surprise to me

On Radio 4 yesterday a buddhist monk very eloquently explained the difference between what a person needs and what a person wants.

Having ones needs met leads to happiness
Ones wants tend to lead to unhappiness.

We should remember that in our lives. I will try to.

I worked for them once too.

And I know exactly what your missus means..

But there are harder faced businesses than them out there, I can tell you.

*cough*cap1*cough*

The problem is not just hard faced, it is also being clueless as to how to manage a situation.

I think that they have fitted a revolving door there now as they are losing so many of their SMT.

I worked for Experian once, my wife still calls them the grinch that stole Christmas

Oh Dear, never work for the likes of Experian and Equifax* then...

*Or their customers, for that matter...

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I accept that.

But I don't want to live in a society where professionals take that viewpoint.

Which leads to the logical conclusion that where gaining a profit is concerned, ethics and morals have no place.

But that will make for a very tulipty world indeed.

Why should people - who can feel pain and suffering - be subservient to the desire of organisations to make money? We would be worse off than under the feudal system; at least there one could appeal to the King.

Welcome to reality.

What do you think Banks, Insurance Companies, Supermarkets etc. do? FFS, it's the way business works.

thankyou for a candid answer

I have also been tempted by the:

'Look at scrap gold on eBay, you can get some at good prices. Also look for gold jewellery, this can go for far less than the scrap price.'


but my worry with buying scrap from éBay is that, as they put it in 'Snatch', I wouldn't know if it is moody gold or not

That's not the sort of society I'd like to live in.

So stupid people deserve to be ripped off?

Are you talking about middle class Labour voters?

Only fair.

To be fair though, if you fall for the cowboy TV adverts these gold by post companies use then you probably deserve to be parted from your cash
