No real friend would put you in that position, that's what I think.
Family yes but friends no. You're going to lose your friends one way or the other so better it costs nowt. |

Its always been the same with a lot of people they ask fast enough but wont offer back until ask them for it , and if you have a few quid you dont really want to leave someone short by them paying you back a few quid.
Like do wah says though if they can afford st dishes cars etc they should be paying you back I have to admit i have been late a few times in the past from friends and family when i borrowed but always let them know i hadnt forgot about it. |

Best way to play Golden Balls is steal
if you share and they steal your fooked you both steal you lose If you share and they steal your fooked but if you steal and they share , give the other person 50% of it for not being a greedy fecker |

nasty program was golden balls.
people used to be almost physically sick when then realised they had been 'turned over' it's no wonder it was dropped |

after being 'stung' a few times for relatively small amounts in my 20's, that I would rather put my balls in a vice than borrow anyone money again.
haven't 'borrowed' anyone a bean in the last 30 years and never will. my stock answer goes along the lines of..."love to help you mate but you know how things are..." however will stand someone a few pints if I'm enjoying their company..just for entertainment value..but never give cash! |

Thanks Do wah, they are not related to me, relatives are often the worst. They are the son and daughter-in-law of a neighbour and were living with his mother. There was a lot of tension and they needed to get out. They genuinely needed the money as they couldn't borrow enough from the bank so I took a chance. They could have turned me over but they didn't. |

Borrowing or lending money to "friends" destroys friendships.

Yes it's true. A bit like gambling, never lend more than you can afford to lose.
Sometimes you just know it will be alright, other times you smell a rat. I don't advise others to do it, nor do I advise them to gamble on here. |
|
By:
Most I lent a "friend" was 1000 and when he made no attempt to pay me back, despite all the assurances when I lent him it, I went and chapped his door every week until he had paid back the full amount in installments. No way would I let someone off with a large amount. Not just the money but the principle of it.

Don't need to these days. When I was much younger I needed help and always paid it back. Point of honour. |

By:
I did get a small bank loan for a lady friend and got stung. She repaid the first 6 installments and then done a bunk to England. I had to repay outstanding balance + interest. Later heard that she had serious debt problems due to gambling. Her house was repossessed and she lost the lot. I know she didn`t set out to screw me (ha,ha,ha) and probably had every intention to pay the loan back, but everything spiraled out of control due to gambling. I forgive her and don`t bear her any grudges.
