THE PEOPLE WHO WHO STEAL ON GOLDEN BALLS
You've lost me there Do wah
You've lost me there Do wah
I DONT KNOW HER ,WHATS SHE GOT TO DO WITH IT ALL .
Foinavon it's a show where the climax revolved around 2 competitors playing a scissors papers stone type game that gives them the opportunity to share the jackpot or steal it from the other. If they both choose share they both get half. If one chooses steal and the other chooses share, the stealer wins.
And I agree with Do Wah. To steal is just wrong in that scenario.

Sounds like the prisoner's dilemma. Haven't seen it but it sounds interesting.
When is it on?

The show was cancelled about four years ago, I met the producer around that time who said they still had about 20 shows in the can & once they have been shown the show was being scrapped as it had in his words become morally bankrupt.
There must have been some very upset competitors. Brings out the psycho in people.
FOINAVON THERE WAS ONE LADY WITH A ROSE IN HER HAIR FROM LIVERPOOL WHO PLEADED TO A YOUNG GIRL COMPETITOR TO SHARE AS SHE WAS IN A LOAD OF DEBT AND THE MONEY WOULD PAY OFF HER DEBTS AND THE YOUNG GIRL PROMISED SHE WOULD BUT THE YOUNG GIRL STOLE IT
A few years before Goldenballs started there was another new quiz compared by Robert Kilroy Silk called Shafted, this consisted of an actual quiz leaving two players at the end who then played the same ending as in Goldenballs, the show was cancelled after three shows after the furore of someone stealing all the money & people being outraged, yet Goldenballs lasted 288 episodes 
Thinking about it, it's logical to steal.
You can't do anything about what the other person decides to do and if they steal you get nothing regardless so best go for broke.

THE YOUNG GIRL SAID OH I THOUGHT YOU WAS GOING TO STEAL IT ,THATS WHAT ALL THEY ALL SAY AS AN EXCUSE
I WOULD SHARE AND THEN WHEN THE OTHER PERSON DOES ME I GET INTO A TANTRUM AND CANT COPE,I USED TO LEND PEOPLE MONEY KNOWING THAT I WOULDNT GET IT BACK OR WOULD HAVE TROUBLE GETTING IT BACK ,BUT I WANTED THEM TO PROOVE ME WRONG AND THINK THAT THEY WOULD THINK I WILL NEVER LET DO WAH DIDDY DOWN AS HE HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME
You're a nice guy Do wah, I would pay you back with interest.
I WANTED TO DO THEM A FAVOUR ,BUT I WAS NOT ONLY UPSET THAT I DIDNT GET THE MONEY BACK ,BUT THEY USED ME
288 episodes is a lot Pumphol. You would think it would degenerate into everyone trying to steal and nobody getting paid.
On the first ever show the two people left openly discussed sharing the money, one said to the other I'll share & you steal that way your win the money & we will share it after, they both agreed & that was what happened, after that the producers nipped that in the bud & would not allow contestants to go down that route, hence there were very few shares on the programme probably around 10% at a guess.
It's happened to us all Do wah, you just have to rise above it.
One bloke I know borrowed some money off me to back a horse.
It's still running as far as I know.

THE BEST ADVICE I EVER GOT WAS OFF ALL THE ALCOHOLICS AT A A WHEN I LISTENED ,AND THEY SAID I WAS PART TO BLAME FOR LENDING THEM IT ,THEY ALSO SAID DONT LEND ANYTHING UNLESS YOU THINK YOU CAN COPE WITH THEM NOT GIVEING IT YOU BACK ,THAT HELPED ME ALOT ,THEN WHEN SOMEONE ASKED ME FOR 10 POUND I THOUGHT I WONT GET IT BACK BUT SHOULD I LEND HIM THAT KNOWING THAT AND I SAID YES TO MYSELF ,BUT WHEN HE CAME BACK THE NEXT WEEK FOR TWENTY POUNDS I SAID NO
Good on you Do wah
If someone asks me to lend them £10 I say, no, I'll give to £10 but don't ask again, that's the bargain.

That's a lot of money Do Wah.
The most I've ever lent was £2000 to a young couple scraping together a deposit for a house. I said it was for a year, no interest. They gave it back in full on the dot.

IVE GOT TO GO NOW BECAUSE ILL START WANTING TO KILL PEOPLE AGAIN AND IT IGHT TAKE ME BACK TO ALCOHOL SEE YOU AGAIN
If you go back drinking you won't be able to afford anything anymore. Be sensible and look after your money, don't flush it away.
I gave my mate a lot of money Diddy, we were at school together at Dulwich and played rugby together. I never saw him again.
WELL DONE SLIPPY FOR BEING ABLE TO COPE WITH IT ,AND NOT GOING TO THE PUB EVERYTIME YOU PASS THEIR HOUSE AND SEE THEIR SATTALITE DISH ON THEIR HOUSE

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.

WHEN YOUR POORLY AND YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE TAKING YOU FOR A MUG IT WAS MY STYLE OF THINKING,IM GLAD I DONT THINK LIKE THAT THESE DAYS ,WHEN YOUR MENTALLY UNSTABLE IT ALOT WORSE THAN BEING PHTSICALLY POORLY ,,I ONLY THOUGHT THEM FEELINGS I DIDNT ACT UPON THEM ,
THEY DIDNT HAVE TO BE A FRIEND THEY JUST NEEDED TO BE SOMEONE WHO NEEDED A FAVOUR
I FEEL OK NOW THAT YOUVE TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR SELF AND THE YOUNG COUPLE WITH THEIR HOUSE,I JUST HOPE THEY DONT GET DEVORCED ,NIGHT NIGHT
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.

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.

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.
