I love her voice

Quote: Lee @ August 16 2012, 5:09 PM BSTBloody charity collector just knocked at my door, seeing as I'm not doing much with myself lately and out of boredom I let her do her speech and it wasn't because she was a pretty girl and she kept pointing at her boobs, I mean the logo on her shirt.
But we talked about the cancer research they were doing and the great advances in treatments and we even talked about the weather and the town and where she's from and all that.
And then I said, I'm sorry, I'd love to donate but I've just lost my job and I'm not really in a position to be donating right now. And the moment I finished that sentence she f**king turned around and was like "Ok then bye".
What a f**king bitch!

Quote: Harridan @ August 16 2012, 5:28 PM BSTIn fairness to her, she probably works on commission (some of them don't get anything other than commission) and while she could have been more sensitive you did just tie her up for a while with no intenton of donating. If she stopped and had a long chat with everyone who wasn't interested she wouldn't make a wage.
Oh, I know they work on commission, I gathered that by her quick exit.
But I didn't ask her to spend 15 minutes explaining what she was doing. She knocked on my door and wouldn't shut up. She told me I look like a scientist... I'm not sure if that was a compliment or not. But no one has ever said that to me, I kinda liked it. I suppose the long scruffy beard I'm currently sporting helps that image. I only wish I had thought of the line "I like the science of biology 
" But it was too late...

Lee, when a pretty charity worker calls at your door, don't say you're broke, say your wife just died from whatever it is she's collecting for, start crying and invite her in...

But she might discover all the other bodies.

Come on! it's not like you just thought she was a nice girl who liked talking about cancer with bearded strangers! She's not going to hang around for a chat after she knows she's wasting her time - nice as she might have been, she needs to pay the bills and chatting to you won't get her there.
Quote: Harridan @ August 16 2012, 6:13 PM BSTCome on!
What? Where are we going?
Quote: Lee @ August 16 2012, 6:25 PM BSTWhat? Where are we going?
A strip club. At least they'll take off their clothes before they realise you ain't donating.

Well as long as I don't have to setup a direct debit with them.
Quote: Lee @ August 16 2012, 6:02 PM BSTShe knocked on my door and wouldn't shut up.
That's all the justification you need to waste her time. Just because she's collecting for 'charity' doesn't make her any less of scumbag and what exactly is she trying to sell you? That's right, guilt. Give me some money you bastard or you are worse then Satan.
On the flip side, only trying to chat up birds who knock at your door is extremely lazy and your final chat up line of 'Sorry I'm skint' ain't gonna cut it with the ladies of today.

Joyce I believed the credit card company was responsible for any fraud/ liability incurred? why are you not covered by this?
Yup...a very nice man called Raj told me he was on to them and I should ignore the amounts on my statement and another card would be sent to me.
On a lighter note, we all went for a meal and on to the cinema to see Brave today. It was amazingly lovely and I cried about four times. I always cry at cartoons and my kids always try to look round each other at me to see if I have tears running down my cheeks. Then they laugh at me for being so silly.
Oh...and the cinema is a very old fashioned little one with a cute balcony. It doesn't take cards...just cash and there are about 3 members of staff. So traditional...and quaint.
Anyway, yes, me/boyfriend/son/three daughters had a brill time and went shopping in the 99p shop afterwards. I have the best life.

Excellent! Whereabouts is it?
Quote: zooo @ August 16 2012, 6:55 PM BSTExcellent! Whereabouts is it?
It's in Folkestone (Silver Screen)! The guy who manages it is so committed to keeping it traditional. You go up some stairs from the street and you're in the small foyer. You buy your ticket and get some packets of popcorn (no posh machines) and then hand over your cash. Two doors opposite each other lead to two separate theatre rooms. One has a balcony and is a bit larger than the other. We couldn't sit in the 'Gods' today as there are renovations going on in the building, but usually it's amazing and never packed, 'cos lots of people want to take their kids to a massive cinema complex these days. Such a shame.
Come on...you thought I was gonna say it was in my house and I make the kids view the films from the landing through binoculars. You did.
Hehe!
That sounds sooo nice. We had one like that near us when I was little, but it closed when I was about 8.
