Almighty, everlasting God,
we beg of You to help us soon to pay off our debts to our fellowmen.
Give us strength and courage to persevere until the last penny is
paid.
Give patience to those to whom we are in debt,
and let them not treat us unjustly.
Help us have great confidence in You and in the workings of Your
providence,
trusting that You will always direct things to our greatest good.

Make us also fully realize that no debt to our fellowmen
can begin to equal the debt that we owe You on account of our sins,
to say nothing of the immense debt we owe You
for the gifts of Your Divine grace.
These we could never pay at all but for the coming of Your Son,
our Lord, Jesus Christ.
To Him be all honor and thanksgiving, now and forever.

Amen.

O God, make me know the difference
Between black and red
And give me the courage not to be so greedy
That I sacrifice the house for some alloy trim wheels
And deliver me from the debt collector
And the invitation to get another credit card
Teach me the value of the decimal point
And have me make an effort now and then.

I do the Lotto by direct debit.  I did not go to bed until 07.00 and then 
only for 2 hours.

I opened a letter from the Lotto which told be I had won what I thought was 
£59,000.  I had eyes like dogs bollocks and what I had actually won was 
£59.00.  For an hour I thought I was £59.000 the richer and told a few close 
relatives of this.  I was in fact on the phone when I became aware of my 
mistake.

The £59.00 was great don't get me wrong, but the shine was somewhat taken 
off my win.

It is surprising though the amount of jackpot winners that I know or know 
of.

That's the worst use of DD I've heard of. I may buy a ticket in one week, 
on the other hand, I might not.

Luckily, you didn't go out and buy a new sports car.

There was once a story that someone bought a ticket with the same numbers
as the called jackpot. When watching the evening news with his wife, he
then switched over to a video from previous week...cruel!

A few weeks back I had 5 numbers up on Lotto :-))

One was the Bonus number which meant nothing :-((

The payout on 4 numbers was the lowest for yonks, £44.00 :-((

Luck of the draw :-))

But even 5 numbers payouts are not that great; only around £1000 unless
you also have the bonus number. 

The prizes deliberately favours 3 and 6 matching numbers; 3 numbers to 
get you hooked and 6 numbers as the carrot.

My once and only 'big' prize was £65.00 for 4 numbers. But great fun to
claim the money from the stingy corner shop.

I just noticed your sig Mike.  I know a guy that retired from the Navy not 
long ago.  He served on subs for a long time and I thing he was an 
electrician or radio operator (don't know if they call them that on subs). 
Once when he was home on leave I had a pint with him and he told me he had 
to go and pick up some electrical components, from this reputable shop, to 
take back with him on the sub.

I asked him how strange it all seemed when one considers the cost of nuclear 
submarines, but he told me it made his job a hell of a lot easier because 
the Navy was hopeless when it came to requisitioning the parts.  I have 
heard of men taking paint scrapers to scrape out pans in the galley but this 
seemed incredible.  At the time it was very amusing owing to the way he told 
it.

Does this make any sense to you or have you heard similar, maybe it is 
common practice ?

Don't know about that, but when I had my factories, a person in Customer 
Support in a very well known and large Electronics Company said it was 
easier and quicker for him to get work done by us, than raise a Job Order 
Sheet or whatever they called them and have the job done in house!

Amen!! I'd like to know what gives them the right to be a constant

would he recruit like this I wonder? Why? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

O God, make me know the difference
Between black and red
And give me the courage not to be so greedy
That I sacrifice the house for some alloy trim wheels
And deliver me from the debt collector
And the invitation to get another credit card
Teach me the value of the decimal point
And have me make an effort now and then.

I do the Lotto by direct debit.  I did not go to bed until 07.00 and then 
only for 2 hours.

I opened a letter from the Lotto which told be I had won what I thought was 
£59,000.  I had eyes like dogs bollocks and what I had actually won was 
£59.00.  For an hour I thought I was £59.000 the richer and told a few close 
relatives of this.  I was in fact on the phone when I became aware of my 
mistake.

The £59.00 was great don't get me wrong, but the shine was somewhat taken 
off my win.

It is surprising though the amount of jackpot winners that I know or know 
of.

That's the worst use of DD I've heard of. I may buy a ticket in one week, 
on the other hand, I might not.

Luckily, you didn't go out and buy a new sports car.

There was once a story that someone bought a ticket with the same numbers
as the called jackpot. When watching the evening news with his wife, he
then switched over to a video from previous week...cruel!

A few weeks back I had 5 numbers up on Lotto :-))

One was the Bonus number which meant nothing :-((

The payout on 4 numbers was the lowest for yonks, £44.00 :-((

Luck of the draw :-))

I just noticed your sig Mike.  I know a guy that retired from the Navy not 
long ago.  He served on subs for a long time and I thing he was an 
electrician or radio operator (don't know if they call them that on subs). 
Once when he was home on leave I had a pint with him and he told me he had 
to go and pick up some electrical components, from this reputable shop, to 
take back with him on the sub.

I asked him how strange it all seemed when one considers the cost of nuclear 
submarines, but he told me it made his job a hell of a lot easier because 
the Navy was hopeless when it came to requisitioning the parts.  I have 
heard of men taking paint scrapers to scrape out pans in the galley but this 
seemed incredible.  At the time it was very amusing owing to the way he told 
it.

Does this make any sense to you or have you heard similar, maybe it is 
common practice ?

| Psst God... the lotto numbers, u know...?

I do the Lotto by direct debit.  I did not go to bed until 07.00 and then 
only for 2 hours.

I opened a letter from the Lotto which told be I had won what I thought was 
£59,000.  I had eyes like dogs bollocks and what I had actually won was 
£59.00.  For an hour I thought I was £59.000 the richer and told a few close 
relatives of this.  I was in fact on the phone when I became aware of my 
mistake.

The £59.00 was great don't get me wrong, but the shine was somewhat taken 
off my win.

It is surprising though the amount of jackpot winners that I know or know 
of.

That's the worst use of DD I've heard of. I may buy a ticket in one week, 
on the other hand, I might not.

Luckily, you didn't go out and buy a new sports car.

There was once a story that someone bought a ticket with the same numbers
as the called jackpot. When watching the evening news with his wife, he
then switched over to a video from previous week...cruel!

A few weeks back I had 5 numbers up on Lotto :-))

One was the Bonus number which meant nothing :-((

The payout on 4 numbers was the lowest for yonks, £44.00 :-((

Luck of the draw :-))

But even 5 numbers payouts are not that great; only around £1000 unless
you also have the bonus number. 

The prizes deliberately favours 3 and 6 matching numbers; 3 numbers to 
get you hooked and 6 numbers as the carrot.

My once and only 'big' prize was £65.00 for 4 numbers. But great fun to
claim the money from the stingy corner shop.

I just noticed your sig Mike.  I know a guy that retired from the Navy not 
long ago.  He served on subs for a long time and I thing he was an 
electrician or radio operator (don't know if they call them that on subs). 
Once when he was home on leave I had a pint with him and he told me he had 
to go and pick up some electrical components, from this reputable shop, to 
take back with him on the sub.

I asked him how strange it all seemed when one considers the cost of nuclear 
submarines, but he told me it made his job a hell of a lot easier because 
the Navy was hopeless when it came to requisitioning the parts.  I have 
heard of men taking paint scrapers to scrape out pans in the galley but this 
seemed incredible.  At the time it was very amusing owing to the way he told 
it.

Does this make any sense to you or have you heard similar, maybe it is 
common practice ?

Don't know about that, but when I had my factories, a person in Customer 
Support in a very well known and large Electronics Company said it was 
easier and quicker for him to get work done by us, than raise a Job Order 
Sheet or whatever they called them and have the job done in house!
