Not a chance. Tell him to go to a cash machine and get your money while he's at it.

Anyway what are you doing working on Sunday's?

i work frid to sunday night shift security work,  rest of the week w/c  i sleep sat night and fresh for sun work  ;D
reason i work sundays is that it is quieter in the town centre on sundays, and the domestic are in build up areas where the traffic is high and almost impossible to work during the week

A firm i worked for had a cleaner that loaned money off all the office staff and didnt pay any back, he also ordered aload of stuff from catalogues which they were using at christmas he never paid back, the boss ended up paying it all back to keep contract

Jouk, How can you lend/give somebody money to buy something that's gonna kill him? Did you know it's illegal in this country to assist somebody to commit suicide?
You could get 14 years bird for this mate ::) ;D
