I wonder if either Emad or Astro would loan me 5k

All you need is ASK. There you go, buddy!

Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

money is just paper unless it alolows you to do the things that make you happy.

OK, you're not into lending - I can appreciate that point of view. So wouldn't just giving me 5 grand make you happy?

An old work colleague always used to tell me ....

"you're not spending money, you're buying memories" .......never a truer word said.

Spot on. Of course, you must have the money to afford these type of memories, but yes, absolutely agree.

Nope - sorry giving money away never makes me happy unless its to something I consider a worthwhile cause - I help fund a student in Africa for instance. A young girl who needs help to acheive her dreams. I donate to various charities regularly.

Giving money to people on here who can afford a computer and a telescope woulodnt really make me feel good because you would feel terrible about it knowing that someone could have had clean drinking water and an education and I would hate for you to feel that bad - so I couldnt give the money. It would be a sin to give someone so much bad karma.

All my computers, clothes, scope & accessories have been donated.( including the Delos) Northampton is also a very poor town, so It sounds like I qualify more than ever
