A short film

I liked the demonic voice.

"Go back on the net, or theres nothing in it for me"

Very Stephen King ish.....

I know there were a fair few of my customers in the same predicament when Man Utd lost. Or the ultimate win for the bookie......Greece beating Portugal in the Euro 2004 final (1/3 to 4/9). St Louis winning the Superbowl in 2000 (-7.5 points on the Handicap or 1/3 on the match bet). Istabraq loosing against Pridwell at Aintree in 1999 (4/9 Fav beaten), and many more besides on the gambling front. We'd lose, the boss would moan, but it was always a case of the house always wins long term. The whole principle being......."Never kill, just milk, and keep milking".

Once we knew the reason for the losses, we'd do reports that would make Kenny from Southpark (ahem, who killed Kenny) look honest on the spin machine. Life went on.

I should be sympathetic, but to be honest, I was too busy bouncing round the office with a ciggie, a bottle of Chateau Vino Collapso, singing Freddie Mercury off key. I know what its like to be Barry, but I lived vegetarian and roll my owns to get out of that. Bills first, fun second. But not anyone can do that.

And as for Barry, pray for him.

As for Barry, learn from him.

Don't be paying bookies clerks their annual bonuses.

You have lived the exotic life, haven't you.

I still do. Its a pathetic attempt to convince people that I actually do have a life, and I'm not an anorak.

I havent had any good tips recently to help people get into debt, although I feel the temptation to head up to the casino and racetrack next weekend.

Apart from Thomas J Stamp and his usual descent into ego driven, attention seeking posts, I'd like to thank those who have expressed positive opinions on this short film.

Tosser? Plank?

Hardly ground breaking John, but I take your point. That particular post was directed at a viewer who misrepresented the thread on another message board.

Thats mild language compared to the stuff kids use these days. It might have been regarded as obscene 20 or 30 years ago, but they've only become mild terms of abuse ever since the advent of comedies such as "Only Fools and Horses".

That bunch of posts on IRN will go down in their history as their greatest own goal.

"Debt" has been invited to screen at the St George short Film and Video Festival in New Brunswick, Canada.
