But, hey, give the man credit...

[mrph]

Ok, I've gone and done it. After moaning, weeping, wailing and ranting about the damn things for years, I've gone and applied for a credit card.

This should test my willpower. Or expand my CD collection. 'Cos I can now finally order a load of the stuff that's not distributed in the UK - Gossamer, Temple of Rain, The Awakening, Doctor Kevorkian and the Suicide Machine, the Red Flag "Fear of a Red Planet" stuff...

And I won't have to deal with the ludicrous "what do you mean you have no credit card?!" cash deposits that German hotels seem to impose. There may also be a mobile phone lurking in the nearish future...
