VODs require login. Even still, from the station that brought you last night's racist bilge, I wouldn't p1ss on them if they were on fire right now. At any rate, I'm not asking for any opening of hearts or any other such platitude. How about just starting by leaving me the f#ck alone when I am out in public doing something mundane, not treating me like a zoo animal or potential criminal or asking me the same stupid five questions. That would be a good start.

PS, I'm sorry if I sound angry, I actually respect your manner on this board and a lot of your opinions, but even you must see this for the load of chutzpah it is.

Not long, mate, not long. Shouldn't you be teaching, BTW?

This thread is not going to jibe well with the Neanderthals in our posting crowd.

I'd love for them to open their BANKING system to us first.

Must be pretty humbling for such humans to have to study the international language of monkeys or to have 10 monkey nations above them in the world's rich list.

Pfft, isn't it like 12 now? I expect to see that slip more and more.

it might even cause them to feel insecure or lose face over it?

What exactly is wrong with the banking system bit? I know about not being able to use debit cards overseas, but that's it, right?

Crappy, rude service. Zero English info about what options you have (friend told me last night that you can open an investment account and make about %3 or 4% a month), no international debit cards, and dodgy info about getting a credit card.

You forgot them trying not to allow us to use internet banking too. And stamping how much we transfer out of the country in our passport (though I never allow them to do this)! That alone is craptastic.
