BBC News - Church plans to 'compete' Wonga out of business

So the Church of England planning to challenge Payday Loan lenders and loan sharks in general. While it is a really nice gesture and they actually have some pretty nice plans in place, I'm not sure if it is really sustainable for them given that the admin costs alone of short term loans will mean that they can only lose money on it. Personally if they are campaigning for what is morally right then surely they should instead be lobbying the Government to legislate for a proper living wage.

Still, from my personal secular point of view, actual positive news coming from the Church of England for a very long time is always nice news and they should be praised for it. They really, really should be. It shows, if nothing else, that when we have a Government that is unwilling to act on important issues there are others willing to step up and do the right thing. I wish them every success.

Today at the doctor's office: "You basically have a fungus growing on you because you sweat too much."

Yay for the mile hike between home and the office in this weather. That's sure to help.

You need to make sure you wash in the folds of your skin.

Look at what you are wearing as well. Tight clothes and materials that don't breathe trap in sweat and since it can't evaporate thorough the material, it just stays there on you.

There's really not much to be done after trekking a mile through the weather around here other than taking a shower.

They gave me some stuff that's supposed to help kill it off though, so it'll be fine.

Customer died on the front porch area thingy of our store yesterday. People didn't like the "Our prices are dropping faster than our customers" joke.

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

what kind of outfit are you traveling to and from work in? You could try layers; get a sport-wear underlayer designed to get sweat away from your skin, and even with your work clothes on on top of it you may find yourself much more comfortable.

Or at least less disgusting

Today on the way to work I saw a bumper sticker of Domo-kun mounting a sheep.

Okay. Do you consider oral sex, well, sex? Was having a conversation with a friend about it. Personally, don't count it as such.

Discuss. Or moderate my post if it's too racy. Whichever.

It's foreplay, in my book, which is a precursor to sex, but not sex. But I'd define it under "sexual activity" if you want to use the catch-all term "sexually active" because it involves sex organs but it isn't sex in and of itself.

But that doesn't mean that it's not cheating though, which is not something you brought up but people think that just because something "isn't sex" that it isn't cheating. Yes the fuck it is, you don't have some sort of sexual encounter with someone and it not be cheating.
