Micro Credit:

Posted by: Berlin Fritz on 11 November 2006

Chaps! This is a subject that has fascinated me for some years now and I think in essence highlights one of the finer traits in human nature. I believe it originated in Bangladesh, having progressed now to many other Asian & African regions bringing real hope, dignity, & self -respect to millions of people on the ground (NOW). Bill Clinton to Sir Bob have mentioned it on occassion (noticably not Brown etc though). Don't confuse this with the Muslim Banking methods which do not allow interest to be involved (God forbid literally) and obviously the likes of Our Mick and other IFA's would be terrified of them because they'd have absolutely no control over their victims (sorry clients), innit*



Fritz Von A subject that should be investigated I feel, as in reality as the Majority of the Western World gets poorer in its greed to compensate others having clean drinking water and a bit of rice now and again, such micro-credits or variations upon the same theme many may well 'have' to be utilised in Our little world too, the obvious and unfortunate alternative being what until now mankind has always adopted, namely, WAR*


Happy Days*


P.S. Great to see that Our Deano & his mates will always have a bed on Hyde Park Corner from today on innit*

A pointer I made very early on in my Padded Cell attendance was that being a young Londoner I'd experienced much anti-Semitism & racism though didn't really know what it meant, as with Polish friends now (two of who'm I've been ´drinking with this evening) are aware of Poland's war crimes in WWII as well, and not too mention Norway's hypocrisy post War bulshit as well.



Goodnight.


Look in the Mirror tomorrow Chaps and be honest with yourselves for once*

Our Mick greedily getting as many down him as possible during happy hour at the gluepot*

Fritz Von Cheers for that Yunus info Chaps, I knew I'd heard that name somewhere before (iirc?), just think he'll get a million squid for lending people money, Our Mick should get his UK microcredits going too, rehabilitating junkie prisoners for instance or running an interest free housing scheme in Plymouth or Liverpool*

As with Ginny Wayde, he's still doing his best, and besides the young pretender he's the best we've got, note who'll soon be considered British British British and not Scottish when he wins a few bigguns, which he will in the future.


Fritz Von Skinheads are deemed scum for wearing Fred Perry kit, I wonder why that is then?

3,500 Russians die every month apparently from mickey mouse vodka (an African problem too if I recall), horrific stuff indeedy*


Fritz Von Who's visited the NAZI underground hospital on Jersey then?

P.S. You'd think the British Government would have complained about the concentration camps (KZ in German) long before the war started really wouldn't you? (Well Mosely at least).

our footie team is crap our rugby team even worse and as for the ashes coming back with our cricket team,dont make me laugh !
we are really going to show ourselves up when we hold the olympics as were crap at track n field also.
so heres the question...why?
heres my reasoning SCHOOLS yep we dont play enough sport at school. what reasons do you think why we are so pathetic at sport.
scotty


As a large majority of local school/authority playing fields across the UK have been lapped up for a snippet by Our Mick and his Chums, never to be returned to their original use, it's hardly surprising issit. Hackney Marshes will be er, PFI 'developed' for the Olympics wrecking thousands of 'poor' Londoners weekend football teams etc,purely for greed*



Fritz Von �25 to drive into the Smoke, cheap at the price John.


Perhaps the question here should be! Why are the Germans so bloody good at Sport?"

P.S. Nice to see that Blair finds giving evidence to the yanks more important than to his own Parliament, innit. he's starting to struggle & wriggle now I feel, and he will not make 10 years, Oh Dear*


I wonder what nice new idea Dr Reid will come up with next then to help the junkies?

N.B. My Hackney/Romney Marshes example above works like this Chaps. At present (as for hundreds of years) it is common land for the common man to play upon (been there many a time with my planes etc), it will be er, developed via a PFI scheme (paid for by the taxpayer) a'la Wemberlee, hospitals, schools, etc, etc, on 30 year increasingly expensive contracts paid for by you (not marked as debt in Brown figures either Hundreds of Billions Chaps to-date). When it's er, developed (never mind the interim period where no play can occurr) and the Olympics are over, you can play on your fields again if you pay for the privelege (as with many ex-playing fields to-date. This is the real Mick's dream you pay twice for your own property, perhaps micrcredits could be had to be able to buy an entrance ticket to the grassy bits?

Cushty innit*

As mentioned afore, though I will say it again, Britain's street Junkies do not finance the multi million industry (or does somebody here think otherwise?). Middle Class folk from all walks of life including your kids buy dope, extasy for the weekend, speed and God knows whatever else. Around 8 million UK citizens regularly puff on spliffs Man, and millions regularly take tabs of some kind for fun, so stop whingeing about a few folk who've won their cases in a court of law and concentrate on the real villains who abuse and rob your taxes by the Billions on a nationwide undemocratic basis, not to mention sending service folk to their deaths in an illegal warzone!*



Fritz Von Murdoch rules the world as well as this forum it seems*


P.S. Apparently it was a close toss up regarding who's boat would appear on the new British 5 Squid Note, finally though Paul Gasgoine was just pipped to the post by Vinnie Jones (who still thinks he's one of the Kray twins?), Bloody Watford what d'yer expect, prize Pratt²*


Parry for Chancellor*

Whether we do this gradually or all at once will have no effect on the outcome.

So you did vote then Squire!



Fritz Von Well Done*


P.S. The more projects that get funded on the risk-filled gamblng profits of lottery money the less Government has to give to them to fullfill their original duty to do so, eventually ending in no funding at all at all, eh Mick?

Heroin in the UK is not illegal, it's merely controlled, and neither is it highly addictive contrary to popular belief as often covered on this forum over and over again, and now once more as a platform for the usual culprits to make their steriotypical ignorant braindead comments getting nobody nowhere*

Fritz Von You abuse your so-called freedom with downright hypocrisy as part of the hidden agenda you seem to love so much looking down from afar*

I reckon there's more product adverts on this forum lately than Channel bleedin 4, innit*

Millions upon millions of people in the UK are addicted to prescribed drugs me Old Toyboy (mainly women) I suspect that 99% of them didn't inflict it upon themselves John! This stupid simplistic argument is purely about these guys winning money, otherwise it wouldn't be an issue, and smoke-screens the really important problems happenning in British jails today.


Fritz Von UK has Europe's largest inmate population 95% of who'm will one day return to er, society, where is the logic in increasing their hate for the penal system and er, society far more than is normally the case through classic time-serving? I seem to think most of you lot out there seriously believe it's all about Fletch & Mr McKay?

Sad Sad Sad* ABC looks fun too dunnit, I wonder what's coming next week DR Bully boy drunken Reid? (Pity we don't see him in Glasgow on occassion innit)*

The sooner Britain just accepts trial by media the better, it'll save a lot of public money*

Out of Court settlement was most relevant too*


Our Mick's New Bond looks most encouraging***

Well done Our Fredders.


Fritz Von an interesting report on mickey mouse (counterfeit) Russian vodka today (mainly Siberia) where 3,500 are dying horrible deaths monthly. Ones eyes go totally yellow, and the liver is totally poisoned and destroyed, give me Brasso anyday Matey*

Regards,


Fritz the Narrow, though not minded*

N.B. I was watching an old Polish Smith earlier beating a piece of glowing iron into a frying pan, then passing it onto a Master Chef who compared it with a modern Tony job, marvellous stuff, I'm lucky enough to have an old iron jobby too actually, and I treasure it almost as much as my old Stanley chisels (sorry about the advertizing Our Adam).

Fredders me Old soak! On another point, last night whilst doing my rounds (as you do) I met a rather hectic although interesting Chap who filled my head with his music theories. The guy's a piano teacher and small time conductor too (purely classical, though a little Jazz on the side, fretless bass believe it of not 'acaustic') and invited me on thursday night to the Philharmonie to see a Chap called Rudolf Buchbinder who's apparently similar to Victor Borge in his humour and music style? He was telling me how he can explain to laymen the difference between Mozart, Bach etc, all given about two minutes a man so to speak and their evolving styles and how they felt at the time etc.


Fritz Von I am tempted though when he'd buggered off last night and left me paying for the wine that he'd drank I'm a little scepticle about who's paying for the concert tickets. so maybe I'll have to skip it, even though he was a nice Chap etc, I'm not fond of being taken for a ride, especially on my income, I'm sure you're just the same too Matey. (I told him about the current Procal Harem case in London and the Richard Strauß connection too)


Now Our Mick will be laughing heartily no doubt!

N.B. Berlin's Christmas Tree was delivered and erected next to the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church earlier today, an American Pine weighing in at a whopping 32 Metres (the biggest ever).

Dear Fritz,

I understand all too well how a little money is a lot of money when it is all that I, or you, or the next guy has.

I doubt if you need to go to the show, and indeed many are the times when I gently pass up the opportunity for just this sort of thing. Sometimes the petrol for the car or the cost of a train ticket can seem ruinous, regardless of the fact that one get in as someone elses guest and that assumption can be wrong too on occasion...

I was listening to Handel's lovely Organ Concerto in D minor just now. I love the music of Handel, and this is one of his that I played [in the days when I played the string bass in orchestras], and in a church with a real old English Baroque organ, still in good condition. What might surprise some people is that these old English instruments were really not powerful at all, and even were reinforced by employing a string bass (violone) player to keep the bass line audible on times! Which is very different to the organs Bach had access too. It seems amazing to me that the two countries had such different organs! I have no idea why I wrote that for you, but it was what I was thinking, so I hope you don't mind.

Kindest regards from Fredrik

That's very nice Our Fredders thank you for that Son. I've just returned home and had a few reminscent drinks for an old aqquaintance of mine who was found dead in his flat last week aged 51. Although I wasn't totally aware this 'Scouser who I'd known for some 25 years' and although not close friends as such still played a part in my little life here in many little ways. Apparently he died from a mixture of an ashma attack and heroin smoking and when the cops have finished the autopsy I hope to get a rundown, innit*


Fritz Von Goodnight**


Surely Cathedral's, etc had decent amplification in their size alone Our Fredders?

Won't be long now Chaps when you'll all be able to leave your back doors (and front) wide open without fear of burglers etc, just like the good old days, innit*


Fritz Von Morning Mr Parry could you be so kind as to lend me a cup of sugar!


Aye those were t'days lads*


I wonder if Tel boy'll be manager soon*


Come on you Holland by beating England's arse tonight you'll indirectly do them a favour Chaps*

I started my working life in the police. After 2 years I was invalided out because of arthritis. I was very disillusioned at the time so I wasn’t too upset – I didn’t like the way we had to manipulate crime figures, the way jail sentences just didn’t seem to match the seriousness of the crime and also I found going to court very stressful. I moved on to work in IT for a few years – I’d done a degree in Computing before joining the police so it wasn’t too hard to get in. I gave that up after about 10 years when it just became too difficult to find work – the wholesale export of jobs to India destroyed the IT market. I then moved into security – door work, close protection, security consultancy. Another thing I just stumbled into, but it seemed the easiest thing to do at the time. I’m getting a bit too old for it now so I’m thinking of setting up my own security company so that I can move into management and let others do the heavy lifting.



Let's hope you find it much easier these days then Dave!

I must give Teflon his due having just watched him perform at the Queens Speech debate in the Hoose, he did put on a jolly decent show and make no mistook.


Fritz Von Most entertaining I must say!

P.S. Yes I think it's been well noted that the News Channel of the Century has just cut Sir Ming off in full flow whilst critising Our Tone, nuff said really, innit*


My dream was to work on an oil rig selling home made sandwiches and Jasmin tea, could've made a mint had I been a bit more shrewd*
