Jand: did you pay it?
I've got a book from Colchester library that I got out about 18 months ago. I wonder what the fine is.

I actually have some mental problem with taking things back to libraries... ever since I was about 10 and joined for the first time...
It's cost me loads, probably > £1000..they even threaten you with Baliffs, the bastards.....(although it does take em years to track you down....Fucking Essex county council will find & fine you in the end so be warned..)...

The max fine now per book is a £5 ... but they eventually take you to court and you have to pay for a)the fines b)the books c)court costs...
jonesy..max fine is a fiver but if you've moved from Essex I reckon you'll be alright (altho taking any advice from me regarding libraries isn't advised..;)..

the most i had was a measley 16 quid-and that was for cd's from birmingham library. when i asked the ape behind the counter how long i had to pay he said i didnt-i just wouldnt be able to borrow from the audio library till it was paid. damn my luck-i could still choose from 16 copies of 'life thru a lense' and 4 scratches cd's of 'bat out of hell-the best of meatloaf' if it wsnt for that pesky 16 quid. suffise to say the debt remains the same.

They even recognise my voice in the legal dept now when I phone up so I guess I must be vaugly famous with em...
I actually had to take some back to Braintree Lib the other day (to get out of paying for the books as well as the fines) and I pretended to be my older brother as I didn't want to get any hassle when they saw they were 3yrs overdue...I should've been an actor coz I ended up having a long conversation about how slack my little brother was and how the family had disowned him after his Crack problems...lol...Their faces were a picture...

My friend actually works in the library and used to wipe my fines off the computer. I daren't ask her to wipe these as that's taking the piss really. Besides I want to keep the book. Its a book about house music and is really good. Good on equipment.

Uhm, I have some books that I have not returned for about 13 years, and even the library had been closed some 8 years ago, but i did recieve a letter asking me to return those books like 4-5 years ago, from a central library. I choose to ignore it.

but then everyone would pinch the books!! its simple the more books you read will be rewarded by special 'fellatio' tickets/tokens so you could get blown by a special sex machine in every library.

A great Idea. It's just that I prolly wouldn't like most of the other guys at the library... You know, those who never read a book in their life, lining up just for a blojob... So I'd just have to revert to wanking..

i have never paid a library fine because i just don't ever go back to the library. so far they havenot charged me anything...
i also have a total of approx 400$ in late fees at about 7 or 8 different Hollywood video stores. I just rent at one untill i get some huge late fee then i just go get another membership at a new store.
now i have that netflix thing though so no more late fees for me.

no no no no no -no cheating-you will be intensively quizzed by stunning librarian about the books you CLAIM to have read before you get your 'sucky sucky'/'one off the wrist cards'-no cheating.
this is to purely cut down on queing times to the proposed blowing machine.
