The Ugly: You are riddled with guilt. Firstly, because they really worked their butts off, and secondly, because for seven long days you couldn't stop thinking of the monkey business you had been doing when you were skint.

The Ugly: While you are debating whether to let him in, he takes off his geezer mask, and he and three more thugs rush in, tie you up and steal your stuff.

The Good: While you are strolling along, you see a wallet on the pavement. You pick it up and find that it contains no ID, only $10,000 in bills.

The Ugly: The teens are the offspring of one Dino "don't steal my wallet or I'll knee-cap you" Corleone, the local mafia identity, and they're looking your way and gesticulating in an aggressive manner...

The Ugly: It turns out you're a dangerous fugitive wanted in 6 states for heinous crimes (who knew!). The cops storm the casino, bowl you to the floor, confiscate your winnings and...take your pants.

The Ugly: The blonde is not after a quick shag. All she wants is some decent conversation. Now you're ****.

The Good: You reside in a country where life's necessities --including a TV set for the two state-controlled channels-- come for free.
