FF9 won't work properly. It might be freezing but idk?

It's my goal to play through this game this summer but some unknown force has picked up the role of the antagonist. My original copy which sat around collecting dust of a couple years isn't working. So i borrowed my friends copy which looks like its in mint condition. Now, my problem is that when I'm playing as Vivi and i promise to be the rat kids slave he asks me to go down on him. I just cant tap x fast enough to satisfy him... jk that's an example of my lame humor. Now its when I go to the enter the bell tower to sneak into the play it goes to a black loading screen and then nothing. The music continues to play but the game stays at a black screen. I've tried washing the disk and cleaning the lens with a lens cleaner. Even pulling out my old PS1 but nothing works. Any advice?

Which is better Exercise equipment?

Im going to be straight up with you, don't buy it. Your going to invest in a product that you really don't need. The thing with our abdominal is rather interesting. All of us have abs its just a difference if they show or not. The slightest thin layer of fat can be the difference if your abs show or not. Working out your abs wont do you any good if your body fat percentage is high let alone if someone has a gut. Now, with a good nutritious intake your going to trim a lot of your body fat and show your abs even without working out. We are constantly working our abdominal because its our core and we use our abdominal to balance everyday. So to wrap it up, get a good nutritious intake and don't buy any sort of abdominal working machine because you don't need it. "Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym" this is a really good saying because its true.

Do I have a Paypal or HSBC problem, and how should I solve it?

HSBC does not directly communicate with your paypal account, if the funds are not there and your bank refuses them paypal is simply alerted of this and declines your purchase. The fault is really not on either party, if you try to make a purchase without having the funds you will be declined anywhere you go. I have never heard of banks holding your money for a transaction, perhaps you have some type of hold on your account now. I would really talk to your bank to better understand what is happening.
