Do any of you lend out your games and DVDs and stuff easily?

I ask this because my uncle came over to visit my parents yesterday, and after playing the PS2 with my little cousin for a while he asked me if he could lend one of my games. He had to go so I thought I'd be nice and lend him one of my games (I have plenty), but then I remembered we were having a party soon, which usually means some more of my good relatives come over and they always enjoy playing my games. Most of the games I have are good for multiplay, so I was sort of forced to turn down the offer to my little cousin. Then he started to plead, puppy dog eyes and everything, saying he's always bored at home and only has two games. I felt sorry for the kid, and every time he conjurred up another damn good reason to borrow one of my games, I would rethink my decision.

But I finally stuck and didn't lend him any of my games. I probably would have if I saw him more often, but what with family coming over I didn't want to risk missing out on good multiplayer fun.

What would you have done?

Why not just phone him up and ask him if it would be allright if he dropped the game off, or if he could post it to you...

I 'borrowed' SMS from Gerrid. He didn't see it for months. The fool!
Even though I didn't play it.
