Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

i have a pub next door to my office, but i have never been in it, and indeed i probably only go to a pub 5/6 times a year

i think the process of being bankrupted is pretty degrading in itself, and more so for someone who is to some extent in the public eye, even if only as a D-list celeb

and though money is only money, that really only holds true when you have it ..... from the socialist-leaning stuff you write, i guess you will be spending all yours on yourself or giving it to battersea dogs home or similar ..... if so, i'm sure your family will be really thrilled at that idea, whatever public face they may put on it

is cynic a pike or a eel should i put a bigger line on my rod

My Post 21409 Radio reception, just me then is it?

Cynic,

I thought a little more time in the pub might mellow you.

--------------

My parents, allowed me and supported my education, and also enable many of my "follies", I have done the same for my children, who have sufficient incomes to sustain themselves and responsibilities.

Although, I am grateful for my financial inheritance from my parents, but wished that they had been less frugal and spent more on themselves in their last years.

I encouraged them to do so and wished they had.

-------------

My children would not be offended by how I, or my wife leave the disposal of our "values" on our deaths. They, like I, would make no claim on predecessors for their own comforts of life.

In probability, after donations by my wife to "groups" of her interest, any residue would go to my grandchildren for any help needed in their development.

would hate to mellow even further ..... that's one reason i rarely take sugar :-)

"i have a pub next door to my office, but i have never been in it, and indeed i probably only go to a pub 5/6 times a year" Judging by the tone of some of you posts on here I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you have been banned.

life is full of surprises then isn't it!
i have only ever been banned from singing at the rugby club, when i played - too badly out of tune even for there!

I have an office next door to my pub.

How very convenient -):
