It could be a good idea to invest in the sock market, especially seeing as lots of people will be turning the heating down this winter to save money.
Blondes might be a bad bet though as lots of contractors find their trophy wives just too expensive. I’d take out put options in blondes.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
