    No more than a grand methinks
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              The thing I want to know is, with all this talk of short selling and prices falling, who the hell keeps buying these shares?

                  I thought Barclays were raking it in big time, as they seem to be pretty much ignoring official interests rates. At least it would appear so from my variable rate mortgage.
