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.” -

Viglen's crap. I still have an old laptop as a doorstop with 2 dead pixels.Originally posted by bogeyman View PostAnyone remember Viglen?
Not bad bog standard PCs in their day (early 90s?) but Suralan bought them to crack the corporate marketplace - and failed dismally and utterly.
How we laughed
He still owns Viglen. Which is pretty much a household name now, isn't it?
However, I would like Alan Sugar to sit down at a cabinet meeting and say to whoever's left "you're pissing my money up against the wall. Youre fired!".'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

I see that Margaret has walked out in disgust, accusing Suralun of using her as 'window dressing'.Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.Comment

Lord Sugar has always been a good friend of the Labour Party. His advice will help Gordon restore growth to the UK economy for another 11 unbroken years.Comment
