    Well to be fair must of his money was made in the 80s and he created more wealth by diversifying e.g. property. All without Roger DeCourcy
    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.”

      Yeah but you can't tell me Nookie Bear wasn't in on it. He was the brains of the outfit.

      You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        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?
        Viglen's crap. I still have an old laptop as a doorstop with 2 dead pixels.

        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!".

          Sir Alan deserves the promotion : but I am suprised he has accepted it from Gordon Brown. Why does he want to be associated with a loser?

              Why on earth would he want to be associated with a government in its death throes?

              What position is Susan Boyle going to be offered?

                  The main course referred to by the bogeyman must be Mandelsons' promotion to "first secretary of state" whatever the hell that is.

                    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.

                      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.
