Oh Dear: What happens when you borrow against the house for a get rich scheme

Plus. What's with the hand thing? They're all holding their hands in
a really odd way.

If that was me, my hands would be in my pocket and my sons fingers would be up his nose. No class these people.

Maybe they're all covering up some dodgy tattoo of the corduroy and tweed cult they have fallen into to?

Twunts - fk 'em!

Can't stand corduroy but what's wrong with tweed?

[Notascooby]

Nothing - maybe it's both together....

Which reminds me - why the sudden fashion for the Horse and Hound look - Joules, Barbour and quilted tulip.


No need...

I'm not really sure why this is 'news', individuals and businesses go bust all the time, often as with this case, due to poor commercial decisions.

Is he expecting some nationwide outpouring of sympathy swiftly followed by some sizable donations from 'well-wishers'?

Maybe it's so we can all laugh at them in the street?
There's too much non-news these days. I don't mind ITV or Heat mag reporting such crap but it really irks me when it's on the BBC - "and now Kate Middleton was seen wearing a hat"

I don't mind a bit of Kate. At least she's foxy.

Yep, agreed. 'Pippa Middleton was seen wearing nothing at all'; that WOULD sell newspapers.

It's all the cretins that did media studies, got a job in the media, and now think they have a clue what news and journalism is really about.

Not too bothered myself. It means I save money by not buying newspapers, and save time by not watching the news.

Yep, agreed. 'Pippa Middleton was seen wearing nothing at all'; that WOULD sell newspapers.

And it would bring in some foreign visitors!

Proper Harris tweed smells of wee.

Donegal tweed doesn't. (although mine smells of booze)
