    Enjoy.

    And if all the above apply who smug can one be?

    I will probably be the first western leader to be accorded a state visit to the White House to meet President Obama.

    The polls are showing a strong recovery for the Labour party, and so I can see a long extension on the horizon.

    I have been prudent during my life and amassed a small fortune. I need never work again, but it is a mark of my determination to serve the British people that I would not desert them when there is so much more to do.

    No smug for me - except last year I spent 11 months on the highest rate ever and so that has supplied my warchest for this year and the next.

    Just really taking each day as it comes right now and relaxing.

    meh.....wants to be a glamour, so i conclude 2 things....

    1 - wants to be seen in papers, mags etc in threadbare outfits for money, so why would she bothered with a few freebies here

    2 - she's clearly as thick as **** and will never find out you posted photos on t'interweb
    once u know who she is it would be easy to find her site and email or something, sorry chaps but too compromising.

    also, she has a 2:1 english degree so clearly not (2)

    Nah, I think most would shout it from the rooftops in your position.

    Provided of course you post a couple links as proof. Fortune Green has kindly created a thread to help you out.
