(4 years pre-Kinnock, but worth it for the opening synth riffs, and Robin Day's impression of Baron Greenback off Dangermouse)

Not sure, but it reminds me of a medical joke: a gynaecologist is someone who can wallpaper their hallway through their letter box.

Foreplay with the wife must be like working overtime though.

The Kinnocks are just like all true socialists...... hypocrites

Do you think gynaecologists get bored with their work? Or are they all different?

Quote from TV series Scrubs:

"I got into medicine for the same four reasons anyone gets into medicine. Chicks, money, power and chicks".

£8 million, did you even read the linked article?

Open Europe claimed they have so far received up to £8 million in pay and allowances
Open Europe said the couple claimed a total of £6 million in staff and salary allowances during their time in Brussels

Basically, big numbers.

I'm sure it said £6 million in the Sunday Times but I may be wrong.

No I didn't read the "Telegraph" article.

Put the paddle away geek-boy.

So who's the stupid one? The windbag who doesn't do any real work in his life and trousers a cool 8 million or the IT geek who works his pants off for a fraction of the amount?

A failed ginger tosser no one voted for, that's worth every penny.

I think he might have been one of the first celeb politicians - for example, being in a Tracy Ullman video.

There was an interesting article in the Sunday Times this week about the amount of money the "Kinnocks" have made out of politics of one flavour or another.

£180k+ a year in pensions alone...

Estimated £6 million in expenses over the past 10 years.
