    No doubt. They have lined the pockets of all manner of undeserving weasels. You are in good company. A bit like Mandelson but without being quite so butch!

    I know it doesn't compare to your stellar existence as a jet-setting sperm banker. The difference is what I have described as my life is in the real world.

    Given the naive questions you ask on here, I seriously doubt it.
    One day you'll learn - or maybe not.

    The only way I can see that working is if you were working in the sperm banking sector and were getting a tenner a sperm!

    Now stop making things up, No-one believes you....

    So anyone saying don't buy property. History is very much against you over the long term...
