    I got nowhere near it. I did about 400 quid on Saturday night but I just collected my biggest monthly pay ever so it doesn't hurt.

    I'm still feeling wobbly today (Wed p.m.). At least my BP has come down from the 180/95 it was on Sunday evening. It's still 150/80, hence the wobbliness I presume. Should come down if I continue with my healthy living.

    Far better they blow their bonuses on blow, booze and hookers than just sit on it waiting for the best time to move it all offshore
    I didn't say it was a bad thing, just that people get a lot grumpier these days about others showing off.

    I thought for a minute that you meant they print fake receipts that people can submit as their own. There's a business opportunity there.

    Was worth it though.
