    To which the correct answer to that would be "I'm not sure can we just run through them again, please?".

    Oops, I seem to have strayed into the 'Gluttony' thread.

    I don't think they are, I would imagine most on here would fall into the 'traditional capitalist' category which 'city boy' talks about on the show if you listen.

    Not really the same as the Gordon Gekko 'greed is good' ****** bankers IMO.

    No mater how you look at it gluttony is at the route of most modern life problems whether its fat lazy feckers or greedy ****** bankers.
    "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" - hardly a new sentiment.

    Aren't all IT contractors philanthropic socialists?

    I bought a copy of the Big Issue last week.

    It had a 2 for 1 offer in it.
