It amuses me when you pay for your meal using these vouchers and tip on the card machine and get a message "WARNING tip exceeds 50% of bill".

After he had stopped crying I explained, I was not indeed ‘MarillionFan’ but inspired by him.

It's one thing to contribute, it's quite another to publicise one's generosity, which makes me think it's bulltulip of the sort.

This is narcism.

FTFY!

I sometimes let the hairdresser keep the £2 change from my tenner. All things are relative and, when you consider how mean I am, it is me who is the more generous.

It's quite rich for a contractor to point out the moot in another's eyes. Least I pay proper taxes to support the economy.
