    'Banks', is in 'Top Model host Tyra Banks' not as in 'HSBC, HBOS, Lloyds-TSB, etc', you clown!

  • It wasn't made very apparent. Any even discerning reader would think there would be a lesson learned from petite models rioting, that this must have unquestioningly something to do with the finance industry.

    "We are concerned by the events. We still don't know all the details of what triggered the incident."

    Could just as easily be from the finance industry ;)

  • "We do not want the responsible, sensible majority of moderate drinkers to have to pay more or suffer as a result of the excesses of a small minority." Heard this today being uttered by our dear PM. My day keeps getting better.

    Now that is common sense. Why not have dual pricing for alcohlic drinks - if you're uinder 25, the price is doubled??

    What I was trying to relay was the irony of the statement. Replace 'drinkers' with taxpayers/public, and that minority, well, you know who, and it all gets a bit intoxicating imagining what a world that would be...

    Perhaps this is the BBC test driving a headline.

    Today, it's Ms Banks, tomorrow it's the Barnsley branch of The Black Horse and Usurer.
