  • I'm just pondering whether being humiliated in the media for a week or so would be worth a few tens of thousand pounds worth of luxury goods to me.

    I think I'd probably consider such an offer



    Who gives a s*** what the press are saying about you if your sitting on a beach in the Maldives & its all over when your back?

    I was listening to Feedback on radio 4 today and the first article was concerning an interview that John Humphries conducted on "Today" earlier in the week. About 15 minutes long apparently, and a few people appeared out of the woodwork to complain that he was nasty to her.

    The Labour Propaganda machine is on High Alert & out in force at the moment..

    Probably some threats have been made about bias & unrepresentation with the words "step down", "early retirement" & "concerntrate on family" being banded about...

    Not forgetting "talking down the economy" & "ruin your career".

  • Jackboot won't want to get rid of Rchard Timney just yet - he's still worth £40k pa to her. Plus she still needs someone to write anonymous letters of praise to the local rag.....

    I can sympathise with him though. You'd need a bit Television X if you knew Jackboot was on her way home, expecting a seeing to..... Oh yeuch - the very thought.....
