    Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
    I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

    I knew there was a good reason why my broker pushed a self-cert on me, he obviously didn't want the comeback on him when my salary had some VAT put onto it! Oh well, guess thats why its fondly named 'lie to buy'.

    Still don't blame people, where I live its most factory work earning £10,000 a year. Even with 2 people working full time they're never gonna get a house they start at £90,000 and thats for something tiny on a main road!

    You have to speculate to accumulate, or alternatively, be honest and wave all the successful people who weren't so honest drive past in their Porches!

    Unfortunately that is true.
