  • Hi MG - haven't had a chance to read through everything thats happened in the last few days - but don't know if you saw Watchdog - Martin was on talking about Tax Credits and suggested that the person to complain to was David Gauke MP - not sure if you want to take it any further but just thought I'd post just incase (sorry if someone has already mentioned it)


    its a very good thought - i'm getting braver every day and might just be up for a good ole fight one day soon.

    was watching WD with ds1 - when he pipes up to his gran

    "thats Martin, he's Ok, but one of his friends hypno is lending me a violin and some of his others have bought mums book. don't think he's bought a book yet has he mum?"

    :D:D:D Hands up who thinks i should send him one???:D:D:D

    Well, I personally think you should sell him one!! He would understand, him being a business man and all!

    Does this mean we will see you at the Edinburgh Festival next year and starring alongside John Bishop (now there is my equivalent of Gabriel Byrne but not quite Robert Downey Jnr) on his live from the Apollo show?
