  • Bling is very low on my list of priorities.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    It's you and your type that are destroying the economy.
    Apparently. ;)

    Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse

    Go, and never darken my towels again.

    I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury

    Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read

    Why, I'd horse-whip you if I had a horse

    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others

    Yup, I'm an evil parasite, because our flat isn't cluttered with endless dust-gathering gadgets that we don't use.

    I hope you don't have any savings if you don't collect bling. That would be inexcusable.

    Savers were thus described on another thread, recently.

    To be fair, I think it was implied that she is an evil parasite. Apparently, I am also one of these, julieq said so. I`ve be advised by Mr Bean to spend my savings. Mr Bean works for the BoE who also advised that the rise in inflation earlier this year was "just a blip".

    Maybe I could get rid of my "parasite" status by spending all of my savings, then possibly end up on benefits if I`m out of work or suffer bad health.

    a random woman on the internet called Julieq calls someone an 'evil parasite' and you're considering "spending all of my savings, then possibly end up on benefits if I`m out of work or suffer bad health"

    sounds all a bit strange...
