Youngest is also a very proud little man because after over a year of saving his pocket money, Christmas and birthday money plus selling some of his bits and pieces, he finally had enough to buy his Ipad 2 over the weekend. He's not shut up about it for the last few days but to see the sense of pride he has over finally achieving his goal, it's worth it.

The next Sunday Times will have something in it that'll be right up your young one's street Sue. Firstly because it is a list, second because it covers business ideas and third because it is full of rich people. The Sunday Times Rich List. Flicking through it should give him some ideas as to what business he wants to start!

A quick one for you all: who is your favourite comedian?

We go to quite a lot of stand up.
Too many faves to say for sure and of course some shows are better than others.
Faves include (seen them all live):
Jimmy Carr, Greg Davies, Sean Lock, Frankie Boyle, Stewart Lee, Sarah Millican (worried she's getting weak recently though, esp terrible "chat show")

Now, there's a posh alert..... I've never read the Sunday Times (or any Times).... it's definitely posh alert territory

When I was growing up, we had the local town XXX Evening News Mon-Sat and the Sunday People on Sundays.

Looking online.... top of 2012's rich list is Adele.

So, top tip for Sue's lads is: buy a dress and some high heels

Pink whistley and i have shared a piece of gorgonzola, which sores very highly on dh's chart of cheese for crazy dreams......

Whistley often has very animated dreams, so maybe she has a cheese stash of her own somewhere, or jus a tremendous imagination or a lot of problems to work through subconsiously.

All mine sound like a drunk Irishman doing a Scottish one :eek:

I sound exactly the same :eek:

I was going to pop on last night, but I’m in the middle of editing the music video for our ‘big’ release this year, which is too pink, too rappy and too difficult to sync everything perfectly (which is the exact reason I hate rap!)

I’ve found out whilst typing this, it’s still at no.4 on the Russian charts (thanks Luara). :cool:. I’m also in the Russian press for telling one of the Avaria guys that he’s a ‘prat’ at the beginning of the month :mad:

Tell me what you think to the song guys! I’m getting back to this!

Stewart Lee is the greatest stand up ever to live, even if he is a bit left of centre for my liking.

Hmmm....I haven't seen Eurovision for a looooonnnnggg time. 'Boom Bang A Bang,' I think it was.

It has a good hook line, but the rest is samey and it's too long. Although I haven't a clue what they are singing about, I get the feeling it's not a lot...... Probably PERFECT!

The competition's going to be fierce this year. I believe Englbert Humperdinck is doing the UK song........._pale_

Nah, that's the wrong Rich List. Trust me, when the real one comes out it won't be Adele at the top of it, it'll be some rich bloke most people have never heard of.

Since the Sunday Times launched the original Rich List, it's done a ton of spin offs - the Richest women, Richest pop stars, Richest under 30 type of things, but the original is the one that the most attention is paid to, but the full version of that is stuck behind a paywall.

Have a look at this, it's a better representation of the type of people who will be in the Rich List when it does get published:
