    So do you think tomorrow I'll get extra points towards my mortgage based on how tidy my file is and how I've organised it into sections?:rotfl:

    .....or how about that I haven't learnt how to play golf, have an aversion to eating steak due to nearly choking on a piece once and my last haircut cost £5 :D.

    I do need to spend more money on my hair, I hope they realise that!

    And that's what irritates me about the whole thing. Instead of tackling the banks as to why they lent 125% mortgages and why they accepted documentation of such poor-quality lies that it looked like an MP putting an expenses claim in, and tackling the civil servants running the FSA and the BoE as to why they allowed the banking industry to run like that for so long - instead (as always) it's the general public who get it in the neck.

    I need to eat more steak.

    Golf is for men with dimpled balls - not for me.

    Good luck tomorrow Butti! 13th always been lucky for me:D

    Bit more mixed for me Skinty...my parents got married on 13th, my mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer on the 13th and bizarrely she died on 13th.

    However it is just a number. It always amuses me when people won't sit in row 13 on a plane....like just that row will be destroyed and everything else will be intacked!

    The rules for aeroplanes are:
    1. Don't sit at the front.
    2. Sit near the door.

    Exactly the same rules you learned for seating in classrooms, training courses, comedy nights...
