    Iconic David Bowie gets 5 seconds, some rapper (American culture!!) gets 5 minutes.

    Enjoyed the NHS bit, GOS Hospital is largely abused by foreigners as they can't afford treatment in their own countries. My local NHS hospital faces closure as the trust struggles to make the payments for the private funding to the German company Siemens. Yup waving my flag right now...

    Maybe you need to go to one of them there NHS hospitals and get some of those anti-whinging pills.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    Maybe you need to come here and have a nasty accident, and find out if you survive a 40 minute trip to next nearest hospital, probably not so I guess yes, that would be a cure for whinging.

    Most likely ex hitler youth member, showing his true colours. Watch out Greece.

    Mind you, Camilla's face is a picture and Boris looks like he is trying to think of the headlines for Pvt eye !

    Danny Boyle.... You are a genius, loved every minute of it, usually switch things like this off.

    Arise Sir Danny !:T:T
