    He only says the same things as Martin - he was on the apprentice a couple of weeks ago. He is quite funny!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    I've seen some articles by him on msn too - used to love the programme though, partly cos of the way he used to illustrate the debt to people using their biggest vice (I remember one episode in the pub when the table kept filling up and up with pints of beer - each one represented £100 or something!)
    Total Debt 13th Sept 2006 (exc student loan): £6240.06 :eek:
    O/D 1 [strike]£1250 [/strike]O/D 2 [strike]£100[/strike] Next a/c [strike]£313.55[/strike]@ 26.49% Mum [strike]£130[/strike] HSBC [strike]£4446.51[/strike]@15.75%[STRIKE]M&S £580.15@ 4.9%[/STRIKE]
    Total Debt 30th April 2008: £0 100% paid off!

    There was one where he threatened to set fire to a pile of £20 notes to show people how much theywere spending on smoking! That wasn't long before I gave up actually!

    I think Alvin and Martin are the same person. You never see them together...
