    I think it was George Takei who responded to someone on twitter who called him that and said something like "yes, and very well I'm told"

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    a few years back scrappies were paying up to £180 per tonne for scrap cars, now its at around £50 if you get i to them, if they collect maybe lucky to get about £30-40 as should be just over a tonne for an astra. LIST ALL FAULTS and put on fleabay. expect to be messed about though.
