    I just love it that at the moment Simon Cowell is beating Tony Blair in the poll.


    Now there's a great idea for a reality show.


    Sorry misread that.
    Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way.

    If there was a picture of him on them, I'd be less inclined to spend them! :D

    I used to have a little purse with a picture of him on it. I was gutted when the girl at the till said 'My mum was really into him.' Made me feel well old!
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

  • Ants are strong and form armies-they march well and carry their injured. They are a cooperative lot. They dont even need banknotes.

    I think a picture (or representation, of course) of satan would be thought provoking!

    Perhaps with the actual biblical quote, instead of the misinterpreted one.

    The one we hear is "Money is the route of all evil", whereas it actually says "For the love of money is a root of all evil..." (1 Timothy 6:10).

    Nowt wrong with money; it only becomes a problem when it's more important than other things in life that should have priority.
