    May rent them out for a while and then sell them when I retire - with this kind of demand prices can only keep going up.....
    Not if people keep taking them off to hell, not many come back, and I would't fancy the job of recovering them. ;)
    Hope for the best.....Plan for the worst!

    Surely the wooden ones would only burn down there anyway..In which case oldMcDonald, it may be wise to invest in some fireproof metal one's.

    The recovery would still be a problem though...Unless we get Gordon Brown to cart them back up for us?

    Amy Winehouse could do that, she sure looks like she's been to hell and back a few times :D

    Look there she's just back!

    So did I - never heard the handcart version.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    It depends who you ask. I'm sure if you asked Mrs Winehouse, she wouldn't have a clue where she was!!

    I tried to make her to go to rehab but she said "NO, NO, NOOOOOOOOOO"....

    Damn I'm on fire today................:p

    'handcart' is a variation, often used by that well-known social commentator and intellectual richard littlejohn in his regular column for the equally erudite daily mail.
