...although I've heard there're big profits to be made in that! especially Michelle McManus's crack! ;D ....... it'd certainly be roomy!! Maybe some prime space for buy to let-ers to exploit!!

Bottom line is guys we all want to better ourselves, we're all educated and like the fine things in life. Why take the moral high ground with me, I didn't say I was going to start selling crack! LOL sorry Hurls but I can be very principled / po-faced sometimes fella! Tell you what, let's forget these tiresome matters with a nice pint! There's another outfall of the fat fucker Brown.... beer costs too much.. I say £1 pint (across the board - obv. only beer / ale / cider etc) 'til 2010.... Vote Stanley.... ! Ooops... did I get back to politics...?

.......... but why do people sell crack Hurls?? Because people like the fine things in life, and want to better themselves!! It's a purely financial decision for most people who do it, and they don't consider/ignore the ethics behind involved in what they do!! Be reasonable man It's just an example of profiteering Hurls, at the expense/exclusion of others. An extension of the 'look after me and mine' philosophy, if you will. It's an extreme example I grant you, ......... but it really depends where you draw your moral line in the sand!! As you said everyone wants to get on in life!!

but I'll also admit that there are a few - a few - politicians out there who're genuinely looking for the best interests of those they represent. Luton's fortunate enough to have/had one. Whoop! Are we talking about the dude - Kelvin Hopkins - again?! He's a good man, tis true... That's the one! Mr 'I'm not gonna toe the party line if I disagree' himself ;D

There is no line, can you explain to me how it's fair that I get taxed left right and fucking centre by this government 1. I'm in the higher tax bracket and a pay rise equates to fuck all unless really substansial! 2. I get taxed capital gains on my share of my company, so all profits I pay 40% as well as what I pay on my wages So if I can make some money this way I will, sorry but if you work your arse off you seem to be punished. I won't draw that line mate, I want more and thats what drives me. No so I can look down at people, but because I want to be comfortable and in the long term rich. Your not going to tell me you've not got your vices be they clothes, cars etc.,

I'd never say that about you, question for you would ou own a holiday retreat in Wales? I'd gladly share a few pints with you again, Arnie's well up for it too awww! I'd not own a holiday home, no... that's partly cos I'd not want to go to the same place every year though! I don't actually object to owning 2 properties (at most) but beyond that you do get into the territory of rentiers who are only owning property to get money for (generally) nothing. Groovio. We should arrange this again soon, well could do that anytime but be nice to get a bigger crew together, party in style!

Is this turning into a 'let's get together and get drunk!' type thread now? 'Cause I'm up for that if the timing's right!

Your not going to tell me you've not got your vices be they clothes, cars etc., I think we're rolling in from different direction on this one Hurls ......... I think it's like I said earlier about religion 'everyone goes round in circles, and they all leave thinking the same way they did at the beginning'. So as Jules suggested earlier, I'm stepping off this topic!! As for my vices ............. fast girls & booze, as always!!
