    The secret millionaire

    On ch 4 last night, millionaire gives away money to needy cases in deprived areas. Last night it was the murder mile, I was looking out for SASguru, alas he wasn't on it.

    The guy's ethos was he had done well, admittedly he was self made, but support of family and friends had helped him get where he was, he realised some people don't have that kind of support. I know some people on here don't believe that some people are a victim of their backgrounds in in many ways held back by them so:

    Horrid socialist leftie pinko idea

    Or someone with some morals, sense of decency and a heart, helping people with potential get a foot on the ladder?
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

    Or maybe he had just bought shares in Currys and was waiting for an influx of Chavs buying their plasma tellys.
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

      If he spends his own money then its fine. Socialist crap starts when higher taxes are imposed and then wasted on things that don't work out as intended.

        and I watched 'Evicted' last night, about families with children who are homeless. The attitude of the councils was sickening and the impact on the children was sobering to say the least...

          I saw a bit of that, very moving (no pun intended). I think I might have too much of a heart to post on this board.

            Pussycat, you seem to have two very different sides.

              I swa that while waiting for Match Of The Day. Very sad and just shows how well our taxes are spent to keep some of those council workers in a job.

                With the amount of public money being spent in the inner-city they should all be millionaires. If you want real poverty visit rural Britain or somewhere like Minehead where you can see families taking shelter in bus stops while the local council pisses money up the wall on diversity celebrations.

                  I bought some friends a few of these last year and will do the same this year:

                  I think it's a worthwhile exercise...

                    What's wrong with Plasma's?

                    I've recently bought a Pioneer one...lovely.

                    and NO, it wasn't from Currys...
