      Does Branston still own Virgin Money (credit cards) or did he sell it off?

        This Crock thing has not really blown over yet - the quality of their borrowers is suspect and just how many of them default when they move to 7%+ rates is yet to be seen.

          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.”

            Have any of you read / heard "Northern Birds" by Amateur Transplants (a parody of "More Than Words")? Very funny.

            SA / Cailin - I apologise in advance for the very tasteless humour to be found in the lyrics thereto!

                  With Apologies To All Who Are Offended By This!

                  If you go to Bolton,
                  If you go to Manchester or Crewe,
                  Newcastle or Scarborough,
                  York or Scunthorpe, Bradford, Barnsley too,
                  Or Grimsby.
                  Listen up to what we have to say.

                  Northern birds are lazy, ugly whores, who smell of burgers,
                  So don’t have too much to drink,
                  Or you might **** one,
                  And end up getting AIDS.

                  There’s nothing fun,
                  To be found up the M1,
                  Northern birds are lower class,
                  Slags who take it up the arse.

                  They’re in the sack,
                  After one cider and black,
                  But they’re ******* awful rides,
                  And your dick won’t touch the sides.
                  (Da da da da da da da da da da)
                  Northern Birds
                  (Da da da da da da)

                  If you really have to go up North,
                  Then follow our advice.
                  Fight away the women,
                  Or you’ll find yourself with pubic lice,
                  And herpes.
                  You’re much better staying in the South.

                  Northern Birds are desperate, ugly, hippos, dressed in Burberry,
                  With a peanut for a brain,
                  And an accent,
                  That makes you want to die.

                  Now, you’ve been warned.
                  They’re all physically deformed.
                  Northern birds are all obese,
                  And they’re riddled with disease.

                  Try to escape.
                  Northern sex is worse than rape.
                  Stay down South, and mark my words,
                  Steer well clear of Northern Birds.
                  (Da da da da da da da da da da)
                  Northern Birds
                  (Da da da da da da)
                  Northern Birds
                  Have patience. In time, even grass becomes milk.

                    I feel a swift move to Light Relief coming on.
