    Just when you though things couldn't get any worse!

    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.”

        Could it be because of the episode of the Simpsons where he said "I'll sign anything me"

          To be fair to Ringo, isn't he the one who had at least attempted to personally reply to every piece of fan mail he received? That is a fairly awesome undertaking and considering how long ago it is that the Beatles actually split up you can not really blame him.

          Considering his faux pas earlier this year about not missing the pool he may wish to gat better PR advice.
          I am not qualified to give the above advice!

          Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

            "I'm warning you with peace and love I have too much to do," the 68-year-old drummer said.
            Must try that on my client.

              Maybe the trolls could try it on the board.

              "Not very bright are you? Peace and Love, Peace and Love" might stop a few cyber battles.

                Those Thomas The Tank Engine stories don't narrate themselves you know.
                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!

                  It gets a bit cramped in that yellow submarine


                  Today Thomas was a busy little engine.
                  "Hello Thomas" said Gordon
                  "No time to speak you dullard, peace and love" said Thomas
                  As he pulled in at the station the Fat Controller was having a cup of tea and a scone.
                  "Thomas we have a very important job for you" said the Fat Controller
                  "Oh FFS" said Thomas
                  "I'm a very busy engine, you think I can just puff up and down this track all day saying hello to all the other moronic engines when I have serious work to do? Peace and Love" said Thomas
