    Absolute disgrace

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7672987.stm

    Poor lady. Makes me sick that people can get a million dollar house and do nothing, and this poor lady can't even afford a packet of digestives.

    You wouldn't be saying that if it was you in that house.

      How did she and her surviving family have time/room to take "momentos" off the sinking ship? Did they leave the old man behind choosing to fill his seat on the lifeboat with some Titanic artefacts, and leave him to drown. Which begs the question had he survived instead of the "momentos" would she be any more likely to pay for her old age?

      Maybe we should have a poll?

        Read the article - momentos acquired since - suitcase was given by the generous people of NYC as survivors had nothing.

            She scuttled the Titanic, having pilfered anything of value first. Been living like a queen for donkey's years and now flogging off some tat to fund a full botox, liposuction, face and baps lift 100,000 mile service..

              So she's selling a load of old clothes ?

              I bet the crafty old dear's been and bought them from a jumble sale. She probably knocks out this scam on eBay three or four times a year.

                I reckon laser eye surgery judging by the thickness of those specs.

                  No that's what she is selling and the real reason the titanic sunk. She swiped the portholes.
                  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!
