    I was at the swimming pool the other day and someone asked me what my favourite stroke was. I replied 'Thatcher's'. They're jokes.

  19. What about google? They've done really well from everyone being at home on the net. A few posts ago you wrote that "Its hilarious. I love it though, it exposes this failed pinko commie system we have for what it is. " Do you think that Labour is in charge of this country or has been for best part of a decade?
  20. If the likes of Starbucks and Google paid their fair share of tax, we'd be in a better position to ride out the storm.
