There was an English guy recently on TV. He sold up everything he had, went to Las Vegas and bet every penny on 1 spin of the roulette wheel. You are probably wondering if he won, right ? He did !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't think why not !

Use the Reagan principle if you have got money and little talent.

Let me guess ...........er .....um..........you are a racial bigot ! Do I get a coconut ?

Just because I would help a friend out , it doesn't mean everyone abides by that unwritten law I suppose. A little difficulty and one soon realizes who one's friends are.

Well they are too grand to get their hands dirty doing some work and just the mention of a bit help in one's business start-up and they are gone in a cloud of dust ! If you are gonna make a friend make sure he is poorer than you.

I have known about half a dozen wealthy people to call a friend - until it came to helping out a bit. They all scored 100% on the meaness test. The moral of the story is don't bother to befriend a wealthy person, they make lousy friends !

Behind every successful man used to be a capable woman, but women have got so stroppy lately I would like to change woman into capable gopher/secretary/man Friday sort of helper. I don't think Steve Jobs etc. had all their bright ideas etc. on their own - do you ?

I'm glad you brought that up as it is, though some may not have realized it, very relevent to this thread about the eviction of protestors - by the guys with fat wallets. Very similiar in fact. The big guys kicking the little guys until eventually the little guys fight back. In many of the...

These sites help pass the time between trades and who knows might even learn something nooooooo listen to the lulz It doesn't bother me too much if you live in a cardboard box on skid row or elsewhere since we are never likely to meet.

" ! knew a man once .................. oh well I was interested in your natural habitat. Do you live in fear ? Think about it, many do

I would be digging a nice safe nuclear shelter if I had the time left. My views are'nt going to sway hard bitten business men who don't give a rat's arse for anybody else. Maybe I'll come back as an Injun - sorry, native American, and pitch my teepee in central park , with toilet facilities on...

The other $49m could be re-invested in the business, creating jobs and giving a bit more to shareholders. When someone messes up, noone says "Oh dear, what about the shareholders ?" I remember an interview with one of the richest men - who said after the first millions money became less and...

Trying to impart a little wisdom. If the top hogs were the great guys they make themselves out to be then I wouldn't have to bother, but watching the world's finances fall apart is painful. Has any 1 public figure ever in all the years of ET condescended to answer or refute ? .........NO ...

You can take the man out of the mud hut but can you take the mud hut outa da man ? :)

Clinton ended his reign with a surplus, in case you can't remember that far back. It's Bush and Odumbo that have pissed it all away. Might even squeeze an apology out of them eventually. They can blame Blair !!

Instead of the USA taking " the poor etc." from Europe we could donate our selfish greedy lot that refuse to work for less than $1m+ per year !! They should fit in nicely with the folks on Sunset Boulevard and The Hamptons ! Might have to watch they don't end up with your palatial residences...

If Odumbo had more courage than the average garden slug he would have already gone a long way to solving this problem by adjusting tax on the rich. I don't mind if they get paid well over $1m a year but they should pay a tax of at least 80% and rising to 99% on the extra. A windfall tax...

Seagate do a seperate hard drive back up system. You just plug it into the usb port, answer a couple of simple questions and it does the rest. Easy peasy

Singers and musicians could "pay-off" the ransom with an impromptu concert/song.
