Pft, who he's only got $5billion and is only the 169th richest person in the world. Bloody pauper.

Ihear Randy was impressed when he came into his office and put his helmet on the table, so it looks a done deal

Although, if i am being entirely honest, it is mostly a perk of having parents who lived in Spain in a private villa with pool for almost ten years.

You champagne socialist!

Has this takeover rumour fizzled out already then? Wasn't able to survive a performance like that, I imagine.

We avoided the wedding cake, icing and Marzipan thing by having tiers of cheese instead.

Yarg, Cheddar, Stilton, Brie, Wensleydale and something else I can't remember. Went down a treat.

Some friends of mine did that for their wedding cake. Superb idea.

Most of what was left was put in my car boot after the event.

As this thread has gone wonderfully off topic, time for my contribution. In my ignorance I thought German people were not afflicted with overseas call centres. They are, mainly Poland based I've been advised.

I wish I'd thought of that when I got  married. Cheese is one of my favourite things, you can stick your fruitcake and marzipan

You champagne socialist!

In fairness, they were living in it, it wasn't a second home.
