now I can actually understand somebody fantasising about murdering this bunch of caterwauling talent vacuum's. I get subjected to their hits at least once a week in the office. I have to sit through that shit but will anybody else tolerate more than one tallica track NO.

Body retrieved from Canal literally right out side our new office. Eeek. They seem to be implying that it was a man who was scouring the area for male sex. . . . I don't really know how they can come to that conclusion that quickly!

Should make your lunchtime strolls a little more interesting!

It explains the funny looks I was getting when loitering around the canal on my lunch break.

I think I've managed to find the actual story. Bizarrely, he actually posted it using his full name, which probably made it fairly easy to prosecute him. I'll let you know if it depraves or corrupts me, but it's way too long to read at the moment (it's late).

Monkeys serve in Japanese restaurant. No idea what to say about this...weird, just weird!

The sexual position formally known as the 69 is now called the 96. This is due to inflation and the credit crunch having significantly increased the cost of eating out.

17.1% drop of the value in flats on Deansgate.

by my reckoning that means the buffont one's flat has lost approximately £500,000.

GOOD!

[Mike]

Who would be able to buy it anyway? He has a worthless flat with a masive heating bill due to the big areas of glass and forest up there. I would hate to see his heating bills they must be about to go through the roof this winter.

[John Knight]

The heating bills are one thing but the maintainance charge would be the killer. He has to pay to maintain the same are of builing envelope as approx 24 standard flats aswell. I think it is in excess of £20k p/a.

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000. With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left. If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left. But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, and then turned in the cans for recycling, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. This is called the 401-Keg Plan.

Not only that but it reduces your life span dramatically so you won't be here to worry about old age!
