2009/2010

that was the highlight of your year?

Probably shouldnt have said 'highlight' but on a non personal note that sticks out for the fact that they all tried to excuse themselves as if they did nothing wrong.

The fact they all stood there and said''oh yes the systems wrong'' no time for any of them.

Fraud no more no less

viz did a superb spoof of all that. Something involving John Prescott beingon the gravy train by spending 100k of taxpayers money on a gravy powered train. When questioned about it he said he was furious that the system allowed him to waste taxpayers money in this way and that he was going to fight the cause of the hard working man in the street by going straight to parliament and kicing up a fuss.
