    But they are because they all, potentially, involve flying somewhere. Powerboat racing, formula 1, the list is endless, you can't just pick on cruising!

    He does have a point. If migrants have been smoking regularly and suddenly are faced with difficulty in purchasing tobacco, what will they do?
    The indigenous population will have been able to adjust. It's just the same as how some migrants have difficulty controlling themselves when they see women who are not covered up from head to toe.

    A penny.

    After several billion years the compound interest alone would mean that I owned all the wealth in the Universe.




    I think that this is Douglas Adams' reasoning but if it isn't, then it jolly well should be.

    On a related garment theme, I just listen to the podcast The Price of Football, which was an interview with Tom Beahon who formed Castore who are now supplying kits to Newcastle, Villa etc, interesting story.

    It’s impressive what they’ve achieved, launched by Tom and his brother less than nine years ago in their parents garage. The parents remortgage the house to fund them and now their an international multi-million pound company.

    Putting on my pedantic pants isn't that a Grant Naylor joke from Red Dwarf Ernie?

    When Holly plays an April fools joke on Lister telling him he has 3 million years worth of compound interest on the pennies he had in his bank account before he left. However, he also left the bathroom light on so he now owes more than that to the electricity board?

    They might of nicked it from DA.
