Title: Every day - more stupidity
Post by: Nickbat on 05 November 2013, 15:04:07
1. We have given India £800m since 2010. They can afford to send a rocket to Mars, we can barely afford anything.

2. For the 19th year in succession, auditors are unable to sign off the accounts of the EU owing to errors. That means the UK could be liable for £832m extra.

Nah.

I don't worry, but do get a bit cross about such things for a moment but, crucially, I don't allow it to fester within me over time. Too many other distractions!  :y

Its impossible to fester over time, as the crap comes so thick and fast, there is no time to ponder ;D
