    Chuffin'ell fire.

    When I heard that Anita Rodick, a woman who has single handedly created a £50m international company out of nothing, employed thousands and tirelessly supported human rights, animal rights, fair trade and countless charities was to sell up and donate ALL the proceeds of her life's work to charity I thought - there's something the BBS can be united about, surely no-one can be mean spirited enough to be anything but 100% positive about that.

    Jesus.

    My preference is for the Camel Dung Hair Gel or the Camodo Dragon spit Tooth Paste?

    Don't know why I thought I'd tell you lot though. Probably have an argument with somebody now.............</p>

    Good luck to the Rich Bitch. She has done a great deed and should be congratualted on her 'gift' and it makes no difference whatsoever how much fortune she has left. I wouldn't have made such a huge donation my self as I would have been a Cryne and bailed out the Super Reds instead. Bought myself a Super Car and A house on an Island - like Branson then I would have loads of Yachts and Planes and things................**** me I'm like this when I play Monopoly!! The old If only this was real money conversation.</p>

    Yeah...turns out it's not a health milkshake after all. She could spend 50 million on repackaging.

    Also........

    ....."no risk." there's always risk.

    And it's bloody hard risking the shirt on your back. Without people brave enough and tough enough to do that there'd be no jobs for the others.

    Give over man.

    You can't claim it's your low wage that precludes you from doing anything for the good causes you constantly bleat about and then whine about getting the sack. If that job was the only thing stopping you then why were you still there?

    Fake.

    Do you expect anyone to believe you propose anything other than a backpacking holiday for yourself or that this decision following you losing your job is purely coincedence? If your priorities were as you claim them to be you'd take the far more effective action of staying here, working as hard as you can and sending money to pay for cheaper, local help.

    Stop posing you fake.

    No you're right.....

    She should have given it all away and made herself utterly destitute. I mean, easy come easy go eh? Nowt better than seeing a fat, bloated plutocratic slob on the down and out.
    Sometimes Andy your logic and argument varies between the flawed and the ludicrous.
    Is there a Tooting Popular Front in Barnsley?

    Where did I say.....

    ?!??!

    I was replying to a post about me 'being in a cushy job on protected pay' - you're really making yourself look even more stupid than you already have on this thread. Besides, I quite like the job - helping stop peoples houses from flooding is quite rewarding. Its just a shame that middle management are a set of c*nts and went back on their promises.

    You didn't say it, idiot, I did.

    You moan about your job and moan about losing it. You pretened your subsequent plan for a backpacking holiday is somehow to be a mercy trip. Are you ever going to do ANYTHING other than spout off?
