Running a childrens game stall at the Primary School fair I was approached by a 'in the process of being brainwashed' child of 8 who glowingly offered me his 'passport to Europe' which he thought gave him free entry to everything - even the 30p a go game. The Passport - complete with Euro blue cover and logo including the ring of Barbed wire extolled the glories of each Euro member. I explained that the game was 30p a go, 50p two goes and that the passport might not be all it seemed. Indeed OLD people might not like being in Europe at all. Our government has a lot to answer for. Luckily the kid then produced a £20 note - a much better passport to winning a prize in our game. - On Fri, 12/12/08, Captain Beeky <[email protected]> wrote:

I don't want to get started on that so I've put 5p in a Salvation Army tin for you. Plus a few grand into the gubbamint's "buy another bank" fund. Beeky PS we've all got "eventual" pensions and remember size is not important. I SAID SIZE IS NOT I M P O R T A N T [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
