Thanks for Iain for plugging my drinking skills as well as pointing me to this budget game. So far I have managed to crash the page twice, and now I am attempting to do it again. Methinks my ideas on tax are giving the program indigestion. Let’s put it this way, drinkers, smokers, car drivers, and anyone earning money would love me, the lazy; the left and the “world owes me a living” types would want to lynch me.

Please note that I was not able to have a flat income tax or eliminate the NHS.

Natalie has managed to do the unthinkable. She dragged me, (kicking and screaming) over to an article on the Groniad (Guardian) web page. In this great piece Rod Liddle tears into the cretinous poet, Tom Paulin (The Telegraph’s letters page contains a laughable defence of the man.) and defends the right of the BNP to be heard. No doubt continued viewing of the letters page of the Groniad should make for some amusing reading.
