Jaguar are in the process of being possibly bailed out of the shit by the UK Gov't. Funny, I didn't see the letter from Mr Brown offering to pull my company out of the shit a couple of months ago.

How is this possible? I can just see the letter now from Jag's owners:

Mr G Brown
10 Downing Street
London

Re: Please help Jaguar survive to see a new year

Dear Binky,

So long since we got together for golf. Sorry I missed your last birthday. I was busy holidaying in The Maldives for a couple of months.
Anyway, I've run in to a spot of bother. My chaps at my little car project have made a bit of a boo-boo. I didn't pay any attention to them, and they produced a long line of slightly overpriced cars that no-one liked. We're in a spot of bother as I can't afford the mortgage payment on my third châteaux, whilst spending a couple of extra months on that fact finding trip around Morocco.
Any chance you can give us some of that taxpayer stuff everyone's on about, so I can go back to my trip in peace and shut up the wingers?

Love,
Dinky.

PS How's the new car working out for you?

I can see it now...

Just read this on Yahoo - couldn't believe what I was reading!

This is what happens when we let Laywers roam in the free world. The world goes sue crazy. I mean, suing someone who's just saved your life?

I broke my leg a few years ago (I fell out of the works van). It was my fault, and as it's my company I couldn't sue anyone. But I wouldn't want to anyway - as long as I was paid fully for my time off as the accident happened in work. If not, I would then think I had some sort of case. But even then, only for the pay I was missing out on.

Quite frankly, this sort of thing just pisses me off. It's a waste of everyone's time. And to be honest, an event like this should make you appreciate your life a little more.
