    Sort of right down the middle, and they thoughtfully kept the offset bend and running outlet white. But who in their right mind would want to paint a plastic downpipe? A new pipe costs about £15 for a 5.5 metre length. even with a shoe and some clips you'd get change out of 25 quid. It's a bit sad that I know these things.

    I see poor old Boris Becker might get sent down for fraud this afternoon:

    How can you earn 38 million quid and end up bankrupt? Talk about 'easy come, easy go.'

    'Earnings of around £38 million from his high-flying tennis career were swallowed up by an expensive divorce, child maintenance payments and ‘expensive lifestyle commitments’, he told jurors during his trial.'


    This is the problem when they get all that money so young.

    trouble is he stashed lots of stuff away before the bankruptcy.. he got caught so will liely get a year in a soft jail.. teaching inmates and guards tennis no doubt.

    and yes getting rich young is usually a disaster.... getting super rich/powerful is even worse. you just become a putz instead of a mensch

    Should've gone the Ken Dodd route and stashed it as cash in shoeboxes under the bed. Tell everyone you blew it all on your Faberge egg habit.

    If he'd spent it on records then he would have actually made money, they seem to go up in value on a monthly basis.

    I would guess he spent it on gambling, drink and women. And the rest he just squandered.
