Weekly Bonus Question 10:28am on 10 Jul 2009 What, in the US, contains 97.5% zinc, and can kill dogs and parrots if swallowed?
Credit crunch - from bad to verse 2:52pm on 27 Nov 2008 Gordon Brown,
hit town,
interest started going down.

Darling man,
scraping pan,
Something started hitting fan.

Then disgrace,
lost face,
could't care less about human race.

Big bank,
think tank,
Then quite suddenly, it sank.

Savings gone,
alright my son,
No new motor this time, John.

Tax paid,
funds waylaid,
Now I'll have to sack the maid.

Woollies broke,
MFI, a joke,
I am just a baffled bloke.

Just one question while I'm on...
...WHERE has all the money gone?
Does capitalism still work? 1:35pm on 17 Sep 2008 "What exactly should regulators have stopped the banks from doing?"

They should have stopped them paying millons of pounds in bonuses to people making rash and unsustainable decisions on lending.

They should have stopped that bloke singing on the adverts.
Is it possible to stop illegal immigration? 1:17pm on 29 Aug 2008 As with most other documents, if you know where to go you can probably get false documents easier than the real thing.

Like shotgun licences, which cost around £40 a time, criminals don't seem to bother sending four photographs to the Police and getting an officer round to inspect the gun clamp.

It'll be the same with ID cards.

Passports can be forged.

Birth Certificates seem easy to acquire.

Credit card fraud and identity theft seem out of control.

Why should immigration documents be any different?

The advert, warning that if the licence isn't valid immigrants won't get through, is a joke.

How many illegal immigrants were employed by the Home Office at the last count?
What could Gordon do to turn it around? 1:14pm on 25 Jun 2008 What could Gordon do to turn it around?

Resign.
