I feel that we're straying from the serious issue of gold finding, gentlemen. With the government's continual asset stripping of UK plc I'm hedging my pension hopes on that pot of gold... Incidentally, about this time last year I saw a double rainbow. Do you think this is like a 'roll over'...

Thanks guys

Jonny's right, don't call these things. I used to work in telecoms - as long as a call costs less than £1.50 per minute and the total call cost doesn't exceed £25, the call isn't subject to Ofcom regulation. (might be a year out of date now).

ah ha. Misread that. Thanks

This joke's virgin on the ridiculous
