Later on it did, as I played a lot of Rugby (before I got injured) and at my peak I was 6'4" tall and 250lbs with not an ounce of fat on me. The height has remained the same, but sadly the fat......awip2062 wrote:So does it refer the to American football player then?Fridge wrote: I wish I could claim responsibility for the wiki info, but nowt t'do wi' me unfortunately

T - See if you can guess from this pic where he's Captain Hook from Peter Pan:
Oh, and Fridge. That's exactly the humo(u)r that gets to me as well. Also the likes of Rising Damp, Last Of The Summer Wine, etc.
It's shows like that that keep me going. Postage from there to the states is a pisser, though. I've probably spent more on that than the videos themselves

Obamas Gave Less Than 1 Percent of 2000-2004 Income to Charity
By Ryan J. Donmoyer and Julianna Goldman
March 25 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle gave $10,772 of the $1.2 million they earned from 2000 through 2004 to charities, or less than one percent, according to tax returns for those years released today by his campaign.
The couple earned more than $2.6 million in 2005 and 2006 after the Illinois senator published a bestselling book in 2005. They donated $137,622 over those two years and made their church, Trinity United Church of Christ, one of the biggest beneficiaries of their philanthropy, donating $27,500. Obama is under scrutiny for his ties to the church because of comments made by its senior pastor.
Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?

We're seeing a lot of stories about how rich the Clintons are, now that the tax returns have been released. Plenty of analysis about where their millions came from.
But this headline caght my eye (and dragged it fifteen feet) and reminded me of this thread...
All charitable donations in '06 were to Clinton Foundation

Yeah. This really got me...
During that time, the Clintons paid $33.8 million in federal taxes and claimed deductions for $10.2 million in charitable contributions. The contributions went to a family foundation run by the Clintons that has given away only about half of the money they put into it, and most of that was last year, after Mrs. Clinton declared her candidacy.
Freeze this moment a little bit longer...
