I was leaning over sorting out some papers on my desk today and a colleague came up to my desk and started talking about a meeting the team were having. When I looked up I immediately realised where he had been looking and he got a bit flustered. I put my hand on my top to hold it against me and gave him a look of disdain back. Am i being unreasonable to think that any reasonable man would have averted their eyes? What would you do?

Fiat currency? When did Italian motor cards become currency? I know things are a bit strapped in Italy but really...

I wonder if the real Tulisa knows where to use apostrophes? Important, in a role model, I think.... We should know these things.

Thank you so much, this has made my Friday!

'By the way fakebook, I've just been chatting to DP over facebook (it's not fake ) and he says 'A lot of the stuff that's reported on the news are false flag events designed to garner pyrrhic support from an apathetic and ignorant populous in order to justify further incursions into lands rich with mineral resources and black gold. This allows the debt ponzi to be continued'. Now, I have little idea what that means, but it sounds like he knows what he's talking about.'

If you don't know what he means, but he sounds like he knows what he's talking about, never go and buy a car on your own.

OP, we know you are being mendaciloquent, albeit, covertly. Your arcipluvian description of your "dp's" views make me cachinnate.

In regards to your booby problem, I can only think that you must be so eumorphous

I've asked him for a dumbed down version - he's actually part of the campaign for plain english so he was happy to help.

Ponzi - an investment scam where early participants returns come purely from money invested by new participants in the scheme. He says the UK housing market and the state pension are excellent examples of this.

Fiat Currency - a currency backed by government backed that will usually end up not being fulfilled to creditors as they thought as the seductive nature of paying back debts by printing more takes hold. He says any money not backed by gold isn't real.

If it is a regular having a lark then I salute her research "fiat money" in particular is a classic financial conspiracy buzzphrase - put it into Google with a few of the other gems from "DH" and you'll be up to your neck in Icke-ite Iizard-spotters.

I've been reading 'fiat money' as 'flat money'...now the Italian motor car comment makes a bit more sense Blush

Hey TulisaLover would you like to tell us what a Bank of England shill is?

Quick ask your partner, he'll know!

Can you DP share his wisdom on the proposition that given no ecomomy uses the Gold Standard should we all be buying Fiat 500's to hedge against the faux keynesian philosophy being perpetuated by Bank of Englad shil's....

I'm really worried about this and in the market for a new car.

Any advice on which model to go for would also be appreciated - was thinking of the "Twin Air" and your other half clearly has a full understanding of gas management.

It would be such relief to get some expert male advice on this troubling subject so I can stop worrying my pretty little head about it.

DP : A shill is basically someone who pretends to be independent when offering an opinion, when they are actually working towards a hidden agenda for someone else.

He says the ideal fiat to go for is a 1995 Panda. Frugal and fulfils the bangernomics philosophy he rigorously adheres to.

Wow - My colleague just came into apologise for yesterday... he says he was ashamed of his behaviour. I've told him that in future he should simply turn around and speak to ne with his back. turned if I'm leaning over. he's happy to do so, so we've come to an amicable agreement on a going forward basis.

Thank you

I shall start my searh on AutoTrader forthwith. Any advice on colour? I am concerned that red might infer associations with keynesian, when I generally subcribe to supply side economics as advocated by monetarist policy with a dash of libertarian ideology.

Its all so confusing....whats a girl to do?
