what a plonker

Post by john kerwin »

Major General jailed for fraud. Claimed £48,000 over school fee's. claiming he was living in London, when staying near the school in Dorset.
Jailed for 21 months. Pension lost and still has to pay the 48grand back. He has now lost his good name, and God only knows how much his pension was worth.
Silly sod.
Some person had some bottle to pursue a high ranking officer. You don't want to mess with him whoever he is.

Thank f... for that John, when I saw the title I thought you meant me :lol: :lol:

Beware, there are so many that have been on the gravy train for so long that they don't even realise they are doing it. I should not be surprised if it wasn't the guy who gave him the tip on how to fill in the claim forms who later dropped him in the shit. Promotion is very slow at the top !

Thank f... we never got that far eh, there would be enough plonkers willing to spill the beans on us :lol: :lol: :lol:

Facebook had problems for seven hours (yes, seven hours!) on Monday this week.

Mark Zuckerberg lost $6,000,000,000 in yesterday’s Facebook outage
Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg took a hefty financial hit yesterday as the social network suffered a disastrous outage.

The billionaire’s net worth dropped by $6 billion (£4.4 billion) as Facebook’s share price plummeted.
Now that sort of money is obscene! Do I feel really sorry for him?

What a shame !
I don't use facebook or whatsapp or any other facilities associated with that prat, so I couldn't enjoy contributing to his losses :(.
What a shame !

Perhaps it will make people think how fickle 'shares' are, nothing more than a spark, once seen forever gone :lol: :lol:

Bob, thanks for this post and for ensuring our own security, from internal and external forces ;).

Bill,

Do these people not see the crashing irony in all that they do as Lefties. Here they are fabulously wealthy but trying like crazy to stay the elite but keep all the plebs under their thumbs.
Here I go again, voicing a conspiracy theory. It must be a devious plan put together by the elites, do they have a secret meeting, somewhere to formulate these plans and work out the ways they can keep the people down-trodden???? Wonder if it is on St James Island, one of Epstein's hideaways? May he (RIH). How long do they intend to keep the 'Court Jester' in power?
Must not do this, or I might be cancelled on the Internet! DILLIGAF! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Arnie :D :D :D :D :D :D
