FEARN-tastic! |
| |
Fearne Cotton has earned herself the rather nice position of being one of Britain’s best loved young presenters. At just 26 and with a wealth of experience under her belt already, she is constantly in demand by television producers as well as big events promoters.
Although, Fearne has a very hectic schedule, she ensures she devotes time, energy and a lot of enthusiasm to children’s charities. In fact, OINK! first bumped into her when she was doing Comic Relief does Fame Academy. Since then, Fearne has become a special ambassador for World Vision’s 24 Famine Relief initiative, and, of course, she co-hosts BBC TV’s Children in Need with Sir Terry Wogan. Fearne is now working on projects in the US. |

MORE BEEF
MORE OUTRAGEOUS SATIRE
Oh, it’s so naughty…. But let’s face it, guys, it’s about time we said something and had somewhere to say it. It’s up to us kids – I’m with you!! - to lead the way, ‘cause the adults are making a real hash of it - aren’t they?
THIS ISSUE:
Looking west, they’re having a lot of fun in America where Obi-TWO Kenobi is battling it out with Hilary Billary to find out who’s going to be the next prez of the USA. Note to all contenders. Please read up on who’s who in world government. Apparently, neither Obi nor BILLary knew who the next prez of Russia is going to be. Rutin Tuttin Putin, of course – sillies!

Mr Macaroon has been conspicuously silent of late, although he did smack a botty or two when it transpired that some naughty MPs on his side of the House – one in particular - had a momentary lapse and thought they were newsagents or the royals, and had the cheek to employ their entire families (well almost) at the nation’s expense.

REACH FOR THE SKY
How to get onto the Stock Exchange.
No, this is not about some cheesy western where the good guys (or bad guys) have pulled out their six-shooters and order their antagonists to put their hands high up over their heads. This is, instead, about an equally tough, ruttin’, shootin’ winner-takes-all-game called “Going Public” – becoming a PLC.

AS WITH ANYTHING IN THE CITY AND THE HEADY WORLD OF FINANCE, WHAT IS A DISASTER TO ONE PERSON IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANOTHER. THE RECENT WEEKS AND THE CURRENT TURMOIL IN FINANCIAL MARKETS HERE AND ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD HAVE SHOWN THAT WHERE THERE ARE LOSERS THERE ARE INVARIABLY WINNERS.
And nowhere is this more clearly illustrated than right here on our doorstep. Well, in Newcastle, actually. Northern Rock, as we all know, is a bank that ran into trouble. Depositors flocked to withdraw their savings. A bank run! In order to ensure the bank would not collapse when so much money was literally pouring out of it, the British Government came to its rescue and “guaranteed” the bank’s depositors they’d get all their money if they just left it in the bank. In effect, the Government said it would always provide the bank with enough money to pay anyone who wanted to withdraw their cash. The money had to come from somewhere, though. And, being a Government guarantee that meant that this money would have to come from the British taxpayers. Thanks, Government! The losses could mount up to over £100 billion. That’s a cost of about £3,500 to every taxpayer in the country! Big money. So, the depositors are winners, and the taxpayers could be losers.
