different kind of fisting.

Clary was banned from the BBC for a remark that he had just been fisting Norman Lamont out the back.

I think he wants us to lend the Paddies seven billion. In exchange for having his drive tarmacked.

Totally off-topic but he gave me a school prize - i still have the book.

They owe us 140bn so it's not entirely a bad proposition, with strings attached.

Didnt we do something similar with Iceland, whose people then voted not to pay us back, but took the loans anyway?

I could see a theme starting here.
