OH gets all sniffy when I mention the creditors of the Cayenne driver. OH used to say that the driver was beiing bankrolled by the management but I think that has alos ended in tears. I can see the driver creating a new 'reality' programme to film on a nightly basis. I do hope the driver's creditors are watching.
Kerry Katona, no sooner was she declared bankrupt her husband was driving about in a GTR.

Always amazed me that she bank rolled that taxi driver knobhead she was with and the cars he would regularly spunk her dough on. Mind you, I guess there'd need to be some sort of upside to waking up next to that each morning.

Maybe not in this country, but other parts of the world continue to play stuff. There are also numerous cover versions, soundtracks and samples which will give him a better income than average. 'Glee' apparently got hauled over the coals last year for just this (Do You Wanna Touch?).
