A NEW LIST!

Since last weeks list drew approving comments, here's another. This one is culled from THE TIMES 2009 list of millionaires in the UK, it's a very long list so I abstracted only names that would be familiar and relevant to Spillers, The figure in the first column is the total assets, the second column reflects the losses for the year. Poor old Sting lost 20 million pounds! But wait, he's still got 180 times 1 million pounds in the bank! Bear these names in mind if ever you're tempted to illegally download a tune!
It should be obvious to Mr & Mrs Blimpy what the forthcoming kids first birthday present should be, start saving for a banjo for him!
This is only a partial list, there's many more on the full list.

Sir Mick Jagger £190m £35m Music

"Bear these names in mind if ever you're tempted to illegally download a tune"

@ GF - this list is a good starting point for a "Come the glorious day" debate ...

Shane: I wouldn't exempt Blackwell, I know he's released a lot of Jamaican music but I can't help but think of Jimmy Cliff in The Harder they Come where the record owner offers him 20 dollars, take it or leave it.

Shane, you're being too harsh - it's 30 years

Good to see that Phil C is as talented at investing as he is at singing & acting.

I had forgotten that GF

yep all against the wall then... being a pacifist, I'd then have to sing at them for eternity, that'll learn 'em!

(they are all building sound proof bunkers in their tax havens as we speak.. we are all saved yippee)
