Pissing off Ken's deck to water his ferns is one thing. A source of entertainment greatly enjoyed by all, (except Ken) which is of course the perfect form of enjoyment 😂...

Robert Maxwell however used to routinely piss off the top off his Daily Mirror building at Holborn Circus onto the public below.  A really disgusting human being. Call me old fashioned, but I wouldn't want to own, let alone consume anything he laid his hands on. Maxwell's non-existent moral compass aside,  he didn't strike me as a hand washer. A quick slash onto the plebs, and then a nice relaxing PL Magnum whilst he reads the obituaries...happy bidding! 😂

I think they should be thrown into the Thames wrapped in some fishnet stockings...seems fitting.

I was beginning to wonder where you'd gone  @99call, there's a lot of bait you've done well to resist over the last couple of months! 

Hope you're keeping well.

I do love the "Fox One Bond Street" motif.

Thank you gents. I'm well and hope you, and all the FOH regulars are in fine fettle. I'm sure I will be back for the next episode of 'Cash in the Sociopaths Attic'.
