Poor old Mrs Smith is having a torrid time with expenses claims at the moment!:laugh:

It's good rule to live by that if you're going to watch mucky films don't put it on the wife's expenses.

I love the look on her hubbie's face as he sheepishly has to apologise to the national newspapers for being caught with his hand in the... well, it wasn't the cookie jar, that's for sure.

Is that something you need to learn the hard way or is it really common sense??

I know The Daily Mail has it's detractors, but I firmly believe access to crucial information such as this is essential for sustaining the moral welfare of the many decent citizens of this country.

For example, thanks to the glorious depth of information in the said article, I've now realised that I can consolidate my separate £11 a month subscriptions to each of the three porn channels into just one single payment of £17 per month and saving a whopping £168 a year.

Thanks Jacqui Smith.
Thanks Daily Mail.
