The Judge's verdict


Sod the credit crunch; it's not war, famine or plague. It's not Aids or the discovery of a new cancer. It's only finance. If you worship money enough to feel like the world's coming to an end right now your life was never worth living any way.

Cheer up, take it on the chin, tighten the purse strings and get on with it. This ad helps me do just that. And I hate puns. I've fired people for writing them, but this shameless and completely daft little belter made me grin when I needed one most.
