He surely has enough money by now to see him through the last months. Perhaps 40+ years of 'Just a Minute' has seared his shame awareness module.

And Michael 'king Parkinson selling funeral plans! Does he need the fee so he can build a home extension to keep all his other money in?

Sorry, shouldn't drink at lunchtime.

Yes, one's flogging loans at an APR of 4,000% and the other's pushing a totally useless and expensive insurance policy on the back of a free pen.

Your problem's not drinking at lunchtime it's watching day time t.v.

Shame on you Nicholas Parsons - selling your soul to these userers. You live in a wonderful comfortable world and cannot even begin to comprehend the absolute desperation or stupidity of the people that decide to borrow money at over 4,000%. Yes Nicholas 4,000%. Makes the Krays look like angels.

Stop it now and give your pound of flesh to a debt counselling charity - and please take care who you endorse in the future. You are so far above this.

I work for Wonga.

Don't knock it. You might need it sometime. Let's face it - you aren't going to make a living doing this.
