David Bowie
My ex-boss isn't much of a nutter. But has the most RIDICULOUS theories.

The stupidest one he told me was:

"Oi, Curly" (on account of my hair)

"*sigh* yes Ron?"

"Do you know who was responsible for the Credit Crunch^TM?"

"No, Ron... Gordon Brown? The Clangers?"

"David Bowie"

Apparently, Mr Bowie sold on the rights and royalties to his songs for instant cash (lots of instant cash) to various companies. The banks decided to adopt this policy. Which is why we're in the Credit Crunch^TM.

He then promptly called me and my dad "Vultures" for investing in RBS shares when they were dirt cheap. Cunt.

Length? Well the hinges I was supposed to be pricing were about 8".

I have actually heard the 'Bowie Theorum' before
'He was the first person to sell shares in his future potential income some time in the 70s. This is the basis for modern risky banking.'

Or something.

I hate him more for his terrible recording career, personally.

Yeah thats the one.
Dear god its spreading.

Other Ronnie Branch mumblings include:

. The Labour Party are plotting our downfall
. Hitler had the right idea, but should have picked on Arabs instead of Jews
. And other racist comments.

Byproduct of a different era etc.

I don't accept this "product of a different era" nonsense.
There've been people smart enough to know that racism is a pile of bollocks for centuries now.

It was on some bland product of channel 2 or something.
They were called Bowie Bonds, so now the majority of the populace probably believe Bowie is directly to blame for their homes reposession.
