But as old Captain Kong says, it don't work like that you all had to work to get where you were and good luck to those who got to be big stars either in sport ,acting ,business etc. Or any other area, Except for the politicians who seem to have made their money out of their position i.e. Blair Osbourne & Idi Amin as three examples. By the way any Tranmere supporters out there.
I am a firm Believer that a lot of these people get on because of the circle of contact they've made at the public school they went to if you look at politicians of all sides they're all public school boys with very good contact circles
What is a Tranmere
Well it could be an oil discharge jetty on the river Mersey .Quote:

Originally known as Belmont Football Club, they adopted their current name in 1885. They were a founder member of Division Three North in 1921, and were a member of The Football League until 2015, when they were relegated to the National League, the fifth tier of English football.
During the 1980s, they were beset by financial problems and, in 1987, went into administration. However, this was a prelude to the most successful period in Tranmere's history; under manager John King, the team reached the play-offs for promotion to the Premier League in three successive seasons. Under King's successor, John Aldridge, Tranmere experienced a number of cup runs, most notably reaching the 2000 Football League Cup Final. Other cup runs include reaching FA Cup quarter-finals in 2000, 2001 and 2004.
Tranmere's regular kit is an all-white strip with blue trim, their main colours since 1962. The club moved to its current home, Prenton Park, in 1912. In 1995, the ground had a major redevelopment in response to the Taylor Report. It now seats 16,567 in four stands: the Main Stand, the Kop, the Johnny King Stand and the Cowshed.

If George Osborne could read the posts here he would be very disappointed , everyone's forgotten about him already.
Tran meaning across and mere a body of water suppose originally it meant across water. JWS.
Meanwhile here in Oz the tax man has gone troppo.
All 'super stars' that is the ones who make the news for what ever reason will now be given a tax break.
The tax man has declared that as they are often used as examples of good, or bad, behavior by the press using their name and image is no different to a company logo which would be tax deductible.
So now they will be able to put 20% of their salary into a trust account on which they will only pay 10% tax.
So now think about it, politicians are used as press fodder, so are crims but they get no break at all, unless they break out of jail.
the money Gorge Osbourne is making I don't suppose he cares if we do forget him
