stupid analogy sir if youll forgive me it would be stupid to give a million quid away if thats all you had you would give away part of it obviously... whereas klf had more than a million... obviously or they surely wouldnt have burnt it! __ kwis )) (( c[_] scuse the epenthesis ***************************** On 8 Dec 2004, at 22:51, jai wrote: so, say, tomorrow morning, you wake up and on the doormat is a letter saying "really sorry, have checked the original tapes, turns out we should have included K Weston in the credits for those tracks, and our lawyers advise us that you're due your percentage of the royalties - please find enclosed a cheque for a million quid" you're telling us that you'd go straight out and give it away to charity would you? somehow i think you'd be just as selfish as everyone else on the planet and you'd spend it on yourself. new house, car, clear any debts or mortgage or whatever, etc etc etc and while it makes you happy - it doesn't actually do any real good for those in the world that actually need it - you might as well have burnt it all for all the good it'll do them
