[kj] Miks DVDs

Mon Mar 14 12:17:04 EST 2005

I also provided him with one of his best selling titles.
  I really cant understand why you would nt like to see Mik prosper.What
have you got against Mik doing well?If he was making money at my expense and
cutting my profits then i could understand it.
    Personally,I would like to see all my friends or acquaintances doing
well(All three of them:-) (Or is it the English way to begrudge successful
people)
   Or maybe you are happy being part of one big family without a pot to piss
in,And whoever starts doing well for themselves must be stopped?
     That 30 second clip from "Thats life" is freely  available from Ades
site (Cheers Ade ;-)
   So why do people begrudge other people raking it in?
