Vince Watch

Its Cousin Vinny's 60th birthday today. Here he is pictured recently with Sluffy's bete noire.


Why has he had shocking pink highlights put in his hair? What's he trying to prove?

Great news for Hearts. Ann Budge has done an amazing job up there.

Impressive that, Boncey. The Jam Tarts supporters have raised £12million apparently. That's about the same as Cousin Vinny's taken out of Ecotricity in interest free loans - at the last count- but not as much as the COVID cash he's latched on to. He seems peculiarly flush at the moment for some reason.

Can you remind me how much BWFCST has raised  so far?

Not without my financial advisor, Big Stan. He'll be out in a couple of weeks.

I hope Big Stan will have learned his lesson when he comes out, Boncey.

Anyroad at the last count the ST had accumulated £48K after nearly five years. Try working out for yourself how many years it'll take 'em to raise £12million at that rate.

 Tbf though they did give £8.5K to the now defunct BW Ladies.

Did anyone see Cousin Vinny on Aunty Beeb's News tonight? I thought he seemed worried.
I do hope that he wasn't worrying unnecessarily.

I gather he was on Newsnight too interviewed by Emily Maitliss. Did the redoubtable Miss Maitliss ask him any interesting questions like, for example:

How much debt did Ecotricity run up before Brexit, COVID and the increase in wholesale gas prices?

Why did he take out £12million in interest-free loans from Ecotricity?

How much tax did he pay on it?

How did Ecotricity manage to get its accounts so wrong?

How much has Ecotricity had in furlough grants and COVID loans?

How much has Ecotricity spent on Forest Green Rovers?

Don't tell me, I'm guessing she asked him nothing about any of it.
