He and Victoria should be able to afford to offset their CO2 emissions from so many air flights. ID: 7424 ·

Which is outrageous? That he is able to accept the payment, or that someone is willing to pay it? It takes two parties to strike the deal :) ID: 7492 ·

You'd be cheating if it was filled with hot air... Which you are TGG ;) ;) Since the Mythbusters tested that filling the ball with helium makes it fly less far, maybe you're off the hook. ID: 9969 ·

If they want me to play football (I'm trying to use the correct terms here...) then they will be extremely disappointed. There are days when I have trouble walking without tripping over my own feet. Ugh... bad flashbacks of elementary school gym class.... Kathryn :o) ID: 10718 ·

He seems to have added Sarkozy to his illustrious coterie of supporters, which may help him to get it. Does anyone out there want my advice? ID: 15721 ·

That means "up to" 250 per year. That would be the maximum limit it could approach. He's looking at making only a small fraction of that right now.
