    Vladimir Putin worked as a cab driver because there were not enough official taxis around the time of the break up of the USSR - apparently the KGB didn't pay enough. Is that the one ?

    She has lots of tattoos. Galileo Galilei is a bit of a hero of mine as you can probably imagine. I did a 2000 word essay about his trials and tribulations as part of an HND course....

    Righty ho, thinking cap on...
