With his track record, you'd think Nick Leeson would be good at losing, but it's not as easy as you'd think when you're doing it on purpose.



My wife gave birth to a baby boy last month. He's the most fantastic thing that's ever happened to me and gives me hours of pleasure every day. Okay, so he stops me playing poker and backing horses, but that's no bother as it means the bank balance looks a bit healthier. Against my wife's wishes, I've put his name down to be the next Governor of the Bank of England and am now looking for someone to give me odds on it happening.
