No wonder you’ve been struggling to pay the bills
Remember "Ooh poor me, I'm discriminated against for being white and middle-class and speaking English, although it's fair to say I do owe money and am therefore unfairly penalising other hard-working taxpayers who manage to stump up for council tax despite there being a credit crunch (OK, the last bit of that isn't really in there)" right-kind-of-immigrant-for-the-Mail Jonathan Hartman from yesterday?
No wonder times are tough.

Bless ‘im…
“Alas, poor Jonathan. An actor whose attempts to work with the Royal Shakespeare Company have been continually spurned has exacted the ultimate revenge. He has drawn up a will leaving his skull to the RSC, so that he can appear in Hamlet for ever.
Jonathan Hartman, who has appeared at the Bristol Old Vic, in films and on television, believes that the part of the deceased jester, Yorick, will now be his in perpetuity…
The Royal Shakespeare Company’s spokeswoman, Zoe Mylchreest, said that Mr Hartman’s dream was unlikely to be realised. “We couldn’t use a real skull on stage as bone is too brittle and the skulls get some rough handling.” She added, woundingly, that Mr Hartman would not even be the first to bequeath a skull. A musician had done the same some years ago. Even after death a rejection slip awaits Mr Hartman.”

Has it occurred to Jonathan that if you turn up to your court hearing in a snazzy suit and continually brag about self-sufficiency, it’s going to look like you’re not having any real financial difficulties and so only missed the payment because you’re a stingy arse?

@ Alex: nonono, you get dressed up like that in court to prove that you’re not one of those other people.
