Manchester University: venture capital fund

Manchester University is setting up a £50 million venture capital fund. This is brilliant news for Maurice Marble III - Acton's leading brain specialist.

I spoke to Maurice this morning and he told me, 'I'm hoping they will want to invest some money in one of my schemes. I'm building a new machine to rival the Brain Burster, I'm working on some satellite stuff that connects to the astral plane, and loads of other things. They better give me some of the money. I want some respect.'

Manchester University will be in partnership with MTI Partners. Ernie Richardson, chief executive of MTI, says, 'We know all about Mr Marble and his ludicrous experiments, and we want nothing to do with him.'
