#1: Some marauding Vikings are planning to buy and merge Iceland, Kwik Save and Somerfield into a single chavvy empire. I recommend that they buy Burberry and Max Power next.
#2: A London porn magnate has shown New York’s gangsters how to be cool: "Do you know why we’re here, you British bastard?" one of the men said. Bailey tried to keep his dignity. "If you know I’m British, [you know] this approach won’t get you anywhere."
#3: Congrats to Tory brat Peter Cuthbertson, whose column in National Review Online is probably the least ignorant thing ever published in that journal. Especially for its wonderfully optimistic (for me, not for he) conclusion: "The Bush administration may soon wake up to a Britain whose prime minister’s pro-Americanism exists only to the extent that America is leftist and liberal, and whose effective commitment to her paramount goals and needs in these difficult times has vanished."
Well, if Britain is so hell-bent on being singularly leftist and liberal, there won’t be much left to base a relationship on anyway. Enjoy the 12% unemployment, stagflation, and evaporation of any real significance in foreign affairs in favor of Washington, Brussels, and Paris. The most interesting thing about this, is that you would conciously decide in favor of that sort of path. There’s a pathology study in here somewhere…
Dear old Timbeaux; trying to sound like that nice Mr Martino – so tough, so butch.
Hey that Richard Desmond sounds like a proper gent, don’t he? Must be great working for him. And he’s a pal of the Prime Minister, too; just goes to show that good guys don’t always finish last.
