He was on the telly again last night, did you see him? They have elections where there's only one candidate in places like Zimbabwe don't they? I see that (some of) us Brits made a plucky little "erm, we're not quite sure that this is right old bean" objection, which not surprisingly fell on stony ground. Reminds me of an old war film. John Mills is England, all grubby-faced and wandering around the exercise yard dropping bits of earth nonchalantly down his trouser leg. That Scottish actor with the funny eye and a mad look on his face is there backing England up muttering to himself "aye wee laddie I'm right behind you." Wales and Ireland, they're neither use nor ornament. They want to escape but they'd also like to see England and Scotland get caught and shot, so they stay in the hut pretending to be forging papers and making uniforms out of old blankets. The rest of the camp are lined up outside the commandant's office where he hands out chocolate bars every day at noon in exchange for "favours". They'll dob England and Scotland in to the guards if they get even the slightest hint of an escape plan. I've done a special pooh just for you today Sepp. It's in the post....
You couldn't make it up could you. I spent much of the weekend dozing on the sofa watching telly. Glastonbury was on, although sad to say there was no Snoop Dog, Bone Jovi or any other canine related artists. The big news seemed to be the lack of female headliners and now we know why as one scored a spectacular own goal. She missed her slot cos she was doing her hair. It takes ages she said. Why NOT start doing your hair well before your show time. Aaagh no where's my handbag I've left it in the car, I've got to back to fetch it.
