Anyone see any of Charlie's confirmation thingy this morning? What a load of old bollocks! I'd love it if he was an atheist, they'd have no ceremony Every other word is "god". Gordon Brown and Skeletor Blair are looking old.
Let's be honest, the whole leadership contest was a joke. I reckon they elect a puppet whose strings they can pull (or snip) on purpose. The last thing any (modern) party wants is a forceful leader with their own ideas.
He's the Tampon King!............................ The Crown is sometimes accused of overly sensationalising the real-life stories of the Royal family, but there’s one famous moment from the 80s that even series writer Peter Morgan chose to steer clear of. Had Morgan dreamt up the storyline and dialogue of Prince Charles telling his then-mistress, Camilla Parker-Bowles, that he wished he could be reincarnated as a tampon, so he could live inside her, the audience would have surely deemed it crass and too far-fetched. But, as we’ve often found out by running to Wikipedia at the end of each episode, the truth is much stranger than fiction. And, absolutely mortifying to all involved, Tampongate was one bloody scandal that rocked British society in January 1993. The press had an absolute field day when, just three months after Charles and Princess Diana had formally separated, a full transcript of a ‘sexy’ telephone call between Charles and Camilla in 1989 was printed in the People newspaper. Under a headline ‘Charles and Camilla - the tape’, the explicit six-minute phone call went into excruciating detail as the long-time lovers fantasised about being intimate with each other. Even worse, there was full audio to accompany it, thanks to a rogue radio enthusiast who had stumbled upon the chat using a hi-tech scanning device. 30 years on, their conversation is still body-shudderingly cringeful.................
