those were the days

once upon a time the Queen Mary in wartime risked submarines to cross the Atlantic at 40 knots carrying 40,000 troops the hell with danger , this week stranded passengers in santander refused on a ship once the normal quota was filled , there are no u boats no, ice bergs but we stuck to the rules .what a lumbering timid country we've become; lord Adonis never was a man less aptly named ,can't even organise buses to rescue people from Madrid . there are 4 times as many people in ministry of transport than ran the whole of the British empire .yet we cant manage rescue a few tourists what a government- i cant imagine what people who are useless at everything want to stay in power for

dan snow a chevalier for the 21st century

Dan Snow is a u.k tv presenter of excellently crafted history programmes .this is an action man who is not a fake, three times a member of the oxford boat race crew he confirmed his hero satus this weekend . due to the volcanic eruption he organised boats to go to Calais to rescue stranded Brit's he intended to go back for more, unfortunately despite having his paper work endorsed by the french embassy the french police in Calais prevented him for doing more ,in fact they broke their own law .you can transport people as long as you name them .perfidious french police did nothing to lessen Anglo french prejudice by thwarting the hunk de jour d'angleterre in his quest to be a modern day knight errant

the opposite of sport

we are not rejoicing at nadal's resurgence at Monaco .the final had all the nadal hall marks bashingly boring tennis slugging at the ball, grunting, an opponent made to look a complete fool .this isn't tennis its a demolition and totally negative .since his demise through injury things have perked up no end, decent matches, the thrill of not knowing the outcome ,now he's back with his ludicrous outfits ,his awful English, and tennis reporters drooling over his physique like Moon struck girls,- i hope doesn't herald a baleful summer of tennis , of course he's not alone in ruining his sport, schumaker ,Alex Ferguson and martina have all had their stint .so why don't we all hate roger federer is it to do with his modesty, his artistry ,his grace in defeat , something this motly crew Know nothing about

Rumeurs de naufrage

La vie politique française s'articule depuis quelques semaines désormais autour des "rumeurs", rumeurs d'infidélité du couple présidentiel, "rumeurs"...le mot est étrange, il sent mauvais. D'anciens ministres ont été mis en accusation pour avoir colporté ces informations, fausses ou vraies peu importe...car le naufrage est intégral. Les voleurs d'idéaux ne cessent jamais de frapper, la France change: il faut se rendre à l'évidence la vulgarité s'installe. Les responsables se roulent dans la boue, là, devant une population comme assommée par ce lamentable déballage obscène. Personnellement je ressens une honte profonde. Je ne comprends plus la façon dont mon propre pays est gouverné, je ne comprends plus, c'est la défaite totale du monde des idées qui triomphe devant un peuple muet. La force de se relever sera-t-elle concevable ?

POLITICAL WAGS

WE HAVE AN ELECTION IN U'K AND IT IS BECOMING OVERRUN WITH POLITICAL WIVES ,FIRST WE HAVE SARAH BROWN SHAMELESSLY INTERVENING ON HER HUSBAND'S BEHALF THE VERY UN- APPETISING GORDON BROWN,EXPOSING THEIR INNER MOST SECRETS ON TV, HIDEOUS AND CRINGE MAKING .NOW WE HAVE SAMANTHA CAMERON DRAGGED IN, NOT ONLY IS HE PREGNANT SHE HAS A JOB WHICH IS MORE THAN MRS BROWN SO SHE SHOULD GET ON WITH IT . WHY ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE INFLUENCED BY THESE WIVES , WHAT THEY SAY WHAT THEY WEAR. WHY DO CELEBRITY'S TELL US WHO THEY ARE SUPPORTING, IT IS AN INSULT TO THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE ELECTORATE TO THINK THIS MATTERS ,DEMOCRACY MATTERS ,POLICY MATTERS, DECENCY MATTERS, TELLING THE TRUTH MATTERS, GORDON BROWN COLD BE INVOLVED WITH KATE WINSELT BE MARRIED TO KEIRA KNIGHTLY AND IT WOULD NOT MAKE A SCRAP OF DIFFERENCE TO HOW I VOTE- POLITICAL WAGS STAY HOME LET YOU STUPID HUSBANDS STAND OR FALL WITHOUT YOU

lucky escape

carla bruni was hoping for a role in new woody allen movie but has been passed over for marion cotillard considering the patchy nature of allens recent work and the lack of acting experience on the part of madame sarkozy i am not sure who has had the lucky escape
