Nice knowing you...

Grab a shovel, Boris: Whose going to dig Dave out of that?

Friday August 31st: It was always going to happen. All the parties involved knew that it was inevitable. They were just waiting for it to be said out loud....Opinion polls released today have confirmed what this blog has been stating for the best part of a month. That an autumn election would end in a landslide Labour victory. Diet Blair came back quite hard this week, by actually saying something, but it was too little too late. He's ($5000 love seat) outta here....

Just call me the Black David Frost.

Now, everybody - do the Brown Bounce...

Gordon celebrated by getting extra busy and collaborating on an article with Nicolas Sarkozy for The Times on their efforts to bring broker a ceasefire in Darfur. After some of the madness which has occured in the Middle East since 20th March 2003, the final paragraph offers what seems like a very level-headed mission statement:

"It is a combination of a ceasefire, a peacekeeping force, economic reconstruction and the threat of sanctions that can bring a political solution to the region and we will spare no efforts in making this happen."

which basically means:

"George isn't involved, so we stand less chance of fucking it up."

Also today is the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana's death. Now, I've badmouthed quite a few people on here for the sake of cheap laugh. I have no jokes to crack about Di. I was given the morning off my job at the time (Sainsbury's in Woking town centre) to watch her funeral, which was nice, because otherwise I would have had to go in for 7AM as usual, and work on the wide till - the only one in the building begin enough to accomodate the prams, normally laden with screaming babies. Whilst recovering from a night on the sauce and little to no sleep, that shit was most definitely not fun. And after the televised procession, the nation was so drained after the communal catharsis that they were too tired to shop. Best work day ever.

In Prince-related news today, last week's support act, Common, has announced that he is teaming up with Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest to form a group called The Standard. I, for one, am school-girl-excited about it...

Show (Unlucky for some) 13 tonight...
