Desr Sir
I am writing in disgust at the news that the Daily Telegraph 'may back Blair'. Although I am a card carrying Lefty with some damn fine credentials, I do believe that this may signify the end of civilisation as we know it. The very fabric of our society is dependent on the certainty of the Telegraph being Tory, Victoria Beckham making a spectacle of herself, and there being delays on the District Line. I strongly disapprove.
Disgusted, of Brixton.
Is it worrying that I wrote this whilst simultaneously stomping round to the gloriously percussive Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 by Elgar. Oh heck, more memories of my weird childhood - my father thought it would be jolly good to learn the words to this. About the same time that I learnt the words to Adeste Fideles, in Latin. Aged 6. Thank heavens for a weird childhood!
Meanwhile, Johnny Rotten signs up for I'm A Nonentity Get Me Out Of Here. Didn't Tom Lehrer have something to say about satire being dead?
(Oh, and note to Alex Best, being the soon-to-be-ex-wife of the greatest ever footballer does not make you a celebrity. Now, IMO, Johnny Rotten is proper celeb. Am I showing my age there?)
Possibly the first blogpost to manage to combine Victoria Beckham, Jonny Rotten and Tom Lehrer, and the the dodgy wives of two legendary Manchester United footballers...
