Great News

Okay...if you look through the last few dozen posts, all it's been are gripes and groans.

I would like to challenge you all to state which piece of recent news has made you smile.

And by that, I mean a nice piece of news. Let's leave immigrant-bashing, Daily Mail-bashing, Boris/Gordon/Tory/Labour-basing out of it.

I would like to open the batting by stating that the picture of Kylie receiving her OBE off Prince Charles made me smile.

Now...over to you.

That Dubya may have a fitting monument named after him - a sewage plant!

This one made me laugh, especially the picture with the title.

Prince Harry with members of the Household Cavalry Regiment help with the project, which is close to the Prince's heart.

It got me thinking, is there an equal opportunity scheme running in the Household Cavalry?

Sorry about that sp1814, I wasn't being racist. Can I have another go?

has the Mail gone mad, AOG? Never wear sunglasses in the pool? I don't wear mine when actually swimming; but at any other time if I don't wear glasses I can't see. And on bright days they need to be sunglasses. And as for Janet Jackson being overplucked... nonsense, as even their photo demonstrates. She looks fine. (I have to agree with them on see-through, though.)

This made me giggle, though of course it comes close to both Bush-bashing and Silvio-bashing:

Don't blame the Mail for everything jno.

If you take of your sun glasses, you will noticed that the Mail extracted these tips from Debrett's new updated Eliquette Guide for Girls.

The Mail provided the pictures of the stars who they considered fell foul of these new social rules..

doesn't matter where they got (or stole) their ideas from, AOG, if they print it they take responsibility for it. I hope Janet Jackson sues them. The very idea!

On what grounds jno?

That the Daily Mail said "she had been over plucked"?

Let me add my comments, she looks foul.

No feed back on Harry's African adventure yet.
