Hope its sex, drugs and rock n roll. Whatever it is you'll survive it CHAV.;-)

Could be worse - you could have chewed off Freddie Starr

Oh laugh it all off and be grateful for some publicity. It will matter little. The chances of Riverside going Green are about as good as Harriet H hanging on to power.

CWLD - Follow Lord Wellington's example and tell the press to "publish and be damned". Alternatively - choose a good day to bury bad news - such as any day when Gordon Brown has to defend his government - pretty much any day this week, next week and on into the future.

Give us a proper clue CWALD!

To be positive about the solids flying, after its all over you will have been somwhere that most people on the planet can only dream about what its like to go on such a journey. There are no tickets at the travel agency for this trip! You will look back one day ..............

I'm not sure there's anything you could say that would surprise or shock us is there? You've been disarmingly (or is that aquatically) honest with us up to now.

She's handled an anonymous Labour Party donation, before going Green.

Sex and drugs but no rock and roll.

Why not use this space to come out with your own spoiler? Just put a pos spin on it to deflect any bad press. Nero

CWALD don't worry too much. A story about one of my siblings and the Royal Family did a front page and 5 more in the NoTW many years ago. I was dreading facing friends and colleagues the following Monday morning. Said sibling left the country while things cooled down and it soon blew over. People have short memories unless you continue to fan the flames. Lay low, don't comment. I hear Sudan is nice this time of year!

[TillieTrotter]

Ooh, spill the beans Loz.

[mockney piers]

Intrigued now.

Would their posting name be KozzyKoo if they joined?

[*Bob*]

Lozzy, your sibling wasn't the manservant who (allegedly) gave Charles a blower, was he?

[TillieTrotter]

Oh *Bob* what are you like!

[Maurice]

No he was a PR type who sat things out in Oz.

I'm right, eh?

[Brendan]

So the press will have us believe that sex and drugs are somehow scandalous or amoral and affect a person?s ability to hold a post of office. In my experience it is completely normal for most people to indulge in at least one and preferably both at some time in their lives.

So what about this? We will consider someone a suitable candidate for office if they are at the top of their profession as say, a barrister (i.e. fighting for the highest bidder regardless of the morality involved) or in the military (i.e. killing people to order regardless of the morality involved) or as a career politician (i.e. backstabbing, taking bribes, cutting corners etc regardless of the morality involved). The activities that they engage in as part of their careers are morally reprehensible but accepted as what needs to be done. We somehow gloss over the fact that it takes a person who is a bit of a bastard to do these things. This is why, thankfully, we aren?t all at it. But do we want to be ruled by bastards?

So why, if someone?s idea of a good time is taking a peyote suppository, being strapped naked to a tomb stone covered in quince jelly and beef drippings while punters in gorilla suits arm-wrestle each other to have a go, is it an issue? I can?t see how that could give me any evidence from which to make a judgment on what type of person they are or how they feel towards their fellow man.

Actually, fuck it. If people are stupid enough to eat the shit that is fed to them by the newspapers they deserve to be ruled by bastards.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Why Brendan darling, is that your own fantasy? Who'd have thought it.

[Brendan]

Nah,I was holding back. This is a public forum after all.

[lozzyloz]

No *Bob* it was way before that but you're very close.

I'm sorry, I can't reveal anymore. Too much shame - and before you ask, no I wasn't personally involved in the "scandal".

[Jah Lush]

Aha! Was he the windowcleaner who allegedly saw Prince Micheal of Kent rogering a manservant? Or the was he the manservant on the receiving end of said rogering?

[Brendan]

Was it the one involving HRH and the quince covered sex gorilla?
