One of the 'il-Lib-non-Dem' cabinet ministers who, er, stands straight and true and is a hero to us heterosexuals is, of course, Chris Huhne. As I have told you before, his good works amongst the lesbian community has resulted in at least one poor confused woman being led back to the manifold delights offered by chaps. Of course, it is a pity that his missus, hitherto the grateful recipient of 'Hot Dog' Huhne's undoubted libido, was rather muffed miffed when she found out and instead of agreeing to join the party - no, no, not the 'il-Lib-non-Dems', do pay attention! - instead she ratted him out to the 'Plods' by claiming that she took the penalty points he should have incurred whilst speeding dangerously in his car. There is a totally unconfirmed rumour going about that the speed of the car gradually increased as he was explaining in some detail to her exactly where-in lay the pleasures of Sappho.

Anyway I remind you of all this rather stale tittle-tattle because the latest news is that The Times has withdrawn its objection to providing the 'Plod' with the e-mails in which, apparently, the ungrateful ex-Mrs. Huhne blew her master's cover story to smithereens! Surely the so-called Director of Public Prosecutions-Provided-You-Are-Not-A-Cabinet-Minister can no longer continue the soft-shoe shuffle he has executed so brilliantly for so long and any minute now poor old Chris will have his collar felt and even - oh, say it ain't so! - face the rigours of 'D' Wing where-in, I am assured by commenters at Guido's place, 'Big Bubba' is waiting impatiently!
I am in London for most of the day tomorrow so whilst I'm away you can amuse yourselves, provided you are not easily shocked, by reading the suggestions to Guido's caption competition which this week features our hero.
If your day tomorrow is not too jammed with meetings, press conferences & the like, please drop into the Duke of York Square just off Kings Road Chelski where you can sample the many delights of the Partridges Saturday Market (delicious food to go from 15 different countries) but more especially an award winning gourmet savoury Pie from the Pieminister stall. The best value lunch in West London & to you, sir, gratis & for nothing. Just mention the secret password (my name is Lobby Lud & I claim my free pie) to your friendly pie operative who will be pleased to take care of all your pie needs.
Kind regards

David, that sounds like an excellent idea but alas on this visit - a gang of us are going up to see 'Noises Off' there will be no time. However, it has been duly noted and will be taken advantage of later in the year - thanks.
DM, I've only had a chance to read the first few lines but make mine a pint, will you?!

Oh lucky you. I love "Noises Off".
Hope you enjoyed it.

We did! One of the greatest farces ever written, in my opinion. A sort of Michael Green 'Course Acting' play done by professionals.

Indeed and I'm giving "Tinker, Tailor, etc." 10/10.
A great display of less is more acting by Hurt & Co.

Glad you enjoyed it, Andra, I think it is a terrific piece of work.

"a chance to read the first few lines" - no, no, no; you really must read it all.

Thank God you reminded me, DM, because it had slipped my mind. What an absolute hoot! And I would have paid good money to watch those American matrons.
