It genuinely made me laugh out loud, and I think it needs sharing, so here it is;

Question: Would Europe back President Blair?

Answer: Preferably off a cliff, at the point of a bayonet.

Well said that man/woman.

Michael Jackson had that many close personal friends?

I think not.

Luckily, though, I see that Lucy has beaten me to it;

“The “Portuguese way of life” is a strange myth invented by the British and the Germans and the Dutch who all come here in search of it, but that’s their problem.  It’s just warmer, the fish is fresher and the beer is cheaper.  Most other things, like working, laundry, washing-up, traffic jams, in-laws, sore feet, etc., are pretty similar, so get over it, you forrins.”

So there you are, if you want to know what the ‘Portuguese way of life’ is really all about, just read the paragraph above, and if that doesn’t do it for you, go read some more.

Check out the secret technology. The question is, will that be banned for providing too much of an advantage to the McClaren team?

We’ll have to wait and see.
