Minger Schminger

So there we go then. Ming the Merciless elected on a 72% turnout - less than three-quarters seems pretty pathetic for a bunch of so-called political activists (cf: the 92% turnout in the Palestinian elections). I did like the way the result was announced by a man with a mittel-European accent, making the whole event sound as though it was a quarrel in a faraway country between people of whom we know nothing. Chris Huhne may be a fine person with admirable qualities for all I know, but I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard him accepting defeat. On air he comes across as the most boring person on earth, and reminds me of me (aurally, as it were, missus) though also reassuringly not shit-faced in any sense of the word.
Meanwhile...David Mills claims to have received a gift of £350,000 from "Diego" who says he couldn't have sent it to him as he was in prison on suspicion of corruption at the time. The details are too much for me at this time of night (and I've tried, believe me) but Mills says his letter to his accountant was part of an "insane ploy" to get tax advice for an unnamed friend. Tessa maintains an extraordinary level of ignorance about the £350,000 "gift", paying off the huge mortgage a few weeks later etc..Her majesties opposition continue to piss in the wind, or I assume they do as I have no idea idea what they are up to. If they brought back Archer and Aitken at least they could claim some proven expertise in lying and deception with which to taunt the "opposition".

I think David Mills £350,000 gift smells
	like a fetid corpse in the sun
	like cat shit and rancid butter on toast
	like smegma paté
	like roses

Meanwhile...the red pepper I brough in Sainsburys today had a sticker on it sying "As Seen On TV". Was it a famous vegetable? I ate it.
