More Daily Mail stuff
Yes I went to the gym today.And wasn't it worth it! Some classic moments from today's madness
* First it exposes the UKIP with the classic headline "Cheer-led by celebrities, supported by countless decent - if frustrated - Britons, few realise that UKIP has worrying racist links and a sleazy Mr Bean look-alive MEP". In the expose -- presumably planted by Conservative Central Office -- we learn that according to estranged founder Alan Sked, MEP Nigel Farage once said "We will never win the nigger vote. The nig-nogs will never vote for us". Also "prospective voters may be interested to hear that he quaffed £100-a-bottle champagne in seedy lap-dancing clubs". It also alleges that he is a drunkard, whose drinking has led him to miss parliamentary votes.
* Second there is the strangest new book by former Tory cabinet minister John Nott, "Growing Old Disgracefully". The title is accurate. Nott is off on a cruise and says 'what really is worrying me is my sex drive....can I control my testosterone for a week'. Sadly all his fellow cruisers are rather unattractive, except for his wife, but despite her glamour she can't provide the excitement of a 'chase after a bit of extra-marital flesh'. His cabin, with two singles, is disappointingly small, but a double would cost £1000 extra, which would 'require the presence of the most expensive tart in history' to make it 'financially worthwhile'. And on and on.
* Third, the most priceless quote in the Financial Mail. It goes, "Even the largest financial firms can make mistakes". No! Say it ain't so!
