A good week for ...

Rich parents
The school run reaches its apotheosis   with news that a prep school in Hampshire has wants to turn part of its playing field into a helicopter pad for the benefit of oligarchs who have to rush off to buy a Premiership team, asset-strip a utility, avoid being poisoned, etc.

Latin
Harry Mount's Amo, Amas, Amat, the Christmas surprise bestseller, has a mission to spread the ancient language to the modern world. 'Yah know wha' I mean, allow it,' could soon be usurped    by Hogwarts' 'Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus'. Titter ye  not.

Slouchers
A bunch of slovenly scientists have discovered that the sinking-slowly-in-the-west posture favoured by stoned students and World Of Warcraft geeks does wonders for your lumbar region. That crashing noise is Miss Jean Brodie hitting the floor.

Rembrandt
Four 'school of's at the Ashmolean in Oxford were reattributed to the man himself. We must check that Dutch Golden Age-style Crying Pierrot over the mantelpiece.

Abba
A museum 'dedicated to the band's memory' is set to open in Stockholm in 2008. Visitors may or may not be invited to hear the drums of 'Fernando', feel the beat of the 'Dancing Queen', and line up to 'Bang-a-Boomerang'.

Bees
They are apparently going to be trained to sniff out bombs and explosive devices (why not give wasps the job, they're up for anything?). But how will the bees indicate that they've come across one? Buzz around and sting us on the thigh?

A bad week for ...

The Blair Children
They've been airbrushed out of history in Stalinesque fashion on T&C's 10 Downing St Christmas card, to be replaced by a bunch of fusty old buffers. The gallery of ancient PMs behind the Blairs don't look so hot either.

Mohamed al-Fayed
He almost certainly won't get an advance copy of Lord Stevens's investigation into the death of Princess Di. As he's likely to claim it was all the work of Prince Philip in league with MI6, it probably won't make much difference.

Silvio Berlusconi
He fainted on a podium and was whisked to hospital, conveniently delaying the opening of yet another fraud trial, the latest variant in Ernest Saunders's 'I'm-At-Death's-Door-Ooh-No-Hang-On-I-Feel-Much-Better-Now' defence'.

Teachers
Two-thirds apparently don't know what to do with an apostrophe, and 8 per cent don't understand the difference between 'me' and 'I'. Me ask you, what are becoming of the standard's of everything's in this age and day?

Smokers
The nicotine ban in public places will be enforced on 1 July next year. Expect the first wave of 'Marlboro Martyrs' to be dragged into Black Marias come 2 July. Our money's on David Hockney and Pete Doherty to lead the, er, pack.

Channel 4
The renegade network unveiled its latest reality talking-point; a show in which a 40-year-old virgin and former vicar tries to get his groove on in the fleshpots of Amsterdam. Alan Partridge's Monkey Tennis pitch looks ever more prescient.
