A good week for...

Miss USA
When a tearful Tara Connor went on TV alongside Miss USA 'contest owner' Donald Trump to apologise after she admitted to underage boozing, the words 'You're fired' were on everybody's lips. However, in a moment of seasonal goodwill, Trump did not feel it necessary to show Connor the door and, instead, gave her a second chance at world peace.

Jose Mourinho
The great man discovered how good it makes you feel to say sorry. He apologised to Everton forward Andrew Johnson, whom he'd accused of diving. We think, we hope, he's contrite - and not just had his arm twisted by Chelsea execs - because we worry for his soul.

Democracy
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, no fan, as you know, of the US, Britain, Israel etc, had a set-back when his rivals romped home in local elections. Perhaps he and Bush should form a mutual support group.

Robert Mugabe
Not surprisingly - he's run the show in Zimbabwe since 1980 - Mugabe won the backing of the ruling party to postpone the next presidential election from 2008 to 2010. Good for Zimbabwe, too? Hardly.

Gibraltar
The colonial outpost received a Spanish scheduled flight for the first time. The Iberia Airlines' plane might usher in more mature relations between the Gibraltarians and their neighbours. Who knows where it will all end? They might even begin talking to each other.

A bad week for...

France
Johnny Hallyday, nonpareil rocker, has threatened to leave his homeland for Switzerland to escape French taxes. How will the French cope? As a cultural blow, it would be comparable to losing Voltaire.

Gavin Henson
The rugby union star was locked out of the house he shares with girlfriend Charlotte Church when he returned at 11.30am after training. Church, it seems, was still in bed and was not best pleased at being disturbed. Quite right - who wants to be ripped from sleep at the crack of dawn?

David Beckham
Yes, it's been a bad year and it's not getting any better. He was finally picked to start a game for Real Madrid and he and his colleagues were on the receiving end of a 3-0 defeat to Recreativo Huelva (who?). What's worse, while his illustrious colleagues were given an early Christmas holiday, he was asked to play in a meaningless benefit match. It seems only yesterday we were celebrating every last metrosexual bit of him and his sarong.

Turkmenistan
The good people of the central Asian republic said farewell to their autocratic leader, Saparmurat Niyazov. His many vivid acts included abolishing libraries, closing universities and naming every little artefact after his good self.
