It's not
just the Talibenemy who are pleased that the battlefields of
Afghanistan have lost Prince
Harry. His girlfriend looks delighted in the many hundreds of photographs
taken of the couple, reunited - and lovely to see business back to usual -
leaving a party in the early hours last week.
John
Lewis
The
retail chain, that is, which is run as a partnership owned by every one of
its staff. It made huge profits last year, meaning those same staff will
split £181m between them. Doubles - or, rather, discount white
goods - all round.
Martin
Luther
The
heretic Protestant is set to be rehabilitated by the Pope. The Pontiff
will argue that Luther, who died in 1546, never intended to split the
Catholic church. Evidently, there was just a little bit of doctrinal
misunderstanding going on.
Ken
Livingstone
The
mayor of London's fighting
fund was boosted by £230,000, courtesy of an art auction. Marc Quinn,
Banksy and Antony Gormley were among the artists donating work. It's to
keep out Boris the Barbarian, Ken suggests. 'Art for art's sake,' as those
philosophers 10cc
once sang, 'money for God's sake.'

A bad week for

Nicolas
Sarkozy
The diminutive,
shy, pouting,
and newly married French President was temporarily faced with the painful
sight of his ex in the limelight.
Versace revealed that she'd be wearing one of its gowns on her wedding
day. They don't hang
around, these Frenchies, do they?
Chris
Hollins
The BBC
Breakfast sports presenter was live on TV discussing the facilities
for athletes in the Beijing. 'A shower might cause a few
problems for Paula Radcliffe who as we know prefers an arse
bath or two.' He meant, of course, 'ice bath', he assured us, which
seems to
amount to the same thing.
The
Bishop of St Davids
The
Right Reverend Carl Cooper has split from his wife. Rumour has it that it
may be connected to his friendship with a female priest under his care and
a church enquiry is
under way. We prefer to think there was just a bit of spiritual guidance
going on.
Bookmaker
William Hill closed its books on the question of which category the
overall winning dog will come from. There is suspicious heavy betting, it
seems, on the 'utility
dog'. Is nothing
sacred?
to be in the limelight — быть в центре внимания;
быть на виду
I don't
see how Jim can ever amount to much. — Я не понимаю, как
Джим сможет достичь чего-либо значительного.
Nothing is sacred to them. — Для
них нет ничего святого.
