With those two it would have to be a lot of beer,
and four bags: two for her, and two for him.

[Mr. Silverback]

She has her own website and does look draggy

SHUDDER!!

Having seen this photo I will have to ask my wife to rock me to sleep tonight--with a real rock.

[Mr. Silverback]

As if we needed any more proof that adultery is not about looks or (fill in name of excuse here). I mean, I don't remember what Mrs. Major looks like, but she would have to be uglier than homemade sin for Currie to have even a marginal advantage.

Oh, and Ivan...whoever told you we were out of ipecac here at Casa Silverback was mistaken. Now we've got a surplus for sure. Where'd I put that bleedin' bucket...

Actually Norma Major looks rather sweet - not conventionally beautiful, but she has a sweetness about her that is appealing:

Just a further indication that John Major wasn't all that brilliant.

[MadIvan]

She is a novelist? What did she write?

Jackie Collins type stuff apparently. Except some of it took place at the House of Commons.

Not pleasant, I assure you.

Regards, Ivan

[Miss Marple]

Another round of these stories? Ha!

Why is it we find this stuff out about the most unlikely people? Newt Gingrich was another one who dumfounded me!

By the way, there was an interesting article in my local paper that a graduate from the local high school is interning in Parliament and living in a student residence in Chelsea. He had very interesting comments on Blair's speech and an astute analysis of the politics of Britain. He is enjoying his stay very much. Except for the food. Sorry, Ivan!

Let this be a lesson.
Ugly people should NOT have sex.

...Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go lose my lunch ;-)

[MadIvan]

Ugly people should NOT have sex.

Or at least, they should be discreet about it. Edwina Currie is many things, but discreet is not among them, mo mhúirnín bán.

Best Regards, Ivan

It's the idea of John Major whispering sweet nothings into her ear in his 'Irving Disturbing' voice that makes me cringe! *L*

I'd rather not imagine him saying, in a tender moment, "Oh Edwina..."

Right, I've managed to put myself off dinner for a while...

Well, I've already eaten...where does that leave me....?? ~running for the bathroom~ :-)

My knowledge on the spelling is 3rd hand at best. And considering what I heard about him, distance is preferable. ;)

I would think (given other words on your side of the pond) Nabours whould suffice.

Bloody hell, who needs Ultra Slim Fast...just think "Oh Edwina..." ;)

Edwina Currie...encouraging bulimia for half a century ;-)

To say nothing of salmonella. ;)

And people think English men are very reserved and understated and that they make bad lovers! See, Still Waters Run Deep. John Majors has a whole new immage now! It is she that I wonder about? Don't suppose she collected celebrities do you?
