Poor little chap is suffering from a "flu like virus" after his holiday.

Self diagnosed no doubt.  ::)

Talking of non-news… did anybody see Macca on the TV this morning pushing some pointless advert to raise £2M for disabled athletes?  shrugs:

FFS, he could drag £2M out of his loose change jar on the side of his bed. Wanker!  noooo:

No more free hobnobs for Macca Nick – charge him 20p next time.  ;)

You can say the same for any celebrity who tries to raise money though. Seeing someone like Phil Collins in an afican village in the middle of nowhere telling us that "£2000 will allow this village to build a well giving them clean drinking water" gets to me when we all know that they probably paid more flying club class over there or going by private jet.
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.
