Paul said:That William Hague thing is funny, if you like non-stories. Somehow I can't picture him being a bummer, but I might be wrong. Does seem like an epic PR fail, It's good that these Tory blogs are intent on sabotaging their own party with malicious rumours though.
On the other hand, it could very easily be a necessary double-bluff, given that this story has now been picked up by The Guardian (although, and I can't think why, it's being ignored by just about everyone else), and it raises issues of systematic criminality in the British print media, high-level corruption in the Met and poor judgement on the part of Cameron, who knowingly employed someone tainted by this affair as his senior communications adviser; someone who'd have been spinning the Gordon Brown bullying stories as "an outrage", even though he'd been found to have done the exact same thing to a member of his staff in his previous job.
Easy to conclude from this that Coulson is more valuable to Cameron than Hague, although it's worth considering that the real issue with the Hague story isn't (or shouldn't be) whether or not he's gay, but whether or not the Foreign Secretary is sufficiently lacking in judgement to have employed his fuck-buddy on the public tab (and whether it coincides with the expenses scandal). Or possibly even have been sufficiently lacking in judgement to have shagged a member of his staff. And that's before we mention the unlikeliness of a 24-y-o with a less-than-distinguished degree being blessed with sufficient political smarts to have finagled one of the most senior advisory gigs in the F.O.
Incidentally, rumours about Hague have been circulating for a good ten years now. The person he's most usually linked with in them is Sebastian Coe, who yesterday announced that his 13-year marriage was now over. Odd coincidence, that. A supplementary rumour relates to the security detail assigned to Hague and his wife when Hague was leader of the opposition, and how an alleged pre-requisite for landing the gig was a willingness to attend to certain specific needs of Mrs. Hague's - needs that may not necessarily have been attended to by her husband...

Incidentally, I wonder if there's ever been another artist who so clearly and openly holds his audience in utter contempt to the extent that Axl Rose does?
It's funny that much maligned 2001 version of Guns and Roses seem like a vintage line-up in comparison. I think I preferred that guy with the KFC bucket on his head to Slash anyway, of course with your boy Axel in charge, such good things were never going to last.
i really couldn't give a fuck about any of this. "man cheats on wife" is not news. not condoning it, i just don't care.
the euro qualifiers can fuck off, too.
bring back the premier league, please.

First up, let me apologize for sullying this thread once more with talk of xfactor nonsense.
I read in the paper that this is one of the favourites so far. Wondered what the strut thought of her.
Hopefully she'll cover Lil B in her next appearance. "Thankyou Simon, [cue music] You know I always wanted to be the best. You know I always wanted to be god. This is real talk"
She makes me feel awkward and old but I think she'd make a good ringtone, so I imagine she going to huge in the hit parade. (duet withDizzy DappyChipmunk in teh finals is a must)

Definitely ringtone music, but immeasurably better than the usual soaring, earnest balladry shite that always seems to come out of these things.
i was tempted to post that carnival video the other day, but concluded it was in too poor taste...
