Apologies to regular readers - 3 comments

The waxing of political leaders' body hair is not perhaps an issue worthy of the concern of serious-minded bloggers, but if you must know the grisly truth that lies beneath the shirts of Tony Blair and David Cameron, blogger Nicola has the answer - and it isn't pretty, in at least one case.

Possible reasons for Cameron's "last turkey in the shop" image are explored in this characteristically insightful Daily Mail article.



Now for something far more wholesome. Via Lisa (though, of course, I knew already), Wednesday marks (or marked) the 38th birthday of the divine Gillian Anderson, she who put the "Lady" in "Lady Dedlock" in the BBC's excellent Bleak House, and who is only an Economics degree and a trouser suit away from thoroughly usurping Newsnight's Stephanie Flanders.

From the Wikipedia:

[...] With her English accent and background, she felt out of place in the American Midwest, and developed a reputation as a strong-willed and rebellious teenager. Anderson, mocked because of her British accent, soon developed a Midwest dialect. In addition, she had her nose pierced in the early 1980s, and dyed her hair various colors.

Was probably into the Psychedelic Furs or something...

You cannot be serious!! I met Stephanie Flanders once years ago - and she seemed a right snotty cow, and a big ole unit too. To compare the gorgeous GA to her is an act of blasphemy.
