Value for Taxpayer's Money

The lesser-spotted Eton Albatross, George Osborne:
"In 2005, the Conservative shadow chancellor claimed £47 for two copies of a DVD of his own speech on 'Value for Taxpayers Money'."

Concrete Jungle
Depressing news from the Euro elections. The far right and nazi nutters saw a drop in votes but a reduced turnout meant they got a bigger share of the vote and MEP's elected. We need the Specials at a time like this. And lo, they will come to Edinburgh in November.

Je lis La Princesse de Clèves
After French President Sarkozy criticised the French classic La Princesse de Clèves, which is a standard of school and civil service exams, the book has become a surprise hit.
Sales have soared and protesting workers are wearing badges like the one pictured 'I am reading La Princesse de Clèves'.
I look forward to 'I am reading the Mayor of Casterbridge' badges on May Day.

Is this the most loathsome advert for a book signing you have ever seen?
"Meet Gerri Halliwell
Please note that Geri Halliwell will only be signing copies of her Ugenia Lavender series. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment. The duration of the signing is discretional."
I wonder if armies of fans clutching copies of the Spice World DVD left disappointed?
