Fun Online Polls: Fergie, Prince Andrew & Ralph Miliband

The responses to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:

Fergie and Prince Andrew might get married again...

Not bothered either way - 56%
Ah bless, good luck to them - 21%
Clearly nobody else would have them - 16%
Which Fergie? Sir Alex Ferguson? - 4%
They are making a laughing stock of the Royal Family - 3%
Other, please specify - 0%

Fair do's. I was in the "Ah bless" camp myself.

The Daily Mailiband saga continues. As a brighter mind than mine once said, it's the only newspaper which trolls its own readership.

Today they published this photo:
So, notwothstanding there is no such place as "Britain", that's the topic of this week's Fun Online Poll: are we capable of distinguishing between the people of a country as a whole and in the round, and a narrow self-appointed élite?

Of course, we swiftly go round the clock and realise that most professors at the LSE, whose kids went to Oxford when it was still "free" and end up as Foreign Secretary or Leader Of The Opposition without ever having had a proper job are part of the self-same, general-populace-loathing, self-appointed élite, but hey...

Louise Mensch: Satirical genius

From The Daily Mail, who in turn pinched it from an article on her blog.

It's the Pippa Middleton "I-know-you're-laughing-at-me-so-I'll-ham-it-up-even-more" technique:

Mrs Mensch, who quit politics to move to America, says she has been diagnosed with a form of attention deficit disorder (ADD), which meant she was 'self-medicating' for stress with a large glass of wine after work every night.

She has now encouraged others to give up drinking because it will improve mood, sleep patterns, and refresh the skin. The 41-year-old says she was diagnosed with ADD (type 2 inattentive), which has an impact on concentration.

On her Unfashionista blog, under the title 'Why-ne O'Clock', she wrote that moving to America "had a number of beneficial side effects, but the most profound has been that I have almost completely given up alcohol.

"Like many British women I relished that moment every night, after work, when I could get a large glass of white somewhere, and relax. I now realise it was also putting the breaks on the spinning atoms in my head, caused by untreated ADD. I was self-medicating for stress.

"And Britain is a culture in love with alcohol. In fact not to drink makes you weird and a killjoy. But alcohol was ruining my quality of life, although I didn't understand this fully until I stopped wanting to drink it. The elephant in the room is that British culture is completely off-base about booze. It's NOT ok to drink wine every night. It's not ok even to have a large glass of wine when you do'.

Is it just me or does Pippa Middleton have very short legs?

Either that or her torso is abnormally long. Picture taken from here.
