maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted October 1, 2010 London resident General Musarraf is giving interviews about his intention to return to Pakistan and get involved in politics. He's survived four assassination attempts of varying levels of competence. If his political opponents don't mount another pop there's an outside chance that his wider views - like the one about rape victims being motivated by money - might generate a voilent opponent.

Guest P Hack Posted October 13, 2010 Tory MP David Ruffley apparently tries to kill himself because he didn't get a government job. He survived because he threw himself to the right and the train kept rolling firmly down the centre. Back to work. Such a sensitive issue hasn't stopped the Daily Telegraph indulging in a bit of punnery. Over the summer his colleagues have rallied round....helping David get back on track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 7,968 Posted October 25, 2010 Georges Frêche, former mayor of Montpelier has died aged 72. I mention this merely because some of his statements make Prince Philip the epitome of diplomacy. On the Algerians who fought with the French: They massacred your people and you kissed their feet, You are sub-human, you have no honour. On the election of Pope Benedict XIV: I hope he'll be better than that other moron. On former PM Laurent Fabius: I wouldn't vote for him, He does not have a Catholic face (Fabius is Jewish) He also commissioned an eclectic set of statues honouring heroes of the 20th century, including Churchill, DeGaulle and Lenin.
