Spade_Cooley 9,019 Posted May 6, 2013 For the uninitiated, Andreotti was nicknamed "Lavazza" due to the mysterious habit of people who stood against the Italian state to die after drinking poisoned coffee. Other light-hearted nicknames included "Beelzebub", "The Prince of Darkness" and "The Hunchback". Mourn ya 'til I join ya, Giulio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,012 Posted June 2, 2013 Not expecting immediate suicides or owt, but... 20 minutes trawling a few of the most dependable scuzzy blogs has made me no clearer on these senior figures who's shagging has driven DC demented this weekend. Best information seems to be; deffo one male/one female (so not two male tories who have just voted against gay marriage), no cabinet member involved and a few bloggers think it funny to post pictures of Bojo (habitual shagger and not in the cabinet but why would his latest extra-marital wick-dip be so destablizing to the government?). Anyone want to get cyptic and give us a better clue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
