The perfect crime...

There was an article on the BBC website today about the British culture of not disclosing our salaries. I for one am quite happy to disclose exactly what I am paid* but apparently in Norway, everyone can view everyone else’s tax returns online. However, it does not make the Norwegian press if a famous person is arrested. The BBC invited peoples comments, and I have felt moved to share this one with you:

Let's all go to Norway, look at who is the richest (or most famous....?) and try to rob them, then if you get caught they won't broadcast to everyone else who it was! Now that's democracy!

Is it wrong to like this man’s way of thinking?

BTW, have you noticed that I have managed to mention the BBC without once referring to Ben Ando? Dammit.

*Peanuts.

The perfect girlfriend

No, not me. Duck.

The evidence:

1. Enjoys ironing.
2. Has an increasing number of items of pink clothing in his wardrobe, including what is known as "The Big Gay Shirt".
3. Uses moisturiser and even has his own bottle of fragrance free body lotion.
4. The only Madonna albums in the house are his.

Then last night:

5. "Ooh, white wine and chocolate go really well together don't they?"

If it wasn't for the sex I'd be worried. As it is, I'm wondering whether I might be able to persuade him to go with me to the new cheesy Antonio Banderas film after all...
