"We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."
David Bowie - We Are The Dead (1974)

Arnold says so, and he doesn't say much, so that's good enough for me. So that's Nigel Lawson and 19 others for my 2012 DDP list. Lawson hasn't looked very clever for some time now but I can't remember when I last saw his picture in the papers.

Well, he was on BBC2 today (15mins 30secs in) and he does look a little under the weather. I'm not entirely convinced he's a gonner, though.
What are brief? Today and tomorrow;
What are frail? Spring blossoms and youth;
What are deep? The ocean and truth.

He mustn't be feeling too clever either considering that a] the free-market City knows best economic culture is going down the shitter and b] the European monetary integration to which he urged Thatcher to be a part of, leading to his resignation in 1989 is also going down the toilet.
If I was him, I'd keep a very low profile...
60% top rate of tax? pfftt!

According to his Wikipedia entry he was born on 11 March 1932, so he's 79 now.

And Nigella tickles my nerves in many ways, for example: (for another example, see the second picture)
Quote
Gillian McKeith, the well-known TV celebrity, who advocates a holistic approach to nutrition, with minimal fat and plenty of fruit and veg is 51 years old. Nigella Lawson, a TV cook, who eats nothing but butter, meat, desserts and plenty of excess, is 50.

That ones been doing its rounds on facebook for a few months. The photo of Gillian wass taken when she was in the jungle for a few weeks. I guess if I had Nigella's millions, I could look pretty good too.
But blaming me is blaming God;
Could I create myself anew
I would not fail in pleasing you.

My apologies, I'm not on facebook and the joke was new to me until very recently.
Even taken into consideration that the McKeith-photograph is probably the least flattering they could find, it's still absolutely clear to me that time has been much kinder to Nigella Lawson than to the cardboard-eating old hag. Having all the money of the world can only take you so far.
