Do we go with the political? Having a 'babe of the day' at all? The technical? That photoshopping is appalling - her back would break and her shadow actually has a stomach. Back to the political?

If you're running short of toilet paper, why not try the 100% recycled Shit Be Gone! That is seriously its name. I do like it when you know where you are with a product, and exactly what it will do!

Gardens and a stream run through the property."
Bankers struggle against their reputation for unfeeling arrogance but error messages like the one that Roger Jones encountered on the Barclays Bank Web site don't help: "We suggest you try to log in later and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."

"What a wonder!
To think about your life
and have something meaningful to say
about those thoughts.
What a wonder!
To have a place to write down
what you've been thinking-
a place you can return to
to rediscover yourself.
Joy!"
