Oct. 11th, 2005 08:59 pmI accidentally watched the evening news on ITV tonight.
There was a very comprehensive series of reports about the earthquake, a couple of reports I can't remember and then....then a report about that woman who was pictured after the 7th July London bombings with a burn gauze on her face being helped.
The story was about how she was making an appearance at some vile awards ceremony for the noble of heart.
What made me retch was - and I quote exactly, because I wrote it down at the time - that she was described (on a news programme, mind) thus: "her fair face framed by an elfin haircut".
Mother of god preserve us. One can only assume she is related to Mary Archer.
Edit: And another thing... ITV are running a series of adverts for Polaris World villas. Que? What next - Trident Caravans? Armageddon Cottages? Cruise Cruises?
I shall move to Tunbridge Wells and become grumpy.
