It's with great pride that H&G formally recognise the Clandon PGA and its elite group of 3 members.

Although less known than other more recognised PGAs, those in the know talk in hushed tones about its influence which spreads far beyond the dusty corridors of other more recognised establishments.

Resplendent with pipe and attractive Latin motto, dear reader, remember when you first saw this crest.

"The way I know Ashley Cole, he is a very honest, genuine guy." So said Thierry Henry in today's Guardian. Now, first, it must be said that H&G approve of Thierry Henry; so much so in fact, that H&G consider him a close personal friend. Even though we've never met. And so we are overjoyed at this ringing endorsement of our principles and teachings; indeed, readers, H&G would be most grateful if you felt amenable to spreading the Honest and Genuine word wherever ye may be.

Viral meme propanda over with, we move to our second, more unsavoury, point. And it is this: Ashley Cole is patently not an Honest and Genuine guy. We are, of course, far beyond muckraking over that incident. So much so that there is no link here (also, Mr Cole is historically litigious); however, we feel that perhaps a correct usage of the terms ought to be strictly enforced by ourselves and by you, our army of loyal readers. Let the campaign begin here and now.

Our ongoing delight with the 'winner/sinner' man (recently moved from Oxford Circus to Piccadilly due to the ASBO taken out on him for his daily evangelical missives) was replaced recently by something far funnier...and frankly...even more disturbing.

I present for your delectation.....'Budgieman'

H&G are looking for a ringtone partner to make him the next Crazy Frog....any takers ? WP

H&G have a thing for amusing, unexpected cover versions of songs: Gary Numan's "On Broadway" being a particular favourite. We're currently loving the Paris Derniere series especially. Also we like strange and wonderful CDs like those at Discovery Records.
