Yes man : Part 2

The open letter caused a bit of a storm it seems but the good man was good enough to tell me he thought my criticism a little harsh. It proved to be a rather surreal exchange and my first ever celebrity argument !

Here at H&G our generosity knows no bounds so we've decided for a limited time to give away 100 free cases of Becks. Yes, that's right.

FREE BEER.

Sometimes, dear readers, this august organ addresses the more pressing matters in life. At others a more laconical eyebrow is raised at the curios that surround us. This entry is just one of those.


It was with great delight that we recently saw a feature about the deception of squirrels. Apparently 1 in 5 of all 'nut burials' are actually faked. Indeed, when rumbled at their wicked wheeze they are actually then prone to increase their fakery. Holes are dug. Leaves carefully spread over the top. Yet not a nut is to be found. All in an attempt to hide the real stash.


So why were we so tickled you may ask ?

Because we've found someone comparable to our much loved John Malkovich. Finally the mantle of the 'guilty of plenty of acting' award can be passed to a more deserving hero.

H&G are currently taking some time out for much deserved rest and recuperation in far flung Peru (MACCHU PICCHU!) for this extra special foreign posting we felt it necessary to raise awareness of this countries fine parade based economy.

At every turn there's a broccaded group of army reservists tooting trumpets and waving flags. The national dress also appears to have a disturbing rape fantasy look to it. And at last viewing out of our bar window there was a group of people tied to the roof of a Ford transit van sitting in a large inflatable boat.

We've also discovered that llamas are not just the finest animals on the planet but Welsh spitting beasts. Think about it.

So Viva Chavez and time to get back to the poker table. Current score England 3, local US workers 0

Alas, alack, the merrymaking of fair Mays bank holiday is 'oer and sadness and melancholy fills the air.

But what is this perchance ? A tale of chivalry, an epic battle, an ode ?

Reader enjoy - The Onions finest hour

While the chattering classes have been in near hysteria about the details of infamous NAPA incident (Needed to Avoid Pee Accident), where an enraged Liza Nowak drove 800 miles wearing an adult nappy rather than loose a few precious seconds to confront a love rival, we at H&G take a rather more benevolent view.

After all, any lady who elects to don a rakish wig and moustache for outer wear should be applauded rather than castigated - whatever the trouser exhalations beneath such attire.

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
Take charity collections for hospitals.
Once Londoners would smile and genuflect money into bright yellow buckets during Rag Week - that time when gurning cross dressing male nurses would sell 'hilarious' joke magazines to unsuspecting commuters.
For once however Great Ormond Street has proved the future can be better than the past.
Gone are the men in drag and instead a giant burlesque swing has been erected at Liverpool Street, where a blonde corseted lady in fishnets sits on a velvet cushion. Money is raised by the donation of a shiny gold pound whereupon said chap may push the lady for a moment or two.
Not quite the Foppatorium, but certainly a good stride towards chappist Utopia.
