Did anyone catch the story over Christmas about the Miami flight that overshot the runway on landing?

It was a BA 747, with none other than TB on board, on his way to spend a freebie holiday at BeeGee Robin Gibb's Miami Beach mansion.

Seems the pilot couldn't see the taxiway lights very clearly and rolled over them. Nobody hurt though, and it was rumoured he was found humming that old BeeGee's number 'The lights all went down in Miami, Florida...'

Sounds like Tony is getting used to being on vacation. That is a skill which will come in handy.

CF, sounds as if your government is as screwed up as ours.

Sadly only when it's free... not sure how much of a regular event it will be when he has to pay. I guess we can expect to see him offering his services as a guest speaker in places like the Maldives, Seychelles, Phuket and so on once he's out of the day job.

Hopefully that will be very soon

It seems that my favourite plonker Tony McNulty knew all about the issues behind the 500 criminals list of names that haven't been recorded (see entry 138 above). He failed to pass on what he knew to the Home Secretary though. Silly boy. Can't say I'm surprised, the guy is so busy waffling that I suspect he has no idea about anything he is supposed to do or be responsible for. Let alone remember what it is he should be doing. So ask him to take care of something and you might as well work out at the same time the various excuses you'll need when it becomes known it hasn't been done.

I'm a tiny bit afraid to ask, but I truly don't know:

Does anyone in Britain take George Galloway seriously?

OK, and how about NOW?

It's complicated...
