Mark Steel wrote a commentary for the Independent (K. told me about this, so all my thanks go to her). It’s about Gordon Brown and his wish that every British citizen should swear an oath of allegiance to the queen. [How do you spell rubbish?]
Teenagers, he’s said, should have to “graduate” into true British citizens, to show they’ve encompassed Britishness. So maybe the boys will have lessons in subjects such as being sexually attracted to Helen Mirren. And teachers will say: “We’re very lucky today because Mrs Mirren has kindly agreed to sit at the front of the class for us so off you go. Come on Jenkins, start tingling boy, and Walcott, let’s have a bit of drooling shall we, this is a national treasure, surely the odd slobber isn’t too much to ask.”

You spell it exactly like that…r-u-b-b-i-s-h ;-)
yeah, I know… just trying to be funny… obviously failed. But why am I doing it anyway in the same post I quote Mark Steel in?
cuz he’s inspiring.
Allow me to repeat myself: I <3 Mark Steel.
very true…
I’d love to swear allegiance to the Queen if Helen Mirren sat in front of me. The way she said ‘cojones’ at the Oscars royally turned me on.
btw, i’ve been following your blog for a while on Google Reader.
Helen Mirren is great. I’d probably swear allegiance to her, not the queen. And she really was very sexy at the Oscars.
I feel honored that another reader declares himself … :) I’ll drop by at your place!
Hee hee. Yeah, imagine that. We are actually falling for a lady who is prolly as old as our grand mums…er… grand aunts at least.
Actually she’s as old as my father is. Still, that probably should worry me.
Oh well.
