The last week has been a rather dull one; we finally had bookshelves erected in the sitting room, reorganised the house and started preparing ourselves for our trip to Australia next week. To sustain myself during this uncharacteristic period of domesticity, I have therefore been reading every paper online, from cover to cover (so to speak). And it is amazing how much you can learn from the newspapers.
This week, I've learned that men should always marry smart women and grow moustaches. Men do not care about looking good when they are in a relationship unless, of course, they are having an affair. Meanwhile, while all women want to eat cake, they should not delude themselves into thinking they can burn off those calories with a bit of exercise.
I've learned that the best way to irritate the clergy is to request they play Tina Turner at your funeral. On the topic of celebrities, some people will seemingly do anything for fame, even committing crimes to get on the news. However, we need not worry, because we have new supercops in the form of leeches. But if the current state of the world does depresses us, we should not expect to be able to take refuge in children's books. We can instead cheer ourselves up by peeking in on the world of fashion, a world that is very hard to take seriously.
