The usual run of newspaper stories present few instances of journalistic humour, but I thought that the Daily Mail story about Cabinet Minister Chris Huhne, his bisexual lover and his rejected wife hit the nail..
The story, mainly about the hugely exorbitant expenses claimed by M.P.s, ran:-
“In the week Chris Huhne left his wife for a younger woman, his expenses reveal he claimed money for servicing an old boiler.
The bill for £1,500 was for general household maintenance and was dated 7 April 2009.
That was a year after he started an affair with his 44-year-old bisexual press officer Carina Trimingham and just over a year before this week’s announcement that the Energy Secretary was leaving his 57-year-old wife Vicky Pryce.”
I don’t think a woman aged 47 qualifies for the term ‘old’!
