Indeed, but I have always felt so sorry for those who have suffered a
disaster and then have to smile for the cameras when a head of
government or head of state visits them.

"So, Mrs Wombiquangle, your entire family has been wiped out, your
home destroyed, and your budgie is still missing? But aren't you
pleased that Fatty Prescott has come to stare at you?"

Remember to carry a card with you at all times, saying that you don't
want Cherie Bliar to visit you in hospital if you are seriously ill.
