Oaten Has Been Dumped on Enough
Thumbing through my copy of Hello magazine my attention is drawn to Belinda Oaten's interview. My first thought is why? Then, how much?Guido thinks it was inadvisable, the Oatens need to put all that behind them and move forward in private not on the pages of Hello.
Guido will not be making any tasteless jokes at Mark Oaten's expense.

Hello is hardly a journal of record, or indeed normally read by opinion formers, so apart from the guaranteed easy ride and the blue folding stuff, why choose it? I imagine most Hello readers have never even heard of Mark Oaten.
Quite agree. It needs to move in private, and not in the face of the public.
Mrs Oaten looks like a very hurt and angry woman to me. Me thinks she wasn't much interested in Hello magazine, but in the impact it might have in the constituency the week before the local elections...... Hampshire Chronicle is a weekly paper, last edition before locals due tomorrow. I feel sorry for her and if she wants her pound of flesh in Hello, well that's her choice.
I can hear the photographer:
'Now then Belinda, let's have one of you on the pouffe, or is it a stool ?'
SERO
And Guido, couldn't tell with the blurry jpeg. Was Belinda offering a bit of cleavage? Liberal answer to the UKIP bouncing babe?
Surely the answer to the question "why?' is that bottle-blonde bouncy castles are a dime-a-dozen in suburban Winchester so Bellinda would be marginally better off sticking (ugly metaphor) to Mark,
Surely that should be a glass coffee table in the middle of the Oaten living room ?
Surely appearing in Hello is usually code for, "We are getting divorced in three days' time"?
...and stop calling me Shirley...
It appears Guido can confidently play the gentleman safe in the knowledge that his faithful readers will put into ones and zeros that which he is to polite to say (but is probably thinking).

PS - Thanks, Anon, "Bottle blonde bouncy castles" is going into my lexicon of humpurous,if slightly sexist, quotes
No, he lets those in his comments column make the bad jokes for him.
A bit like Vera Lynn really. It was said she never said a bad word about antbody; she got others to do it for her.
Ouch !
"his faithful readers will put into ones and zeros"
ie use a galvanic calculating engine to convert words into a stream of ones and zeros, otherwise known as digital binary code, thus enabling them to be published on the interweb.
In other words, that's what I said. I guess I'll have to stop using geek humour.
