"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.

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 !

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).

Surely appearing in Hello is usually code for, "We are getting divorced in three days' time"?

Surely that should be a glass coffee table in the middle of the Oaten living room ?

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,

And Guido, couldn't tell with the blurry jpeg. Was Belinda offering a bit of cleavage? Liberal answer to the UKIP bouncing babe?

I can hear the photographer:

'Now then Belinda, let's have one of you on the pouffe, or is it a stool ?'

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.

Quite agree. It needs to move in private, and not in the face of the public.

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.
