I heard the Flint / Widdicombe interview on the today programme. Widdicombe came across as well informwd spontaneous and intelligent. Flint on the other hand came across as a wooden, thick dullard. She is a deeply unattractive woman.

I am having to revise my opinion of la Flint after listening to her on my local BBC radio this morning. she felt obliged to explain in simple terms what Body Mass Index meant and said "You know" in between almost every word. I still wouldn't say no to an ear and tummy rub though.

Someone else mentioned the incresing number of anti-Labour stories in Rupert`s rags recently.Topically today they urged readers to exercise and get rid of those "man boobs".The boobs they chose to show to demonstrate said appendages belonged to one T.Blair along with quite a nasty dig about "middle-aged bodies being allowed to slip".I`m not sure if the following comments on oestragen levels in food being responsible for men developing more female traits was a sign of a forthcoming revelation of some kind or just a coincidence.I rarely read the Sun but as another poster remarked there are definate signs of the rats not only deserting the sinking ship but holing the lifeboats on the wasy out.

"Hangthedj 2:27pm "A friend of mine blurted it out while looking at Flint's pic in an art gallery exhibition and ended up making an exhibition of herself...as Caroline Flint herself was stood behind her."

was STOOD behind her ?!!!??

For the fukkin goddamm love of God, will someone please help me to drive a stake through the heart of anyone who can't figure out the correct way of using the fukking English language. Is it truly that difficult to see that it should be "Caroline Flint was standing behind her" or "Caroline Flint stood behind her" but not "WAS STOOD".... ?"

Maybe she was put there by someone else, in which case she was stood there.

Well, I would like to know who else should wear the moustache.11:37 PM

Fruning old chap,it appears from a previous comment here that Ms Flint is living proof that the family moustache need not be cultivated exclusively by male family members.
I`d like to direct readers to your own blog where they`ll find the lovely but immodest Mrs Graplecard,a real woman with curves where there should be curves and a definate lack of facial hair.

For those of you who do not understand the inner workings of search engines, you can search for a phrase by enclosing the search term in double quotes, viz "Caroline Flint". This should retrieve only documents containing this phrase.

Your local professionally qualified librarian should be able to explain (that's if Public Libraries still employ them).

My allusion to Ms Flint and beds was clearly far too subtle if you feel the need to explain the google search algorithm.

I will try to be blunter in future.

When I typed the same words into Google Images there were 14 pictures of Caroline, sans velcro triangle unfortunately, and search result number 16 is the Caroline Daybed in Flint. There's a link to her website in there somewhere...and not a single velcro triangle picture on that either...disappointing...searching in Google Images for "Amazon Jungle Hair-pie" also fails to deliver any pictures of Caroline ...

2006-08-24T07:56:00.000+01:00

To all of you linguists out there....I'm glad you agree with me that people who use "I'm sat" or "I'm Stood" in the wrong context should be taken outside and pummeled senseless... and thank you to those who have pointed out the scenarios in which 'I'm sat' and 'was stood' may be used (although I never said they can't EVER be used) and I profusely apologise for my use of the City-spelling of certain swear words. The company which employs me has "PC-language filters" which prevent messages with the words Fuck, Cunt, Rectum-Breath, etc etc from going out, and so, we've all learned how to circumvent this feature by deliberately mis-spelling the words...hence my spelling of fukk and godamm earlier on, which the spelling brigade here have pounced on (PermanentExpat and co). Sorry...Just a force of habit. Unless Guido has an objection, I will forthwith cease from ever writing fukk on this blog when I really mean fuck.

That picture is indeed the one. Good spot.
The political journalist in question hasn't got a famous family and the fact that she is "shag-able"* has nothing to do with her journalistic progress.

Admittedly my grammar was poor on the post, but as a tabloid hack I am of course always more interested in writing something interesting/titillating and skimping on facts and serious stuff like spelling/grammar.

Good God! We have subs for that.

After listening to C. Flint and Ann Wideastheycome on R4 this morning, weighing up the arguments and coming to a considered conclusion, I have decided that D. Cameron is broadly correct, we need some decent fit birds in da House.

I am pleased to report that the Tories are getting their act together with some serious stilletos on the A list and I look forward to having a nice letch at Bournemouth.

With regard to the main topic, picking on fat bastards in our celebrity obsessed society is clearly discriminatory and not in keeping with the hypocrisy of our time of being inclusive. So munch away I say, whether it is on a packet of crisps or a tart.
