If you go down to the museum today…

You can tell how often I tidy my office at home by the fact that my latest near-archaeological dig through my paperwork unearthed a newspaper clipping from 31 January:

“Secret papers released under the Freedom of Information Act revealed how two schoolboys once damaged one of the disputed Parthenon marbles figures when they began fighting in the British Museum in 1961. Apparently one of the boys fell and knocked off part of a centaur’s leg.”

It doesn’t take a huge feat of imagination to picture the consequences, does it?

One other cutting that I’d stashed away is more romantic than kinky. The musician Alex James (of Blur fame) was asked to describe the most romantic place he’d ever been. The answer:

“The Sahara. I rode into the dunes with a girl I’d known for six weeks and when we rode back out two days later, we were engaged… We stayed in a Bedouin camp under the stars. I bought the rug we slept on. It stinks of camel. We’re still married.”

Awwwwwww….
