    I almost had a car crash half an hour ago, I'd just picked Mrs Wife up from the Cabinet Office and some nutter in silver Jag almost drove us off the road going down the Mall. I don't know what he'd done, but I bet he's a crook, judging by all the police around him. There was even a couple of helicopters! Last I say, the chased him round the front of Buckingham Palace, then I lost sight...

      He's back out. They cornered him in Downing Street. Wait, he's just gone into some building; looks like it's a siege judging by the press outside. I expect the negotiator will be along shortly.

            Mrs Wife says that the helicopters have been airborn all day; it's been a real pain. In 'unrelated' news, Baroness Ashton was giving a speech earlier this evening at the LSE and she cut it short [that's a good thing, ed] so she could be away by 7:45...

                          Ah, you're talking about the traffic cone burial ground, where good traffic cones go when they die. It's quite a beautiful sight.

                                      Yellow Ferrari? Yellow? I think you need to give back your Italian credentials! Even dumb skippies (White Anglo Australians) know that all Ferrari's are red!
