Taken from the 'Beehive Hotel Literary Review'.

This is the book we have all been waiting for. One of Britain's business names tells us who his greatest influences were.

Field Marshall Douglas Hague is the subject of the Chapter One. "I admire his style of leadership. His man management techniques were second to none. In fact, if the entire British Army had not been such abject cowards the war would have been over by Christmas. Our competitiors invested in new machinery (notably the machine gun, which British arms manufacturers sold them the plans for) but the British Tommy had the strange habit of ducking whenever they heard the firing. Yes, today we remember Lord Haig for his Scotch Whisky empire, but he was a man who changed the face of the British Army, not to mention changing quite a few of their limbs and mental state. Anyone who disagrees should be Shot At Dawn and would be, except we've changed the start times."

Chapter Two: "Strangely, I've chosen Margaret Thatcher who despite the voice was not a man at all, but a woman! Just to save any embarrassment, they have allowed her to be known as Dame Margaret. A wonderful woman who blocked attempts by Commonwealth leaders to boycott apartheid goods. For that alone, she should be cannonised, but her stopping of funding into Cot Death Syndrome was a timely reminder that the ideas of King Herod are worth reviving. It was the sort of hard choice I'm always making, but many of these kids are from working class homes and will only grow up using the wrong knife and fork at dinner and being unable to appreciate a decent claret. Blaming those businessmen in the Matrix Churchill scandal was also quite brilliant"

Chaper Three: "Sir Oswald Moseley is a man I'll always admire. Of course his mode of dress was a bit sombre compared to my bright, outward going wardrobe, but Sir Oswald was really a man for today. He advocated a healthy lifestyle and as Chairman of ASDA, I tried to introduce a cerial named 'Sir Oswald's Meusli', but for some reason, the general public refused to buy it. Morons! If I had my way, I'd have them all rounded up and strung up with piano wire."

Chapter Four: " He might be a bit of a liberal softie, but one of my influences was the late, great Pol Pot. Those black pyjamas might look a bit menacing and Khmer Pink sounds better than Khmer Rouge, but he certainly knew how to revive a country. His contribution to the cultural life in Phnom Penh was astounding. His idea of turning the clock back to Year Zero was masterly. I wish I could do that! I could turn up at the coliseum and bet a few million quid on Russell Crowe beating that bloke who played Johnny Cash seeing as I already know the result! Never mind! One day perhaps."

Chaper Five: "It has to be Judge Jeffries. As fair a man who ever dressed in stockings, a wig and a dress. One of the finest legal minds in British History, he showed those traitors who followed the Duke of Monmouth what for. Personally, I'd like to do the same to Dave Ward, but I'm a bit scared of having to have to be locked up in the Tower of London for my own safety and dying there. My public need me."

Pleae buy my book! I'm on a promise from my old mate Conrad Black.

Did you notice the selection of books that Amazon show as ordered at the same time - methinks there is a growth industry for literary bullshit.

OMG Mr Leighton, sir...

If you think I, or any ONE of your hard-working, undervalued, demotivated, discontented and fed up workforce are eager to buy YOUR book then THINK AGAIN.

Between the book covers can be NOTHING but 'BULLSHIT' - quoting you, Sir. Sorry, I had a little respect for you a few years ago but that LITTLE respect has VANISHED.

Someone who has more authority and power than you needs to have a 'quiet word' in your ear.

Stand up Mr Gordon Brown :dance



GOOD LUCK TO US ALL AND HAVE FAITH
It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

how come there's a few used like new ones on sale? , can't think why!
Brilliant one in Private Eye " good to see as £37 million budget cuts & redundancies biting, everyone is toeing the Murdoch line on trade unions!
" Our Mgr makes everyone's life hell ", a bullied worker sobbed to the paper's agony auntie " Dear" F****** Deidre Sanders recently, " He bullies & manipulates people , he's staff in tears. WE ARE NOT PART OF A UNION SO WE FEEL WE'VE NOWHERE TO GO .
Dear ******* Deidre more used to three -in -a -bed romps, stupid photo stories , adultresses and floppy hubbies responded with " YOU DO NOT NEED A UNION THESE DAYS TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELVES -The National bullying helpline can help.
A spoof agony page for L&C , DUMS , SMs, MCMs would be pithy.
There was a ET case when a postie got bored on the internet and "found" a DUM or Lino & his missus on a swinger's site, postie made arrangements on line and put a notice up if you want a good laugh meet at ? , in The Slapper's Arms or whatever it was , turned out half the Post Office was in the pub . RM sacked the postie for B&H, but the notice wasn't conclusive evidence and RM's case was thrown out. :lfo
