Yes! And see if you can repeat that twenty times! The topic of this article is indeed the jolly jollies jollied by the jolly MPs of our jolly parliament for their jolly expenses using jolly pounds of the jolly tax payer. Whether it is jolly entertainment or jolly houses, the jolly MPs of our jolly parliament have found fine jollies for jollying around with the jolly pounds of the jolly tax payer. And… It is all jolly well! For the jolly rules are rather jolly, and the jolly MPs of our jolly parliament can jolly well abide by the jolly rules and still be jolly rude with our jolly tax payer pounds, and jolly them to and fro into jolly expenses rather than jolly housing, jolly hospitals, jolly roads, and jolly ethics. I jolly well rest my case…

‘Bout a week ago I went to the London Sci Fi Film Festival with a friend of mine to see The City of Lost Children – in full 35mm glory! Marc Caro, also the director of Delicatessen, was there in person for a pre-show interview. The festival director kept throwing chocolate into the audience, and a lucky guy (actually girl!) won an XBOX 360 – signed by Caro. Oh, yes then there were a couple of signed DVD give-aways too. All in all a good time – including going up and down the ‘Solid Gold’ blue neon stairs at the Apollo. Though I did not go this year, they also do an Anime all-nighter with Red Bull and Ice-Cream (from midnight to about 9 am).
