There was an item this afternoon on CNBC that Michael Jackson's new CD which was released last week hit #1 in the UK yesterday. Despite recent revelations over here, his British CD sales have not suffered at all.

This happened last year I recall when he was in a spot of bother. Can't recall over what.

I quote this merely to say that the phrase "a spot of bother" just seems REALLY cool to me. Much like recent hip-hop lingo, I could probably never actually say it myself without sounding totally stupid, but it sure sounds cool coming from the source. Seriously.

The odd thing is I'd not say it in real life except in the most ironic manner.

I say, bulletin boards bring out the sheer class, nay, the very blue blood within one, what?

"What" INDEED!

[BruceH]

Quite.

[Alexander]

Indeed.

[Jazzmoose]

Rather.

[chris olivarez]

Precisely.

I don't recall it gaining any coverage on American websites (pacé the wider media), but Paedophiles have been the source of much hysteria in the UK; it isn't something the UK could be said to be lax about. In one notorious incident, the external walls of a Paediatricians apartmernt had the word Paedo sprayed on to it.

Curious!

Even if I wanted to buy that new greatest hits CD of his, I don't think I could. I'd feel guilty by association.

What's the status of the Pete Townsend case? Haven't heard anything since the initial arrest.
