According to Martin Beckford of the Daily Torygraph the muddle classes are knocking back too much of the old chardonnay for their own good.
So its not just that other lot that ruining their chances of a long life with too much Watneys Red Barrel and blue nun, its us as well. How else are we to stomach the stresses and strains of middle class life.. you know…the skiing holidays, the music lessons and not enough red meat.
Today the economy was given another deadly blow with the release of better than expected sales figures according to this BBC article
As we know nowadays, all economic is news is bad even if its good and anything that is comforting is cause for concern.
No wonder they called it the great depression ie. a period when people cant think straight and interpret all human activity as hopeless and doomed.

Likely takers are thought to be Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall where huge applications of the oil is often applied or even drizzled over an assortment of foods.
It is thought the pirates might go further west and seek out Rick Stein but these are unconfirmed reports.
The hijacking of the oil tanker is seen as worrying escalation from the more traditional suburban pirate methods such as biting satire and the sharp use of wit.

Obama is to spend 230 million green ones on TV advertising. Its no wonder that his campaign slogan is ‘Change we need’, any loose change will do nicely.
Poor Georgina Baillie has had to cut short her tour according to Laura Roberts of the Mail to deal with the Brand/Ross stink. Posing for the Sun and getting Max Clifford on board was also an important part of the painful process of being humiliated. Its an ill wind.
Baileys anyone?

Tony Parsons at the Mirror has pointed out here that the BBC has recently taken the easy option and edited the recent wonderful Harry and Paul to stop being bombed. There was due to be a sketch about a Muslim hoodie in a similar vein to the ‘Northerner’ character who gets poorly treated by a white middle class southerner.
Well come on then Tony, why dont you bite the bullet and try it yourself, publish and be damned, have a laugh, get yourself on the receiving end of a comedy cut…throat that is.
It was fashionable back in 1997 to be New Labour and middle class. Even John Prescott, the bruiser from the left was happy to join in the fun according to this BBC article
But I wonder if now in 2008 John is still a fully paid up member of the muddle classes. We will have to watch his new series about class that starts on Oct 27 to find out. After 10 years of Cherie Blair and watching the Labour party drag itself through the mud I suspect he is now quite happy to keep a distance from the mayhem that is middle class. We shall see
