Great and the good

I am not a slavish follower of football but I read that Manchester City are hoping to sign Kaka from Berlusconi's team AC Milan, for an absurd sum.

I should have thought he had one problem at Milan - his name sounds like (albeit spelled with a C) the Italian for 'shit'.

It always raises an eyebrow when I read of actress Salma Hayek. Nice to have the surname of a great economist but Salma in Italian means 'corpse'.

Names in Nantwich

This blog will continue fearlessly to expose instances of politicians not using their correct names. Here is one from the forthcoming Nantwich and Crewe by-election.

I urge you not to consider voting for someone who will not put their right name on their own publicity.
