People forgetting it's a Sunday timetable on many services today, someone looks to be waiting for the 7 to Darlington in Ferryhill, they've got another 40 minutes yet, the 7 has only just left Ferryhill bound for Durham!

Al Murray ran for Thanet South back in the elections...

That same magazine was probably granted an exclusive with Kayne West on the understanding he would labelled 'The Most Influential Person in the World'.

Unfortunately, it's how a number magazines make a living these days.

(31 Aug 2015, 7:35 pm)Adam It gets on my wick that. Yet some poor souls will believe it and then treat him like some form of God.

I think he does it to gratify his own ego. If he reads it in a magazine which he has helped to influence, it confirms in his mind that he is the most influential person in the world.

It's like the old adage: 'If one does what God does enough times then one becomes God'.

And is far more suited to a career in politics, though he'd have a job removing his tongue from his cheek.

Mother Teresa is slightly beyond a career in politics, but this makes for interesting reading, anyhow.

(31 Aug 2015, 10:57 pm)Adam I enjoyed reading that. Thank you for sharing. It's a shame the full report that was due to be published is in French like but never mind. 

It totally puts a new spin on Mother Teresa and whether she too was seeking fame for her work, or accidentally became a famous by-product of the media wanting to promote the work that missionaries do. You know, informing people about what happens in the world, the essential basis of what journalism is.

The idea of a living saint was spin doctoring at its best - and certain sections of the media enabled that in much the same way as they beatified Princess Diana.

Currently sharing a Metro with a former GNE Facebook contributor who lists 'Srrivva North East' (sic) as one of his favourite bus operators.

Seeing someone with 'no surrender' tattooed onto the side of their bonce never fails to amuse.

Woman with a physique that makes mine look good, dressed in tight white trousers and rather translucent white t-shirt with black bra. I'm not into fat shaming, but the Husband laughed at my face when I saw her. I had my "WHY?" look on, apparently.

I had the misfortune of having to go to the Galleries yesterday, so I had plenty of that to deal with. Only seen two women out in what can only be described as pyjamas bottoms mind.
