TheBARman (see wot i did there?

Whatever, typical celeb. Bad enough having to sit and watch that rhonda rousey or whatever blub on tv again and again.

I don't watch them but they're so high profile that you see the occasional ad reminding you he is there

The only plus of Arsenal winning the Premiership for me would be to further demonstrate my view that he knows nothing at all about football. Not that he'd ever recongnise that himself.

He takes the continued ommission if his mate Kevin Peitersen as a personal insult.

Speaking of football, Andrij Schevchenko, Frank de Boer and Paolo Malidini all in First on their way to Vegas today with some other footballers that will have to remain unidentified by my friend on the flight. Seems to be an AC Milan reunion party seeing as they all played together there.

Interestingly* Clinton was the last US President to get lifetime Secret Service protection. It was changed whilst he was in office** to be for 10 years after the president leaves office. So Bush Jr hasn't got many years left to go with his protection.
*for a given value of interesting.
**and therefore didn't apply to him but to his successors.

Rockefeller when he was VP had his own Gulfstream which he preferred to the military plane they offered for his use. That used the callsign Executive Two.

I've met his Secret Service detail on ACK and was under no illusions as to the trouble I would be in if I did anything they didn't like. There wasn't any verbal threats just asked me to stay in my watercraft (a kayak) and not to move towards the shore. I didn't know what was going on until Bush Snr arrived and got into one of the two Suburbans his detail had turned up in.
