Commit some awful, indefensible cock-up and he’d sigh and shoo you away. But forget to double-space your printout or leave coffee-cup rings on a desk and, quite randomly, you could detonate a cluster bomb of his wrath. Old age is a foreign concept for Somali pirates Janice Turner Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:01:00 GMT 2009-10-30T07:16:10Z The film Up, that deeply affecting study on mortality masquerading as a kids’ cartoon, tells of a couple who from childhood share a dream of adventure. They fill a jar with spare change, saving for their big trip to Paradise Falls. But the roof leaks, bills need paying: life keeps emptying the jar, until one day death smashes it for good.

It is a jewel-bright salwar kameez and the dupatta — the scarf that cascades over the shoulder — is in the pattern of the Union Jack. Drunkenness knows no social boundaries Janice Turner Sat, 10 Oct 2009 00:01:00 GMT 2009-10-19T11:30:46Z What Chris Grayling needed was a spangly suit. The Shadow Home Secretary has the cringing mien of a man who, having received one fearsome bollocking, is anxious to avoid another. But his speech on Wednesday was like a discount supermarket advert, with Mr Grayling filling the Lurex trousers of “Fluff” Freeman, shouting out the crazeee bargains in store. Except that in this through-the- looking-glass Tory new world, stuff would be twice as dear. New Labour is like a hipster dad who just got heavy with his daughters Janice Turner Sat, 03 Oct 2009 00:01:00 GMT 2009-10-19T11:31:09Z It is hard to say which was more depressing: that a Labour Prime Minister believed his skin might be saved by announcing teenage mothers “from now on” would be compelled to raise their babies in state-run hostels, or the applause it got from his party.
