‘Ladies, I have a mission for you on election day: cook. Sweet and exquisite things, please. Bring them to the polling station to be examined. The boldest can try making a tart, the most skilful, profiteroles’ ~ Silvio Berlusconi, Prime Minister of Italy.

Watts once said: any attempt to define oneself is like 'trying to bite ones own teeth'. Anyway. I am an ENTP, a Four, a Libran and a Water Ox; scatterbrained, organised, coulrophobic, messy, hopeful, sarcastic, optimistic, romantic.
I ♡ freshly ground black coffee, travelling on trains, white roses, hugs, finishing crosswords, steak medium-rare, a well-turned phrase, big-brained scientists, the departure lounge, my homemade marmalade on toasted crumpets, hand-written letters, the possibility of aliens, the possibility of god, remote New Zealand beaches, jazz trumpets, the colour red, rom-coms, the information superhighway, organic shapes, the poetry of ee cummings, the Bach cello suites of Yo-Yo Ma, ad-free content, picnics, pay day, and a good night's sleep.
I live London with the techie beekeeping paramour (ash) and the furs (rex & badger).

Just when I began to hope we’d closed that door for good, Berlusconi’s pin pops everyone’s balloon of optimism.
Lol, this reminds me of Bushisms :P
I remember when this guy disappeared off the face of the earth while he was Prime Minister, and re-appeared a month later after a face-lift :|
I liked the badge you crafted, by the way (for the Sunday Secrets project) – I put it up on my blog, The Loony Bean – you should visit it some time :)
@gwptc it really is quite a little prick
Funnily enough I was doing a news search for the story about the Italian nun fined for speeding yesterday, and the relevant page on the Daily Telegraph had a link in the sidebar to ‘Silvio Berlusconi’s women – the top 10’.
While I feel that the media are making the most of items that are not really news, stories like ‘[L’Espresso] claimed that 50 young women were flown to Villa Certosa for a “political course” which involved “singing, dancing, shopping and lunch”.’ do tend to stand out more than political ones, I must admit.
Lol! Dubya and this guy could be tied to the same cart!
Politicians do make silly statements sometimes, all the more fun for us. ;)
Keep posting. :)
