Boris Johnson has caused offence again after he said that it was okay to drink and talk. It appears that he opened his mouth at a recent 'People's Question Time' that took place at Fairfield Hall Croydon. He had apparently had a couple of beers before the speech.

He said: "I have just one idea, if more people spoke their minds and fewer people drove cars you would not have to worry about the alcohol laws and I sincerely believe that. I have absolutely no prohibition about drinking a pint or two of beer and making a speech whereas I would not do that in a car."

Boris has offended a range of people but in particular those who hate listening to his drunken ramblings. Campaigners are saying that it is clear that he is not fit to speak after a 'couple of pints' and should actually keep his mouth shut or at least use an autocue to guide him to where he is going.

The glamour model and cookery star, Natasha Laudanum has informed the London newspaper the Evening Standard that she has run out of anything interesting to say. She told the Standard's 'Londoner' Diary that she is 'shit' out of ideas and that all she could reveal was that she recently bought twelve dresses for her summer holiday. This fascinating revelation was accompanied by a picture of the 'Bombshell' as she is now known in one of the dresses.

There has been a public outpouring of grief for the B list celebrity who ever since she started her relationship with publicist Charlie Satchmo has 'dumbed down' considerably. When she is not pouting over a steaming bowl of hot chocolate, she will invariably be found inanely discussing her wardrobe, assuming that this will somehow give her street cred.

The syndrome that is afflicting her generally goes by the acronym B.L.U.D.D (or Brainy Lass Undergoes Dumbing Down). It tends to afflict well educated female journalists who realise they can sell their souls for a pair of Manolo Blahniks. Many female journalists who should know better have been afflicted by the syndrome and it is feared that this might go some way towards explaining the fact that the reputation of women in journalism (feminism notwithstanding) is not a happy one.
