Thierry Henry Hoover

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Over the past few days my ears have been picking up bizarro news stories left, right and centre, but the one that has really stuck in my mind made me picture homes and work places across Ireland becoming neglected and bedraggled-looking soon.

Y’see, following a certain (dirty, stinking, cheating…) incident involving Thierry Henry, apparently scores of Irish have taken umbrage with their Henry Hoovers. To the extent that “some have painted over the name on the cleaner and wiped the smile off its little red face” says The Sun

According to family over the water, the controversy of M. Henry’s hand of god moment has had such media focus that the incredible floods that have hit places like Galway (easily rivaling the devastation that swept through Cumbria) have gone relatively uncovered on the news. Horrible, but at least thanks to The Sun we can enjoy a fine bit of photoshopping that sees Henry meet Henry.

    Going Too Far, by Catherine Alliott. Susie: I rarely read 'girly' books but came across Alliott a few years ago. I've read 3 of her books thus far, and was delighted to spot this one for 30p in a charity shop. I've not opened it as yet but am hoping for another witty, grown-up, middle-class romcom, with lots of 4x4s and country houses!
