Well the hangover seems to be abating somewhat. Fortunately Barrymore was a no show, so it was only Elton's Bentley that ended up floating face down in the pool.
In fact I had a bit of a rude awakening this morning when I peered into my inbox. An email from a regular nark with the one liner: 'Watch out, Sandy Ezekielavich might be inspired by reading this, if of course he could read', followed by a link to a story on the BBC website:
The owner of an internet site critical of the Russian authorities in the volatile region of Ingushetia has been shot dead in police custody.
Magomed Yevloyev, owner of the ingushetiya.ru site, was a vocal critic of the region's administration. The Russian prosecutor's office said an investigation into the death had been launched, Russia media report. A post on Yevloyev's site says he was detained by police after landing at the airport of the main town, Nazran. The website owner was taken to hospital but died from his injuries.
Yikes! I'd better get my security adviser, Fat Kev, to look out the old kevlar vest toute de suite!

New Kids On The Blog
Another weekend, another couple of blogs.
Madpup in Thanet mixes splendid aerial photographs of Kent's Ramsgate Peninsula with rants about the state of the Ile, and is run by a fellow who used to provide mobile disco services to the cognoscenti.
Anthea Turner Around Margate is the story of one faded presenter's forlorn hope that the Arsonists' Playground could be tidied up a bit and maybe improved by putting a couple of pretty pictures above the fireplace.
Both have, um, a familiar ring about them. By the way, my review of these blogs has in no way been influenced by the fact that the first provides direct competition to my arch enemy, Dr Biggles, and the second has completely overlooked linking to Thanet's premier commentator, yours truly.
Nor has it been influenced by the fact that I'm feeling particularly peevish this morning having sunk the best part of half a bottle of Bombay Sapphire at the ECR TV launch party last night. Thank you.
