Ronaldo In Palestine

My respect for Ronaldo, the great Brazilian footballing capybara, has risen. The BBC have a superb series of pictures showing his visit to Ramallah.

My gorgeous girlfriend has friends and relatives living there. It’s a nightmare of checkpoints and curfews and random violence, and it is characterised by the resident population’s great fortitude and complete determination not to allow the occupiers to win. As Peter Ustinov said, the Jews were the first victims of the Nazis, the Palestinians are the last.

Detox news: I went for a run. I am really looking forward to next weekend, and the beer and wine I shall not be drinking… Detox means: no coffee, alchohol, sweets, high fat food, meat. There’s no pressing need for this, it’s just vanity. I want my babysoft skin to stay on my body. I want to continue to sing like an angel and make music with the enthusiasm of a man half my age. I want to remain svelte. I want to write a book. I found an agent here in London who is interested. This is all the inspiration I need.
