One of the facts below is true, do you know which one?
a. The new Italian Pm Mario Monti was an actor in his younger days and in a return to the business they call show, auditioned for the part of Bilbo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings trilogy,...alas he didn't get the part as he was too tall.
b. Mervyn King (or Sir Merv of Swerv as he has affectionately [?] become known,) in his spare time plays lead banjo for an amateur band called The Invincibles. Their signature tune is is ' I wish I could shimmy like my Great Aunty Vera.' (deep joy !)
c. Chairman of the Federation , sorry Fed - Ben 'vader' Bernanke collects Datsun cars and restores them in his spare time. He is particularly proud of his 120Y model that he bought on ebay from an old lady in Arizona who had to sell on account of her husband having a false arm and the gearstick interfered with the webbing on sharp right hand bends - there being many in Arizona (apparently !)
d. Ex Uk Chancellor Alaister Darling whilst in office had to postpone a much needed operation at the height of the 2008 Financial crisis. It resulted in irepairable damage such that in bad weather he has to 'spend a penny' every 20 minutes.
e. Margaret Thatcher turned down a guest appearance in the popular american series All McBeal. She considered it but pulled out at the last minute because terms could not be agreed...even though she had gone as far as having an 'Autumn Conker' rinse on her famous 'helmet hairstyle.'
Lordy is that the time,...I'm off to bed...nighty night....
