Much ado about chocolate

Brian Taylor | 09:52 UK time, Wednesday, 21 November 2007

The Mars Bar has been claimed 鈥 and by a spin doctor!

You鈥檒l recall that I deployed a quote from Shakespeare in an earlier blog - and was rash enough to offer confectionery to the individual who identified the play involved.

Tony McElroy of the Labour Party correctly spotted that the phrase 鈥渕ewling and puking鈥 comes from the Seven Ages soliloquy in 鈥淎s You Like It鈥.

Yes, the one that begins 鈥渁ll the world鈥檚 a stage.鈥

Nice to know that there is at least one individual in the Labour team who is accustomed to polite language.

I shall, of course, deliver said Mars Bar within the lifetime of the present parliament, as economic circumstances permit.

However, you must understand that the financial constraints placed upon this blog by the Treasury mean that tough choices must be made.

Yet another example of how close the 大象传媒 are to the apparatus of spin - tell us Brian, did he give you the answer over lunch or just text it direct to your personal mobile?

Joking, of course. Good to know that there's a degree of literacy amongst these folks.

And to think he said the 大象传媒 had a pro-SNP bias!

He'll have to accept, though, that the tight financial settlement means that the Mars Bar will have to be of the size formerly known as fun.

Having said that, I must take issue with your contention that "there is at least one individual in the Labour team who is accustomed to polite language" - Google is a wonderful thing!

I've got the discs, I stuck them in the toaster to rub my name out.
