Tamzin's take on the week

issue 08 December 2007

Sunday

Weekend duty totally ruined by silly Sayeeda’s trip to Sudan. Spent all day yesterday fielding calls for pre-trip interviews, but she couldn’t do any of them because she had an urgent appointment at Daniel Galvin for a cut and blow dry before she went to the airport. Dave and Mr Hague think it’s all v bad idea and will go horribly wrong on account of her uncanny knack of saying exactly the wrong thing at precisely the wrong time. Jed declared at one point it would have been better to send Mr Hague and let him ‘bore Bashir rigid about how Islam is just like Judo’.

Monday

The row has reached Wibberley! Busy Bees nursery displaying a Mickey Mouse called Mohammed in its front window. The Happy Hooves riding school has renamed three of its horses Mohammed and Mrs Pargetter has changed the name of the old manor house from Mallard’s Reach to Mohammed’s Reach.
