The Observer

 

A good week for ...

 

Chelsy Davy

It's not just the Talibenemy who are pleased that the battlefields of Afghanistan have lost Prince Harry. His girlfriend looks delighted in the many hundreds of photographs taken of the couple, reunited - and lovely to see business back to usual - leaving a party in the early hours last week.

 

John Lewis

The retail chain, that is, which is run as a partnership owned by every one of its staff. It made huge profits last year, meaning those same staff will split £181m between them. Doubles - or, rather, discount white goods - all round.

 

Martin Luther

The heretic Protestant is set to be rehabilitated by the Pope. The Pontiff will argue that Luther, who died in 1546, never intended to split the Catholic church. Evidently, there was just a little bit of doctrinal misunderstanding going on.

 

Ken Livingstone

The mayor of London's fighting fund was boosted by £230,000, courtesy of an art auction. Marc Quinn, Banksy and Antony Gormley were among the artists donating work. It's to keep out Boris the Barbarian, Ken suggests. 'Art for art's sake,' as those philosophers 10cc once sang, 'money for God's sake.'

A bad week for ...

 

 

Nicolas Sarkozy

The diminutive, shy, pouting, and newly married French President was temporarily faced with the painful sight of his ex in the limelight. Versace revealed that she'd be wearing one of its gowns on her wedding day. They don't hang around, these Frenchies, do they?

 

Chris Hollins

The BBC Breakfast sports presenter was live on TV discussing the facilities for athletes in the Beijing. 'A shower might cause a few problems for Paula Radcliffe who as we know prefers an arse bath or two.' He meant, of course, 'ice bath', he assured us, which seems to amount to the same thing.

 

The Bishop of St Davids

The Right Reverend Carl Cooper has split from his wife. Rumour has it that it may be connected to his friendship with a female priest under his care and a church enquiry is under way. We prefer to think there was just a bit of spiritual guidance going on.

 

Crufts

Bookmaker William Hill closed its books on the question of which category the overall winning dog will come from. There is suspicious heavy betting, it seems, on the 'utility dog'. Is nothing sacred?

 

 

to be in the limelight — быть в центре внимания; быть на виду

 

I don't see how Jim can ever amount to much. — Я не понимаю, как Джим сможет достичь чего-либо значительного.

 

Nothing is sacred to them. — Для них нет ничего святого.
