A parlour game
It looks like Tony Blair’s finally going to get a job to which he’s eminently suited: Middle East peacemaker.
It got me thinking about other people who are otherwise wasted in their current careers and what they’d be more suited to.
Obviously, I’m thinking along the lines of Pete Doherty as Drugs Czar, Gary Glitter as Children’s Minister and Stevie Wonder as Formula One driver.
Alastair Campbell as submissive gimp in a Berlin S&M dungeon. That kind of thing.
Please, join in…
