My favourite Bin Laden Tweet

Following the recent death of Osama Bin Laden, I was avidly following the many posts on Twitter. As you can imagine, this one event caused a veritable avalanche of tweets. But the one that stood out for me went something like this: ' How come everyone is so happy that Osama Bin Laden is dead? Why? Was he a bad man?' The genius of this, of course, was that you couldn't quite know whether the person who made this 'tweet' was extremely stupid or extremely funny.

The other amusing aspect were the many people appearing on TV in far off Pakistan who emphatically argued that the US forces had not killed Osama, and that he, The Hero, was still very much alive and in military terms still a sleeping terrorist threat - a genuine case of “Not dead, but sleepeth”. Well, everyone to their own viewpoint, I suppose. Hell, anyway. Let's compromise on that one then: Isn't it possible that we all could agree on an epitaph such as “Not dead, but on the seabed.” I think we could all run with that, and I imagine it would be sufficiently accommodating for those who are still disinclined to believe that he is in fact dead.

The Tiger Green Brasserie at the Hilton Green Park

I was reflecting on this after another fine meal in one of Mayfair's many excellent restaurants - this time it was the Tiger Green Brasserie, a supremely good restaurant which is part of the Hilton London Green Park hotel. You can have your pick from a variety of absolutely wonderful food there, and I chose a delicately tasting fish dish of that type that falls in love with your palate and fills you with a sense of satisfaction that you would just love to share around.    In fact, I'd be happy to even share it with old Osama, but I expect he is fed up with fish at this stage.

As I said I was reflecting, and now that I consider it, how often I diverge from my assigned duty to write about hotels. This post is a case in point which should be about the latest deals for Mayfair hotels? Yes. I ought to be writing about hotels, and what happens: Osama gets in the way, God bless him. I think my only excuse is that I'm suffering from an information overload from listening to too much news.

One of these days I'll get a call from someone in administration to say: You know, you're supposed to be writing about hotels? Right. Luckily, none of these people ever read this Blog, so for sometime yet I can still feel free to write as I please. Just as Osama has an entire ocean to himself, likewise I am a lone voice in this particular area of cyberspace - unnoticed, unhindered and completely at liberty to say what I want without discovery. Thank God!

As a promise, next week I' ll write about Mayfair hotels.

Same old same Eurovision. Same old predictable Eurofarce.

Well congratulations to Azerbaijan and commiserations to Blue  -  you did a great job guys.  After that, Jedward looked good, but this time don't come away with the award for freakiest performance. No.  That most certainly goes to Moldova  -  proudly on a stage with a set of colorful traffic cones.  Very few delivered a performance which might remind you that this was a song contest, but France and Iceland tried.

On the more serious side of the contest, my vote for most shaftable contestant definitely goes to Lena from Germany.  You don't need to sing, darling .......being there is enough. To which I can only add:  Ich komme mein Liebling.

If we had sense we would call a halt to this Eurofarce with its predictable vote swapping arrangement. Sad.  It used to have some credibility, and some good songs.  It has little of either now since the inclusion of the former Soviet Bloc countries. Ok, Comrades.  You win again.
