" So, how does the off-side rule work, Matt?"
Lesson one - How to speel
Bush and your corrospondentSo, off to the Kremlin to the launch of a book on football with Bush, which of course is very important. Not as important as the free food, beer and wine of course, but important enough. Being hosted by the Groaniad, most of the people there were rather scruffy, but that’s what passes for smart in media circles, I am informed.
Anyway, a good time was had by all, Bush was mentioned in the closing credits and Salman Rushdie was nowhere to be seen. I only managed to embarrass Bush twice, once by arriving in the first place (the girl on the door had been forewarned) and again by asking the chap running the bar where “the pretty girl with the red hair” was (he was only too willing to oblige – perhaps I don’t look stalker-ish enough to be a danger to women). Only time will tell if we’re invited again. Not that I’m holding my breath, of course.
