Georgina Baillie


There has been a lot of fuss about voice mail messages left on Andrew Sachs phone by Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross regarding Russell having shagged his granddaughter, all on a BBC radio 2 show. Thousands of complaints have followed by 'Angry of Tonbridge Wells' demanding the sacking of the presenters etc etc. Am I completely alone in thinking that it was actually quite funny. It's not as if the lady in question, Georgina Baillie, is a nice little choir girl. She is an exotic dancer and glamour model. I'm sure she can put up with a bit of stick and this is just the publicity she would crave to push her into the mainstream. I bet she will be on 'Celebrity Big Brother' next and be making a small fortune out of appearances in magazines such as Nuts. If Sachs had kept his appointment to appear on Brand's show he wouldn't have been subjected to the voice mails and his granddaughters career would never have taken off as well as it will now.

World record sandwich? Iranians eat evidence

Having seen the food at parties disappear in seconds whilst visiting Iran this story really comes as no great surprise.

Iran failed Friday to register what it said would be the world's largest sandwich in the Guinness book of World Records after people rushed forward and began eating it -- before it was measured.

Event organisers had planned to stuff the 1,500-metre-long sandwich with 700 kg of ostrich meat and 700 kg of chicken, and display it in a park in the capital Tehran.

But as the sandwich was being measured, chaos ensued. The giant snack was gone in minutes, a Reuters witness said, leaving the three Guinness representatives present with a dilemma.

One of the event's organisers said video footage of the sandwich would be sent to Guinness officials.

"We still think the sandwich will be recorded in the Guinness book because of all the evidence and footage that we will send them," Parvin Shariati said.
