Given the author, this is as inevitable as Tim linking to that Steve Verdon guy, but I feel compelled to recommend a book.

It utterly lacks topical relevance in the US and so will presumably never be published over there, but I thought you should know. If you’re unfamiliar with the interesting word usements structured by the Deputy Prime Minister, here’s a nice one to get going with.

And my favorite from the book, taken from the “Prescott And The Press” section:

JOHN PRESCOTT: Bear in mind that it’s something like 70 to 80 percent of the actual demand are single-parent households or single youngsters or people who are living in a single house - can we do that again?

People who are living in a single house - can we do that again? I made that crap.

INTERVIEWER: We are actually live at the moment.
