TUESDAY Gids back from hols, and v upset about the
Bullingdon business. I’m not surprised. The bar was set so high by Dave’s Bullers photo, and what with widespread comparisons to Spandau Ballet and other New Romantic heart-throbs, it was always going to be difficult for George. Even so, Frodo Baggins is a bit cruel! We shouldn’t have pinned lookalike pics on walls. He’s taken it v badly. After particularly squeaky meeting with Jed it’s been agreed that we draft a statement denying he ever rolled anyone down a hill in a Portaloo. While he may have witnessed an incident involving a portable toilet and a Hungarian count, at no time did he participate in the rolling process and now deeply regrets the inconvenience (tee hee) caused. Personally, I think this is a mistake. If it does come out, surely we should try to turn ‘Toiletgate’ to Gids’ advantage? I mean, aren’t ordinary Britons in town centres up and down the country committing random acts of drunken vandalism with street furniture every Friday night — and doesn’t Gids’ youthful exuberance show he can identify with the misunderstood Asbo generation? Is this or is this not an urban vote winner?! Suggested as much to Jed, but he said the last time he checked, the rest of Britain’s yobs weren’t dressing up in bespoke tailcoats and paying a subscription fee of £15,000 a year to redecorate the walls of Michelin-starred restaurants a delicate new shade called ‘hint of brain’, so he thinks it unlikely they will identify.
