For that Manly Glow!

An AFP report has revealed the SECRET to that famous all-year healthy glow on British Prim Minister Tony Blair, husband of visiting Cherie to Malaysian shores -- he spends almost twice as much on make-up as the average British woman.
Figures released by Downing Street in answer to a parliamentary question showed that Blair (in' ble pix shown here) spent more than 1,800 pounds (RM11,815) on make-up and make-up artists over the past six years.
In contrast, the average British woman spends 195 pounds (RM1,280) a year on both make-up and skincare. (Desi: no mention of the whereabouts of the artists.;)

Desiderata: However, the AFP report did NOT state whether Cherie is an average spender when it comes to make-up ... my guess is: less than average, she has gl(r)ow(n) au natureil.;))

It's good to know that the misuse of taxpayers' money is not limited to this part of the world.

I'm sure in the future our esteemed ministers would use this as an example to further justify their extravagant way of life.

Now if only they would emulate the good practices of the foreign countries as well? Is that too much to ask?

Hi Imran:

I'm NOT worried about such Extravaganza running into thousands ...It's the one running into some digits followed by NINE ZELOES I'm running scared, becoming quite common.

Some RM4billion paid, and no delivery of the 2 miserable patrol boats. MAS RM8bil, Perwaja RM10bil ...I better not go on ... cyberspace may not out of space!

Row, Row, Row your boat
Gently down the Stream
Merrily, merrily
Life is NO MORE a dream.

BUT we can still afford our Teh Tarik, Yum Sing! No worries!
