Three sides to the great British summer

1. Flash floods in Cornwall. My favourite quote was from a man on the Today programme saying 'well we realised it was serious when we saw our fridge freezer float past'. That's the spirit.

2. Madame Tussauds introduces a Brad Pitt waxwork with a strokable chest and squeezable bum. I am not sure about this. What's next, a fuckable Kylie?

3. Billy Bragg is to rewrite 'I vow to thee my country', to be debuted at the Labour Party Conference. A little bit Elton, a little bit earnest, a little bit just plain excruciating. Probably.
