    I have found that this particular wine does make your hairpiece lift

    Iain Dale tried to convince doubting journalist that he has indeed found the Holy Grail.

    "James, do you fancy a lick of the ice-cream that someone has placed in my champagne glass?"

    No honestly, rub a bit more champagne in, and it stops the hair loss. Works for me..

    Iain, hi! I see we use the same barber - "short-back-and-sides" Paul at Le Croupiers des Hommes Effeme, Bruxelles.

    I should imagine it was a bit like this .....


    DALE
    It is my soul that calls upon my name:
    How silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues by night,
    Like softest music to attending ears!
    MACINTIRE
    Iain !!!!!!!
    DALE
    My dear?
    MACINTIRE
    At what o'clock to-morrow
    Shall I send to thee?
    DALE
    At the hour of nine.
    MACINTIRE
    I will not fail: 'tis twenty years till then.
    I have forgot why I did call thee back.
    DALE
    Let me stand here till thou remember it.
    MACINTIRE
    I shall forget, to have thee still stand there,
    Remembering how I love thy company.
    MACINTIRE
    And I'll still stay, to have thee still forget,
    Forgetting any other home but this.

    Etc.

    Close ?

    Dale
    If I hold your neck like this and squeeze hard for 5 minutes, then you will never be able to write again.

    Macintyre

    Go right ahead. I just get my articles pre-written by Peter Manddeslon anyway.

    Iain Dale: "What has a convicted terrorist in HMP Whitemoor doing a stand up comedy routine and David Cameron got in common?".

    James Macintyre: "They both have failed the public acceptability test!".

    "Yeah Iain, that's right, I speak to Obama twice a week on the blower and that's where I get all my top-line Whitehouse policy stories from. Yeah, The New York Times keeps offering me a job because my scoops are so good, but why would I leave where I am?...... What? The New Statesman!"

    Iain: I really like Cameron
    Macintyre: You really hate him that much.
    Iain: No. I said I really like him.
    Macintyre: You really detest him do you? That'll make great copy.
    Iain: I give up!
    Macintyre: You're launching a leadership bid too. At this rate I'm going to win the Pulitzer.
    Iain: I'd really like to make love to you James.
    Macintyre: You're joining the Labour Party! Gordon is going to appoint me Minister of Defence.
    Iain: James, even you could do better than Ainsworth.
    Macintyre: You're telling me you support Al Qaeda and giving up politics, moving to Afghanistan to fight with the Taliban.
    Iain: I need a stiff one.
    Macintrye: The bar is over there.

    JM: I'd love to stay and listen, but I really must dash.
    ID: Well just let me tell you about my list of the hundred most boring bloggers. You'll never guess who's top.

    "But I am James Macintyre!"
