Paul Waugh has an amusing tale about the members of the Hurlingham Club up in arms about Cherie Blair addressing a dinner there. I was more interested in the fact that she only charges £1,500 to make a speech. I've been known to get more than that, for goodness sake! I've also been known to get less, I have to admit.
Did I mention Specialist Speakers, should you wish to book? Me, that is, not Cherie... :)
Cherie is very much on the same circuit as the Elvis Impersonators, Strippers and Rubber Chickens.
ReplyDeleteAn evening with Margaret Thatcher and Iain Dale is much better, believe me. Go on Hurlingham, you know you want to.
Iain, I'm pretty sure the website is http://www.specialistspeakers.com/
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you have a vacancy in the PR department ;-)

Let her eat croissant à la Cherie Antoinette.
ReplyDeleteshe must really be on her uppers
ReplyDeleteBloody hell Iain - you get £1500 (sometimes) for a speech! Nice work if you can get it... Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteIain, have you considered doing a twosome speaking engagement with Mrs Blair?
ReplyDeleteI'll gladly pay twice my going rate to attend such an event that holds the real possibility of people rolling in the aisles with laughter. You, for your normal droll self, and Mrs Blair for taking herself so seriously.
Iain,
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame you didn't get in touch.
You could have used this nice picture of Cherie to illustrate your post.
