PART-TIME music snobs have been tutting and sighing about the imminent Christmas single featuring both Susan Boyle and Elvis. They think Elvis represents something sanctified and Boyle, something awful. These people, clearly, have little knowledge in either and, in fact, don’t realise how this duet makes a whole load of sense.

Gordon Brown Wants To Be Serious: Now For Elvis

GORDON Brown wants to focus on the real issues. Every Labour nodding head pops up on the telly to say Gordon Brown is about “substance“. We don’t know what the substance is but it might well be sausage stuffing and bits of herring. Says Gordon:

Elvis Presley At 75: In 75 Rare Pictures

HAD he lived – which he did – Elvis Presley would be 75 today. Old Mr Anorak saw Elvis just yesterday. He knew it was Elvis because the man sat in the Sainsbury’s café kept swivelling the toe of his left foot on the lino and also because he was immensely fat. Meanwhile,. I was in Baker Street looking at Asian Elvis, Geordie Elvis, Jewish Elvis and Sicilian Elvis celebrated Elvis Presley’s 75th Birthday outside an Elvis shop. Then a Taliban Elvis arrived and murdered everyone… Pictures:
