Had a debate about Heather Mills McCartney in the office today and the general consensus is that she's out to dig more gold than the mineral mining communities of Africa.
I suggested she was also an Argos version of Princess Di and that to eradicate her from our collective consciousnesses we should come up with a list of five more famous amputees.
So for the record here are our five amputees who are more deserving of newspaper coverage than the former Mrs Macker – even though they've all been dead for many years...
1) Cole Porter (song-writing mono-pedded genius at the end of his life)
2) Sarah Bernhard (acting mono-pedded genius at the end of her life)
3) Josiah Wedgwood (porcelain and pottery maverick with one good pin)
4) Arthur Askey (comedy demi-god who lost both his legs at the end)
5) Douglas Bader (Air Force ace and PoW extraordinaire with no legs)
God bless them all...
