... "Banks to defy PM with £2bn bonus" when the "Most Read" section in The Times caught my eye. The most read page tonight is "A guide to the new luxury sex toys". Apparently, the businesses selling them experienced increased sales last year. Luxury items. Good to see something bucking the market trends, though.

I prefer a Swatch, Helene; failure that it is, it suits me! ;-)

Talking about increased sales… I don’t know about Rolex but one of our President’s best friends, Jacques Seguela, an influential French publicity man (the one who introduced Carla B to the president), said last week on tv: If you don’t own a Rolex before 50, you’re a failure. If that’s his answer to the financial collapse I’m not sure we have the same kind of troubles every day… Just to say that luxury items may still be really trendy among some people.
