Prezza's tale
4:20pm
I am almost certainly in a minority of one on this, but I suspect that John Prescott’s memoirs will be a lot more interesting than people are expecting. On all the Blair retrospective programmes, it was noticeable how frank Prescott was about how bad things had got between Blair and Brown. I also can’t help but wonder if Prescott, who is clearly--and understandably--irked by the way he’s depicted as an incomprehensible oaf with an excess of libido, might want to show just how much he had to do behind the scenes to keep the show on the road.
Anyway, my question is what will the opening line of Prescott’s memoirs be? Do leave your suggestions in the comments. My only hope is that it doesn’t involve bicycles and the 11 plus.

August 13th, 2007 5:14pmOpening line has to be: " I should just like to say thankyou to Norman Lamont; without him none of it would have been possible". And although it is laudable that you are trying to avoid finking the unfinkable, James, don't you mean "oaf"?
