Tell Arabella what to do

Wednesday, 7th May 2008

A friend has pointed out that I might have been a tad unkind to Arabella Weir. As he puts it:

It is not entirely clear to me that she actually intends to go on hunger strike – the timeline is rather unclear. It appears that she will be attempting to do a number of things simultaneously, a few of which seem to defy the laws of physics.
Indeed. Here's what she said:
I will go on hunger strike and throw myself in front of the next horse at Ascot if he wins. Failing that I was going to say I'll sleep with him, but he'd probably say yes. So instead I'll chain myself to the railings of his house. And then I'll move out of London. 
I think we need to help her make up her mind. She promised to do four things, so I've set up a poll for you to vote on which option she should pursue. Conveniently, there's a meeting at Ascot on Saturday, so I'll make Friday at 6pm the deadline to vote. That way, should the majority of you want her to throw herself under a horse, she'll have plenty of time to get to Ascot the next day. (I like to be helpful.)
