One gentleman took my elbow, shuffled me to a discreet corner and whispered: "I have been here for 40 years, dined with royalty. Today if I was young, I would go straight to Bin Laden. Mr Blair is a war criminal. Don't put my name down, but tell him we detest him." He then said my watch was too cheap and that he would be honoured to give me one more befitting my status.

Am I the only one who thinks this might be parody?

She was probably talking to Galloway.

Lol, good point! I think it really happened, but maybe I'm just too taken in by the arab stereotype.

I don't know about parody, but this guy is obviously too dense to know when someone's making a pass at him.

My bad, the author is an authoress.

But she's STILL too dense to know when someone's hitting on her.

[Madame Dufarge]

I'm still laughing at the watch reference.

Except I don't think it is parody.
