Moustachioed novelist and veteran campaigner against female
 stereotypes Muriel Gaylord, complains to the authorities when she 
finds herself disqualified from the Men's Trampoline Finals 
at this year's London Olympics. "Well, that's the ugly face
 of discrimination at work," she says and attempts to shrug  it off  by 
offering to write a twenty thousand word essay about her experience for the Guardian, who decline.

them employ the word 'louche' he buys them whatever they fancy.

Veteran love poet Dudley Cardigan was awarded a brace of prestigious
Golden Candlesticks - presented by a couple of our favourite
'Poetry in Motion Girls' - at the Poetry Society last night, 
in recognition of his contribution to Erotic Verse. Dudley could not
 attend the ceremony and has rarely been seen in public since the 
unfortunate accident during one of his readings of 'The Fiddlers Elbow' 
when a woman in the audience threw her knickers at the stage, 
catching the elderly poet a glancing blow to the head and knocking
him into the orchestra pit (see post for Tuesday 18th October)

 editor at Heart Throb Library failed to make an offer, complaining
that the first volume 'Fragrant Memories' failed to meet expectations
and had to be given to Ikea as window-dressing for their shelving
