Anyone else think 'A Journey' is rather a dull name?

"A series of amusing caricatures of the prophet mohammed in embarressing situations all drawn by me, Tony Blair, for the delight of the whole World"
...a boy can dream.

(From here, if you can stomach reading about some of the grimmer details of his sexlife).
Would anyone care to speculate on what sort of ways those would be?

Just imagine him sitting there in his 'Legal Profession' mindset listening to a room full of marketing and branding guru's when one say's "How about A Journey" and the room falls silent..

Yes - but not as dull as 'Eric'.

Would it be a lark to print some to wrap around and gussy up the dull as ditchwater otherie, with that horrible squinty leer on the front of it? My view, which I have spend several seconds developping, is that the Former Prime Minister of BritLand wanted first to snitch a snippet of the Sinatra title (hymn for Losers) and was pursuaded not to by a PR bunch he used to meet for policy discussions, possibly the same ones who wrote the 2006 Legal Services Act - but I digress - and so then wanted to call it How I Became the Most Marvellous Individual on Earth, with which all those toadies agreed in principle, only asking that he settle instead for a rhetical question which produced his preferred title as a silent response. It was tough going, but finally, when the book was going to print they got him to draw names out of a hat, which he did, not knowing that all the bits of paper had the same title written on them (by the fine Italian Hand of Pierre le Fils du Mandel). Afterwards they found nice things to say about Growth and Progression and Upwards and Onwards and and historical feats of Great Mannism.
All utterly sickening, really. But I figure that's how it was. Oh and yes: Robert Harris wrote the dirty bits.

Anyway as some shameless self promotion - here's one of thisisalloneword's redacted poems for your entertainment. TIA1W will then be embarking upon a nationwide book signing tour of the UK where he will sign Mr T Blair's A Journey whilst redacting sections of the book. Feel free to throw shoes.

Not only did Robert Harris gussie up the Bliar's nocturnal activities, but it now seems that Peter Morganwrote the Leading Lady lines which the Former British Prime Minister quotes in the book he has finally given up autographing at book shops everywhere.
Lies, damned lies and not a statistic in sight? What a lark. That peculiar whinnying sound you can hear is me lol 100 miles away.
