This was not my own achievement
But I would like to raise a toast to someone who commented on the Guardian website under one of Tracy Emin's pretentious, slobbering excuses for a column.

This "article" of hers was in response to some proposition from Parliament to put a 50% tax on any monies earned over something like £150k. You know, those kind of salaries that even bankers put in 10+ years' hard work to achieve. She declared that if this was introduced, she'd emigrate to France, "where they are more supportive of the art community" or some-such bollocks (read: "so I can keep a larger proportion of the obscene amount of money I'm due from whatever arse-shaving of a project I'm working on currently")

So, lady-b3tans and gentle-b3tans: I really hope she reads the comments that are posted, because I would propose a toast, nay, I would like to buy a pint for, the chap who simply commented with
"Au revoir, then, you money-grabbing mare."
