Other people's diariesNever read other people's diaries and email - you'll never find anything nice in there. If it's not just slagging you off, it'll be sordid fantasies you really didn't want to know about, yet have to keep to yourself so as not to reveal how you found out.
So. What have you read 'accidentally' recently?

gallows humournot one to agree with people out of principle, but there is a strong case for humour in the face of adversity. coming from a family which endured the concentration camps and the rule of fascist Italy, I am under no illusions as to how much was suffered during this period. Yet I will never forget my Great Grandmother (an Italian, lived there during the war, had some awful stories to tell) watching an article on the news. Bear in mind we were sitting in the social room of the nursing home she lived in. After a piece on some political gerrymandering, she made a comment on how underhanded politics was, and why couldn't they all get along. She turned to me, gave me a conspiratorial wink and said very loudly "Mussolini never had this problem - bless Il Duce". In her best thick Italian accent. She was laughing about it for bloody weeks. She found it funny, she lived through it.
hmmm rant over
