Looks like Major isn’t the only one to make the news for having curry on his face.
Gary, nice one, I’ve never seen that site before, but it’s now bookmarked. Brilliant! Did anyone read the Countryside Diary? 
No need to bother with the secondhand reports or with extracts, China Guy. You can find the first instalment of the serialisation in its entirety on the Times website.
It’s always the nice ones, isn’t.
From her account:

Then B (her codename for Mr Major) came along and he was so attractive and so quiet in public that it was a challenge to unearth the real person, and to seduce him – easy!**
Sometimes there are archeological digs where you don’t find anything…

yes, but can you imagine their faces contorted in the throes of sexual ecstasy?

Just read the first entry. She put on 101/2 stone and accused her husband of being fat ???!
As for the literary style, well, I guess they weren’t written with publication in mind …
It’s all too unpleasant. Just imagine …
[JM] TAKE IT, BITCH, ALL OF IT. YESSS. [/JM]

All that Tory party condemnation of the ease wityh which divorces can be obtained, the denigration of that cause of all the evils in UK society - the single mum, the divorced parent.
Seems to me that some Tories value each others families far more than maybe they should.
“Ohh I saaay, I’ve just come round to borrow the three line whip and a cup of sugar, oh you do have a lovely seat Edwina”
I posted about this at Fathom…well I posted about my reaction to the press coverage
Those British parliamentary terms make it sound even kinkier…well to us 'Merkins.
How many times have the name “John Major” and the word “passion” appeared in the same sentence before…? 
Dear god, that’s a terrible duo of images. But weren’t you more disturbed when she leaned in for the kiss with Mickie? It made me want to cry with the pain inflicted on my mind for having seen it. (although yesterday, I actually had to run away from the screen during David Brent’s welcome speech in The Office. Why do we call this comedy? Why do we keep going back for more?)
I have to say, I laughed my head off when I heard about Major’s affair. John Major? And Edwina Currie? It’s a deliciously vile image.
Bet she shags like a lioness.
Ever eager to plumb new depths in journalism, the Sport claims to have pictures of Major and Currie in action. The one on the front page showed that a) Edwina Currie has the body of an eighteen-year-old and b) her head is about five sizes too big for it. More Photoshop training needed, boys.
LoG
“is is because i is dressed like a lady pauline?”
“no mickey love”
my flesh crawls at the memory…
and as for John Major’s voice…
can you IMAGINE him talking dirty?
yuck.
i think i need a shower
I’m still bemused by Edwina’s motivation’s to reveal all now. Of course, I don’t have a clue but that not going to stop me being spouting gender drivel…
What got me thinking along these lines was a recent thread somewhere’s here abouts (maybe IMHO), in which a guy was talking about what he should do with the knickers girlies had left with him post-coitus.
I’ve experienced this myself. In fact, amongst other bits and bobs, I’m the proud possessor of three summer dresses – I’ve got my fingers crossed that I don’t suffer a sudden demise at the hands of an overly stressed London Transport employee before the ownership of these items is resolved and I can bin 'em. Mother would never understand.
Women do leave things around…in the short-term, it’s a scent. Sometimes it’s a small piece of jewellery. If they’re from overseas, it can be clothes. Surely this has got to do with marking the territory. Hasn’t it ?
Now Edwina isn’t happy that no one knows of her affair – IMHO, more than anything else (more than, say, money) she wants the world to know. She’s still fond of him and wants to be associated with him for ‘posterity’ – in effect she’s taking ownership of some of the ‘John Major PM’ story away from Norma: Part of who he will be in the eyes of the public is now ‘owned’ or ‘possessed’ by Edwina – she has a part of him (part of the public him because she can’t get anything else).
Is this the same as ‘marking the territory’…is it related…I have no bloody idea. But now some of our ladies have crept by, perhaps one of them would rise to the bait ?
What Edwina’s doing is certainly emotionally driven…Ladies, what’s going on with her. Why would she hurt both Major and his wife – and presumably others - 14 years later. Is it a ‘for posterity’ territorial thing ?
It bemuses the hell out of me, too.
Dunno about a gender thing, though. It strikes me as a petty thing. Maybe it’s an emotional territory thing for her, after all she said that she loved him. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just about a desire to be talked about. Maybe it’s about a desire to sell a metric fuck-ton of one’s autobiography.
I have always looked down on those who kiss and tell. It’s just… non si fa. You don’t do it. Personally, if I’d shagged someone famous, I’d never tell, because I wouldn’t want anyone else to know. I wouldn’t want my private life dragged through the papers. Once you kiss and tell, you become a target yourself, by association - at least that’s how I see it.
That paragon of probity, David Mellor is quite clear in expressing his views: Edwina Currie is hard up, by her standards, and wants the money. Of course, Mellor’s motivations seem, to me, to be quite clear - he got caught, she didn’t; sour grapes. (The article’s a nice piece of invective, I must say; Mellor has raided his Roget and his Oxford Dictionary of Quotations for it… though how he can claim somebody else is “seeing Caliban’s face in the glass” is beyond me.)
(Incidentally… the identity of one of Currie’s partners at the time in question has yet to be disclosed, but he is, apparently, a “slob”, with “kinky preferences”. So I’d just like to state, for the record, here and now, that I’ve never even met the woman.)
Still a bit confused on the feminine motivation but won’t it always be thus. Just wanted to pull a couple of quotes from the article to which Steve linked…Am I living in some Parliamentary version of ‘The Office’ :
*“Peter Clarke revealed himself as one of the former health secretary’s three secret lovers during the Eighties.
He claimed she seduced him with the line “Would you like to come and see my Peak District?” - a reference to her constituency in Derbyshire”
<snip>
Claiming they once had sex in Mr Major’s office at the House of Commons, Mr Clarke told the Daily Mirror: “She was quite athletic. I just closed my eyes and thought of Scotland.”*
And on the leading Swordsman himself: *" She writes in her diary: “I wish my flat was filled with one big man in his blue underpants; I wish I was warm and sticky and laughing … I haven’t been drinking but I’m deep in the black hole tonight and there is no one else in here with me.” * – I’m not bloody surprised. Bunny boiler, anyone ?
Put that together with the headline of the day: ‘Mellor: Edwina’s a cheap trollop’,and I wonder if the news can possibly get any stranger.
I did hear Edwina was to be on Radio5 Live this morning but it was a little to early to be decent. Did anyone else catch the interview. I’m sure she was terribly indignant… ?
Anyway, all in all, superb entertainment; Sad, embarrassing, absurd, incomprehensible. Just utterly fascinating…
BTW, in the spirit of Gary’s excellent link to Hansard (caused me to chuckle repeatedly), I chanced across this is someone’s Weblog and found it amusing. Thought I’d pas it on:
Will Self rants about the Countryside March … ‘Yes, Countryside
Alliance, you’re the Tories who can’t stand the free market; you’re the libertarians who can’t handle homosexual rights or decriminalising drugs; you’re the defenders of Fortress Britain who get bankrolled by Brussels. You aren’t old MacDonald - you’re bloody senile.’
Superb rant. I can just see him actually doing it !

I think she needs to get over herself. It all seems to me as a mixture between PR for the book and a feeling of self-importance.
