Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

Jennifer AnistonI do not know if the prime minister will win the next election but you are never going to see Gordon Brown regarded in the same way he was in his first 100 days.
In his first 100 days he seemed to be infallible, he was untouchable, he was gliding across the top of the waves. You are never going to see Gordon Brown reported in that fashion again.
Michael PortilloFashions fade, style is eternal.
