That was the headline in yesterday’s Daily Telegraph.

It seems that China’s official mouthpiece, the People’s Daily, is erecting a brand new HQ building. And as you’ll see from the photo even the least imaginative couldn’t fail to recognise the resemblance to a massive hard prick.

[Cue: Frankie Howerd]

It appears that this is all too much for the Chinese censors who have been working overtime to try to stop people sniggering to the rest of the world and viewing pictures online. I would really have thought that China should be proud of its erection!

This Saturday, 13 April, sees the 5th Annual Tweed Run through London.

It is a celebration of old fashioned values as up to 400 ladies and gentlemen cycle through central London in high fashion and on a range of antique velocipedes.

You need permission to cycle along with them – and all the tickets have been allocated. Although the exact route is not published in advance (why?) the following viewing points are suggested (times are approximate):

12:00 Marylebone High Street
12:30 Regent Street / Savile Row
13:00 Piccadilly Circus
13:30 Houses of Parliament
14:00 Trafalgar Square
