As two of world's most powerful leaders - OK, one most powerful leader and one David 'just call me Ping' Cameron - joined forces in a show of global team-o-nomics and... er... played table tennis... the media whore that is the media, reported that they were turning the heat up on Colonel Gaddafi. The fact that they bombed his house then...

Guru was just pondering just what exactly it is that makes great leaders tick, when a rumble in his tummy alerted him to the fact it was time for an iced bun and a cup of java.

Former Countdown numbers queen and star-of-annoying-insurance-and-loan-ads Carol Vorderman has gone over to the dark side, sorry, joined forces with the Tories to head a maths taskforce. Vorders has accepted an offer from David Cameron (come on Dave, how much did it cost?) to assess whether school tests have got easier and if kids are being taught maths...
