The best laid schemes o' mice and men

After the hulla-balloo last week over the release of megrahi, . . then the denials of a "trade deal", . . then the revelation that two years ago there WAS an oil deal in the offing, it has come to pass that victims of the IRA bombing campaign are to sue Gadaffi for compensation because the Semtex was supplied by Libya.

Bang goes another 10 million barrels of oil, pardon the pun "bang".

The guys in downing street must be tearing their hair out anyone know a good wig maker.
