No more work for the next three weeks, I can sit around on my backside eating Doritos and bacon sandwiches and watching terrible sequals (From Dusk Till Dawn II - don't do it) until the cows come home.

The Mail was so incensed, it printed a full transcript of the answerphone prankery under the heading "Lest We Forget" - and helpfully included outtakes that weren't even broadcast, so its readers could be enraged by things no one had heard in the first place.

But Kabir's plan is complicated after he gawps at Sonia's trashily displayed cleavage and falls in love with her, and also after Raina hires a top-notch private detective to help catch him. The detective fits a few cameras in the garden, and tells him he's also had caller ID installed on the phone. Raina nods with satisfaction knowing that India's ( Read more... ) -
