Guess who?

Unlike Tony Blair, he lacks charm; he is not one of the beautiful people; his Scottish accent grates on many English ears; he resents being depicted as fat by cartoonists; he comes across as cold and even unnatural – his jaw seems to detach itself in a strange manner when he inhales while speaking.

As I read this (taken from this Foreign Policy article), I started to pity Gordon Brown. And by the last one - the thing about his jaw - the writer degenerates beyond mere character assassination and plumbs the depths of death-by-thousand-cuts. Owtch.

ouch haha poor guy! the scottish accent isn't all that bad though, i quite like it! although it can be quite undecipherable depending on which part of scotland the person comes from exactly..

speaking of which i actually used the word "wee" in a project meeting today!! not even on purpose, it just slipped in lol.
