The One That Is On Tenterhooks. . .

Lord Mandelson has been admitted to hospital to have an operation for a "benign condition of the prostate", a government spokesman has said.

I wish the Noble Lord a speedy recovery and hope that nothing goes horribly, tragically wrong.

[/sarcasm]

I think that's the first time I've ever seen the words Mandleson and benign in the same sentence.

UPDATE

A truly stunning bit of Daily Mashesque writing from Mac The Knife. Do go and read it. . .

One of the UK's best loved tumours has been admitted to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington for urgent surgery to remove a malignant First Secretary of State.

Typical. The first sign of growth we've seen and they take it out and stamp on it.

They should have stamped on it without removing it.
