Maybbe he'll do a runner during that time.

My only friend through teenage nights,
And everything I had to know, I heard it on my radio'
Re: Conrad Black jailed
Aren't they civilised to former big wigs? Report in 12 weeks time? Boy if that were thee and me we would be cooling our heels in the pokey already.
That poor wife of Mr Black - Amiel - Amiel - my kingdom for Amiel!
It would take a man with a heart of stone not to laugh out loud!
Re: Conrad Black jailed
I heard him interviewed on Radio Four a couple of weeks ago and he sounded quite bullish about his chances of getting off - you'd swear he'd done nothing wrong and it was all some kind of conspiracy.
Good luck to him - I doubt he'll have that hard a time inside and I'm sure he's got something tucked away for when he comes out. He won't have to spend much for the next six years anyway!
