Apparently the number of the beast was miscalculated and is in fact 42....do we run for the hills now as well as give propitiatory offerings to the soul of Douglas Adams. Who would be the modern day counterpart to Nero? Russell Brand, Jonathon Ross and Cilla Black all spring to my mind...that is one picture I really do want to eradicate.Ughh!!
My vote after considering the above candidates would go to Tony Blair. Wars, discord, famines, distress and an acute sense of having been duped is the result of his time in office. It wouldn't go to Cameron who is a minor imp in the scheme of things. His job would be to polish the pitchforks or fetch coal alongside the other minions.Blair smiled and exuded goodwill as he lied and cheated you. If you caught him shagging your wife he would leave you demanding he carry on for the good of your marriage and the neighbours as you paid his cab fare home and threw in a free pizza with diet coke.
In the U.S. the highway agency renumbered Route 666. I think they got it wrong and the beastly highway is the A180. Noisy, full of rubbish and HGV's with the odd slow moving flat capped pensioner in a three wheeler. But is also officially the most boring stretch of road in the UK.* The ominous cracks one encounters occasionally opens up to belch forth sulphur and noxious fumes and a waiting demon to catch the unwary early morning commuter.





A180 road repairs.
