Murder In Bloggerland

Record Audience Ratings For Alisher (Doberman) Usmanov Thanks To Schillings PR Campaign – Link to new post.

Usmanov already wielding influence at Arsenal – Link to new post.

Following legal action by Schillings, lawyers for Alisher Usmanov, Bloggerheads, The UK Today and the blogs of London mayoral candidate Boris Johnson, Craig Murray and Bob Piper have all been removed by their webhost.

Previously called Half A Schixpence when it’s only celebrity client was entertainer, Tommy Steele, Schillings now has an impressive client list of famous personalities including the sylph-like Coleen McLoughlin, the sylph-like Keira Knightley, the sylph-like Danielle Lloyd, the sylph-like Britney Spears, the sylph-like Kate Winslet, the sylph-like Kelly Brook and the sylph-like Cameron Diaz.

There is no truth in the rumour that the nature of Usmanov’s complaint was in any way related to any form of eating disorder.

An interesting take on the situation here.

For the Polonium-aware, Tom’s Gadgets are selling Giger counters at £119.99. They are very compact and can be easily concealed from your dining companions.

More information on the story and list of blogs carrying it here and here.

If there are any speed-readers out there, could they point me to the relevant pages in “Murder in Samarkand” to save me going through the whole thing again to find the relevant bit. Y’know, the bit about hard-working people who made lots of money. Not the bit about convicted gangsters, obviously.

Are Schillings the Hello! of lawyers? Or considering their less salubrious blog molesting client more a ‘Heat’ crossed with ‘Take a Break’.
