On Pesto
There was a time when Paxo was instant stuffing and Pesto was an Italian sauce, usually involving basil. Now, of course, Paxo is the alarmingly languid Newsnight anchor and Pesto is the Business Editor of the BBC, possessor of a troublingly fixed gaze. Some say he has lately become pure energy. Pesto has taken over from Paxo in our imaginations. He is now the national emblem of the end of the world. He also has a blog which, yesterday, sent bank shares though the floor. He works very hard so he must be middle class. But what do we make of Pesto? I am undecided.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Bought Hbos yesterday afternoon, sold this morning, I think the bloke is great, completly out of control but hey I have not earned this much in months.
ReplyDeleteI can't take much more of this. For all those in the same boat, can I draw your attention to an eye-catching article in today's Daily Telegraph entitled "George Clooney grows a moustache".
ReplyDeletePoor George, looking more than ever like his auntie Rosemary. Solaris was good.
ReplyDeleteYes, Pesto writes about bankers by day. But by night their wives may well besiege him, waving cheques and cooing, as they are about the only people who can still afford to work as editors in London book publishing. So whatever happens next, I guess that Pesto will surely ride again in the 2009 bestseller lists.

ReplyDeletePeston is, quite simply, a menace.
ReplyDeleteI like him, he's fun. He's a dual persona; when he presents information he's full and gibbous as a sail, but when he's asked for comment, he's like a torn canvas flapping in the wind - it's like he's asked Jimmy Saville to fix it for him to answer financial questions on the roller-coaster.
