And in other news today, ...

[Dave Korn]

... a man admitted in court that he had thrown eggs at Education Secretary,
Ruth Kelly, and plead guilty to one charge of "common assault by beating"[*].


  Presumably if he'd thrown flour as well, the charge would have been battery?



    cheers,

[*] - Although initial police reports of the affair claimed that the egg had
"fallen down stairs".
