It's Tuesday afternoon on yet another freezing cold day, and as I sit and scour the headlines on my laptop hoping to find some juicy titbits of gossip to get my teeth into, the PM's misery is once more splattered all across the news reports in every direction. Poor old Gordon - with bullying allegations and treachery in the ranks once again, it's not been a good week - no wonder he looks so miserable.
But let's be honest - on the grand scale of one to ten - how serious is this? Is it not just possible that we, as a nation, might just be er... over-reacting ever so slightly? After all, we've all got our faults.
But seriously, during a week which has seen politicians squirming in their seats and celebrities dumping their philandering husbands right left and centre, what better time than now to reflect on how bad we are as a nation on the whole. Whether we're plagued with idleness, lustful thoughts, or just plain greed, all of us are sinners in one form or another.
In a recent study which included separate categories for lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride, the most sinful nations of the world were revealed.
The results showed that whilst the US topped the table for gluttony, South Africa came first for wrath, South Korea was at the top for lust and Mexico scored the highest in the greed category. Meanwhile, Iceland was top of the league for pride and being bone idle, and Australia scored the highest for envy. The good news, however, is the fact that Britain failed to come top in any of the seven categories, and it was given a very respectable sixth place overall.
So who IS the most sinful country of all?
Answer: The country that was ranked first overall in the study of the seven deadly sins which included - and let's just gloat for a moment whilst we remind ourselves again - lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and last but by no means least - pride, yes folks, you've guessed it - Australia.
It's official - the Aussies are the most sinful nation in the world! (Something which might be worth considering next time you're thinking of heading down under!!).
