[The following, possibly apocryphal story appeared in this morning's
(28/03/91) Glasgow Herald.]

Lord George Brown, when the band struck up at an embassy function,
asked: "Beatiful lady in scarlet, will you walt with me?"

"Certainly not," was the reply.  "First, you are drunk.  Secondly, it
is not a waltz, but the Venezualian national anthem; and thirdly I am
not a beautiful lady in scarlet, but the papal nuncio."
