HABS

WAGS have all gone home.

SWAGS have gone home too (see above gathering of G8 Summit Wives and Girlfriends). They lined up happily in Leningrad /St Petersburg for the photo. Bet you haven’t seen trizersuits and two pieces like that since C&A closed down.

But what about HABS (husbands and boyfriends)?

Angela is an unusual name for a German Chancellor. Ms. Merkel’s husband Joachim Sauer (Chemistry Professor) defiantly stayed at home. He agreed to be interviewed on any topic as long as it was Quantum chemistry.

Dennis Thatcher is not his role model.

So how do women cope without their very own H or B to follow them around and pose for photo opportunities?

Some are gay (Navratilova, Mauresmo). Some have a consort manager like the recently impregnated Paula Radcliffe. Kelly Holmes seems to be superbly single.

‘Sauer’ means 'acid' in German - great name for a Chemist eh ?
