Here are ten of the funniest insults from TV’s Simon ‘Mr Nasty’ Cowell.
1. Simon: “What normally happens when you sing in public, Deborah?”
Deborah: “I’ve had a few people cry.”
Simon: “I can believe that.”
2.”You have just invented a new form of torture.”
3. “What do you think we are looking for – a two-year-old who can’t sing?”
4. “You have the personality of a handle.”
5. “You sounded like Cher after she’s been to the dentist.”
6. “If you had lived 2,000 years ago and sung like that, I think they would have stoned you.”
7. “The look, it was like something out of the Addams Family.”
8. “I’m tempted to ask if you sang that the night before your wife left you.”
9. “Can I ask you a question? Do you and your girlfriend sing together at home? Have the police ever called?”
10. “I presume there was no mirror in your dressing room tonight.”

Solomon Ukpabi, a student, who was caught with cocaine worth about £1m in his bag at Aberdeen Airport has been jailed for six years.
Six years? Is that it? First offender or not - make it sixty years, that sounds about right. Maybe if we in the UK took a page out of other countries books when it comes to punishing drug couriers and dealers then perhaps we would have far fewer “first offenders”!!
Six years, WHAT A JOKE!
Here is a summary of how other countries deal with people like Solomon Ukpabi
Cyprus - has a strictly enforced zero tolerance policy towards drugs. Being caught in possession of any type of narcotic will usually lead to a prison sentence or a hefty fine.
Spain - possession of all recreational drugs is illegal and even the possession of small quantities can lead to imprisonment.
Greece - possession of even small quantities of drugs can lead to long terms of imprisonment.
Tunisia - possession of even a small amount of ‘soft’ drugs could result in a prison term.
Jamaica – severe penalties for all drug offences, including those involving ganja. Possession of even small quantities of illegal drugs can lead to imprisonment. All sentences are served in Jamaica, prison conditions are harsh.
Venezuela – arrests for drug trafficking are common and convictions lead to severe penalties, including long delays being held on remand prior to sentencing and lengthy prison sentences (usually ten years) in harsh and dangerous conditions in Venezuelan jails.
The final selection are my favoured choice.
Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Iran can impose the death sentence for some drugs charges.
