Get @theashes to The Ashes & The rude Duke of York

So this is hillarious.  A poor 22yr old American girl who happens to have had the twitter account @theashes since 2007 exploded in a rage when people kept asking her about The Ashes cricket tests currently being played.  At one point exclaiming "I AM NOT A FREAKING CRICKET MATCH!!!"  She has since become an instant Twitter celebrity now with the meme #gettheashestotheashes gaining enough momentum for Qantas & Vodafone to want to pay for her to see a game herself in Australia.  Apparently shes seriously considering it.. all through the power of social media!

So Prince Andrew verges on being quite rude & candid, he's allowed surely?  Although it is interesting to have an insight into what he thinks about other countries and policies.  So comes the latest scandal to flow out of Wikileaks Cablegate.  He's apparently been caught claiming "..the Americans don't understand geography. Never have. In the UK we have the best geography teachers in the world"  I'm sure there are plenty more gems to be found amongst these Cables still to come !
