The World's Meanest Obituary
Apparently, not too many people are mourning the passing of Lord Michael Pratt.
"Lord Michael Pratt, who has died aged 61, will be remembered as one of the last Wodehouseian figures to inhabit London's clubland and as a much travelled author who pined for the days of Empire; he will also be remembered as an unabashed snob and social interloper on a grand scale."
And that was the nicest thing they said - read the whole thing.
"He was sent to Eton, having already acquired the rotund shape that would stay with him for the rest of his life."
Ouch.
