He had an utterly hilarious story about Tony Blair giving a wee Northern Irish lass a plaque with "Green Fields of France" on it (made even more hilarious by the fact that he said it was his favourite anti-war poem and...well, sounds like he didn't quite get its message) and the paper reporting it as being by "Eric Bogle, who died in WWI." His aunt Ivy wrote letters correcting both the Times and Blair. The latter letter said something to the effect of: "Next time, get it right. Dickhead."
I wonder how healthy it is to stick to the "no sex before marriage" thing. It seems as though pre-Victorian eras didn't have such a rigid definition of what "sex" entailed, which no doubt made it easier, but even so, I'm not sure how it works without the Catholic option of confession and forgiveness.
