There you have it. Of all the phrases to stumble over at PMQ's, Gordon Brown managed it when trying to say "We not only saved the world..... [Hon members: Uprorious laughter] We not only saved the world's banking system..."
Sometimes, those Parliamentary sketches just write themselves!

Maybe Brown's gaffe is a Freudian slip (he really believes he's saved the world) as the lyrics from Bon Jovi's "Save the World" highlight:
I got to confess
Sometimes I’m a mess
And sometimes I step out of line
Like this old tattoo
I ain’t shiny or new
With you by my side nothing matters

Well done for not choosing Livin' on a Prayer :-)
Certainly, right now it's a case of Wild Is the Wind, and it's Bad Medicine we're getting right enough. Just a shame we'll be living with the consequences for the Next 100 Years...
Any more? :-)
