Why Cherie Blair likes a blast of liquid nitrogen

Cherie Blair has spent an awful lot of money on 'New Age' crackpots peddling alternative therapies.

Over the years, I have to confess, I've wasted a bit of money on wacky therapies and gurus of one kind or another: psychics, clairvoyants, feng shui experts, reflexologists, herbalists, and the like. I've even telephoned an exorcism specialist who gets rid of ghosts if she knows your postcode. (I didn't think I actually had a ghost, but I wanted to check.)

But I can't hold a candle, or a crystal pendant, to Cherie Blair. I have no idea what she's spent on crackpots, but it must be a lot. Remember Jack Templeton, who said he could cure her swollen ankles by swinging a pendulum and feeding her a concoction of strawberry leaves?
