I like to think I am reasonably well informed; I could name every UK Prime Minister since 1900 and each US President since about 1920, and I reckon I could bag 100 of the 245 countries in the world on a world map. I could make a reasonable impromptu minute-speech on feck all notice on a breadth of subjects and I'd recognise the President of Iran if he came into my local for a game of darts. All that said I had not heard of Ingrid Betancourt until this week but I had heard of FARC.
I think this is a top story with a bit of decency and hope whilst the rest of the world talks its way into economic gloom.
This woman has dignity and gravitas and if I had been chained up in the Colombian jungle for six years I don't think I'd be quite that measured and composed. Smart stuff. And she's not un-attractive.
Impressed.

"Ingrid Betancourt" would make a great name for a rock band.
Hi there - I reckon there's a better name to be had out of mixing up all the letters, and therefore a cool subliminal nod to said lady, hey?
i see where your going. but how about "The Ingrid Betancourt Experience" as another option?
Or Mother F.A.R.C.er?!
