I Sat on Saddam's Throne!
Not me but the Sun's Terry Richards:

I JOINED British troops yesterday as they stormed Saddam Hussein’s palace in Basra - and sat on the despot’s golden throne.

Wait for it...

The garish loo, painted in gold leaf, was in one of the 18 marble bathroom suites we found in the palace.

Everywhere you looked there was gold. The taps had tags proclaiming they were 24-carat gold. It even had a gold-plated loo brush.

It felt strange to perch there, imagining who may have sat in the same spot in the past.

Geez Terry, you should have called your Mom first before sitting on a strange loo! (See the post immediately below.)
