-Caveat Lector- Madonna reportedly fed up with English way of life January 6 2003
US pop star Madonna, who ascended into Britain's high society with her marriage to film director Guy Ritchie, said she is fed up with "everything that is English", according to a British press report. The 44-year-old vegetarian and yoga convert, thinks hunting game and deer is "barbaric", and so much so, that she will no longer tolerate 34-year-old husband Guy's involvement in the sport at their home in Wiltshire, south-west England. The deeper problem however, according to the Daily Mail, is that Madonna's love affair with the English way of life is coming to an end. "She hates the weather, the people, and above all hunting," the report said, and besides, Guy's hunting parties with his friends are too "buddyish" for her. Madonna, who was enthusiastic at first, fitted herself out from head-to-toe in traditional tweeds, a hunting cap and rubber boots but later told her husband why he should retreat from the sport. Her decision was made on the basis of protecting the "souls of the poor birds" who were being shot. But according to the Mail, Madonna only came to this realisation after her own shooting abilities proved to be a "total flop".
