London, January 13 : Emma Thompson has revealed that she knew what Madonna meant when the latter publicly called her former hubby Guy Ritchie as "emotionally retarded", since she faced similar troubles with her actor-spouse, Greg Wise.

The Oscar-winning actress confessed that she initially had been taken aback by Madonna's swipe at Guy in front of thousands of fans at a Boston gig.

However, the Brit comedian admitted her fellow artist did strike a familiar chord on her views about British men.

"I felt very badly for British men when she said that," the Daily Star quoted her as saying.

London, Jan 13 : Brit actress Emma Thompson has joined forces with comedian Alastair McGowan and Greenpeace to buy an area of land which is the proposed site for a third runway at Heathrow.

Thompson, McGowan, the environmental group and millionaire Tory Zac Goldsmith bought the football pitch-sized land at the end of last week for an undisclosed price.

BAA, the owner of Heathrow, has been looking into the expansion of the runway onto the land, and if it gets the go ahead, the Government could make a compulsory purchase.

But Greenpeace has vowed to fight any attempt to buy the land and point to years of experience and legal clout, and has invited members of the public to join in the purchase of the land.

“I’ve done a course at Berry Bros and Rudd as a sommelier. So I’m now qualified to serve wine,” the Daily Express quoted her as proudly saying.
