Another one!

People that user lol all the bloody time

yechydda,

Happy St George’s Day, VBA. There’s a minor celebration in London, and we have the day off (OK, it’s Saturday.)

These Creationists seem to be getting to you lately. Are you coming into contact with many? Maybe US School Bibles should contain disclaimers?

Agree with a lot of your list, but election clichés also spring to mind over here… along with the slogans. Are you thinking what we’re thinking?

Have you heard anything about this new Ratzinger? I didn’t see it on the menu at my local KFC, but it sounds unpalatable. Don’t suppose it last long.

Another thing I hate is when you make a mistake at the end of a message, but don’t notice it until just after you sent it. Damn!

This comes from the liosk that sells cell phones:

"Sir, can I ask you a question?"
Dude, you just did.

Mr X

RTB,

Long time no hear! How's stuff? I'm mercifully protected from the British election, it hardly comes up even on BBC world, unlike the American election last autumn which was covered on every damned channel there was going. That sham was enough to put me off politics for life and I gather that the mud slinging is going on in the UK too.

So no slogans!

I love the idea of putting a disclaimer on the bible - remember the red dwarf episode where they find the first age of the bible?

Who gives a ratsingers arse about the new pope?

And you and KFC? I'm going to give PETA your address and they'll do you in for being cruel to animals.

Take care!

Mr.X,

I bet sales people hear a lot of daft stuff like that! Know any more?

lol x 100

VBA,
But I couldn’t find the Ratzinger at KFC. And they didn’t have the Ratzenberger at MacDonald’s. The similar names make it confusing. I thought Cliff from Cheers had become Pope. Pope Cliff, now that title has the right sound to it.
The Tories’ slogan is “Are you thinking what we’re thinking?” Its origin isn’t clear: it’s either from the French National Front; or an Australian kids’ TV programme called Bananas in Pyjamas. Good to know that they’ve got such a global outlook.
I originally thought it was just a way of simplifying voting. Think of a number. If they get it right you vote for them.
In The History of the World Part 1, it’s revealed that Moses dropped one of the 3 tablets just after announcing, “God has given me these 15 Commandments…”
Bee & I celebrated our 1st anniversary yesterday by having a meal @ The Blue Elephant. How are things with you?

RTB

RTB,

Happy anniversary! Blue Elephant, Chelsea, noice decor shame about the prices! Better food from a street vendor in BK for about 20p!

I've actually seen bananas in pyjamas while I was in Oz - quite bizarre!

I hope that the LD's will roast Blair over the latest leaks, but somehow I can't see it, with the Tories committig Hari-Kiri on an almost daily basis for the last 8 years you'd think by now that the LDs would be strongly pushing for the No.2 spot but no, Kennedy is totally ineffectual if you ask me. Well, go on ask me...Ah, well I think Kennedy's totally ineffectual thanks for asking.

Things are fine, I've got bored of travelling believe it or not, spent the last 3 months in Saigon with my (then) girlfriend Thi. I'm heading slowly back to Thailand where I'll stop still and teach for a while before figuring out what to do next.

Seeen anything of Karl lately?

yechydda,

VBA

VBA,
Thanks. The food may be cheaper in BK, but the return fare might have a little more than our budget allowed…. And we’d have to get over the jet lag. Never mind, it was a special occasion. We have only 2 anniversaries per year.
The Grrrrr-factor is high during election campaigns (I hadn’t forgotten the theme). Blair said, “I will not take election victory as a vindication of the war.” Right, so we can just forget about it, eh?
And Howard’s approach is to tell us that Blair lied to him about it. Y’know, probably told him that it was sanctioned by the UN, would only last a couple of weeks, Saddam had the Doomsday device, and it’s just a bit of a lark really.
You have to feel sorry for him for being so gullible… & not having a chance to read the newspapers. Obviously, a Tory government would have told Bush to sod off! Howard declared, “When Tony Blair said he had not lied, he was not telling the truth.” Is everything beginning to make sense now, or do you need a drink? Actually, he’s explained that they would have still gone to war because… Oh, I dunno! Maybe I should rent a Bananas in Pyjamas DVD?
I don’t have much enthusiasm for Charlie. He fell asleep during one of his own press conferences, so how do you think the audience felt? But I have plenty of incentive to vote against Blair, not that it matters because he’s already admitted that it’ll be decided by a few hundred votes in the marginals. Then why bother the rest of us? At least John Prescott has provided some entertainment again. You can rely on him! (Details later.)
Your last girlfriend was in Saigon. Where’s the current one, or the next?
Spoken to Karl a few times, but haven’t seen many people. All wrapped up in revision right now. Will you e-mail him every time Wales win a Rugby competition?

Here’s a report about John Prescott, so at least someone’s keeping us entertained:

Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott "blew his top" when questioned by a local reporter, a newspaper claims.
He told the journalist to "bugger off" and "Get on your bus, you amateur," the South Wales Argus reported.
Opposition parties criticised him, with a Tory candidate accusing him of "foul-mouthed, yobbish behaviour".
A spokeswoman for Mr Prescott said the journalist's approach was unreasonable and unprofessional. But the newspaper said that was "absolute nonsense."
The Argus said its reporter, Mark Choueke, clashed with Mr Prescott when the deputy PM was visiting a school in Cwmbran.
The journalist asked Mr Prescott about Peter Law - a Welsh assembly member who has just left the Labour Party to stand as an independent in the general election in his constituency of Blaenau Gwent.
The Argus said its reporter asked Mr Prescott as he walked back to his election bus from Croesyceiliog comprehensive how his cabinet colleagues reacted to Mr Law's decision.
It reported the exchange as follows:
John Prescott: It didn't even register with us. The voters just have one choice, vote Labour otherwise they'll end up with a Tory government. It's unfortunate that some of our decisions upset some people.
Mark Choueke: But this isn't about upsetting Peter Law, it's about upsetting the many thousands of Labour voters in Blaenau Gwent who helped you form a strong government - they feel alienated.
JP: Why are you asking me about this, I don't care, it's a Welsh situation, I'm a national politician.
MC: Are you too big to care about the Labour voters in Blaenau Gwent? Do you think there may be something in your party's methods of working that require a rethink when a politician chooses to stand against you after 35 years service to Labour?
JP: (walking away) Where do they get these amateurs from? You're an amateur mate, go get on your bus, go home.
MC: Are you too big for the regional press now John?
JP: Bugger off - get on your bus, you amateur.
MC: (following Mr Prescott) Is my interview over John? Because if that's all you've got to say, that's what will go in the paper.
JP: (turns back to reporter) - Ooohh, I'm scared, go ahead, put it in your paper.
Huw Edwards (Monmouth Labour candidate): "I could answer this question for you, Mark...
MC : I hoped to hear what the deputy prime minister had to say about it.
JP: (ignoring reporter) I've never seen a school in such a lovely setting.
Mr Prescott's spokeswoman said that he had already answered questions about Mr Law earlier.
She said: "In this particular situation the approach was quite unreasonable and quite unprofessional. There was just one question and the reporter kept going back and back on it."
Referring to Mr Prescott's "I don't care" remark, the spokeswoman said that had to be put in context.
She said: "Mr Prescott is not indifferent to this matter at all. He had answered questions quite repeatedly. The journalist was being quite arrogant and unreasonable about it."
Mark Templeton, news editor of the South Wales Argus, commented: "That is just absolute nonsense."
Monmouth Conservative candidate David Davies said: "The Labour Party must give an assurance that they must not send any more foul-mouthed politicians into the constituency for the rest of the campaign.
"We want a clean, fair fight in Monmouth and not the sort of yobbish behaviour the Conservative Party is trying to combat."
Mike German, leader of the Liberal Democrats in the assembly, said: "John Prescott clearly shows disdain for Labour voters.
"People of the south Wales valleys have been taken for granted for years and are now fed up with Labour. This is just another example of Labour treating them with contempt".
A Plaid Cymru spokesman described it as "typical New Labour arrogance".
"When it comes to Wales John Prescott always makes a big impact but unfortunately it's for all the wrong reasons. It is clear from his comments that Wales doesn't register on his radar."
