Where exactly IS Tony Blair?
It's NOT just missing Robin's funeral. But he's ALSO missed VJ Day at the Cenotaph today...and when it was the anniversary of VE Day at the Cenotaph, Bambi was at Chequers and yet he REFUSED to travel to the Cenotaph, just a mere wee trip from Buckinghamshire.

Can the fucker get anymore disrespectful? We pay his bloody wages, we employ him to be in Britain, not messing about thousands of miles away.

3. Funny you should mention that...
Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 04:43 PM by ...of J.Temperance
...but Jeff Gannon, remember one of his diary entries:

"Spent the evening entertaining the British Prime Minister."

E..N..T..E..R..T..A..I..N..I..N..G.

Oh yeah ;)

2. Maybe he's with Bush
helping to clear the brush? :eyes:

At least Blair has spent more time at 10 Downing St, than Bush has at the White House.

5. Ha!
I HAD thought of this possibility!

Bush has spent something like HALF of the time at the hog farm, I think.

7. Officially
He's down as being in Barbados. But I had thought he COULD be in Crawford. Maybe Camp Casey could set up "Poodle Watch" or "Spot The Poodle"

HECK! }(

When in doubt grab a Steve Bell cartoon.

edit: when I say "when in doubt", I don't mean I doubted you were kidding, just a phrase. Blimey your hard work! (kidding) :hi:

14. Aw
:)

Here's another Steve Bell. The context is that Bush was wearing a device so that one of his Brain People could tell him what to say. So Bell does the wind-up Monkey trick.



I'm hard work :blush:

17. Just for you
A Steve Bell cartoon with a bird in it. I couldn't find one with cute little finches I'm afraid, too much like hard work (haha made you blush)...

Stevie's da man, he always gets it SO right. Like this little gem of Blair-Thatcher or Blatcher.

20. I already know
Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 08:04 PM by lockdown
you're a big fan of Robert 'Man Tan' Kilroy-Silk, as you so affectionately call him, now there's a man who can make anyone blush.



Maybe Blatcher is ensconced on Orange Island, plotting for the day Labour desert him... they won't know what's hit them on that day, when he turns around, unveils NEW VERITAS, and CACKLES as they SCATTER to the winds.

21. MAN TAN!!
Yep, that's him. Bambi's sometimes sporting man tan too, but he's got A LOT of work to do to catch up to the Daddy of man tan Kilroy. Kilroy's like the Seville orange, whereas Blair's still just a wee Kumquat.



Funny that, 'cos I DID vote Blair in the HOPE that I'll be getting Gordon...EVENTUALLY *sound of crickets chirping*

New Veritas I fear is poor old Tone's only hope.

22. My turn
to blush, you were away so long I thought you'd finally got fed up with me derailing your thread and making it pic-heavy. :blush: Oh no wait that's just Man Tan, phew.

I thought Blair was toast in early 2003, what with plagiarised intelligence dossiers cooked up in No. 10 and whatnot. Shows what I know. *more crickets*

23. Sorry
Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 09:43 PM by ...of J.Temperance
I'm watching 'Whisky Galore' on and off you see, you know the Ealing film by Alexander MacKendrick? Do you like films?

Well I'm also derailing my own thread, by making it pic heavy too ;)

How the heck is Blair hanging in? I mean, it's NOT like we've got rabid mediawhores propping him up like across the pond.

Have you noticed, we're a couple of the few who to and fro, look at this thread, most others pop here leave a comment and then run off some other place...I don't think they understand our humour :)

Edit. I actually wrote Alexander MacKendrink. Ha! Subconsciously I THINK I obviously must be thinking of my beloved Tequila :o

Earlier I WAS going to post a NEW thread entitled:

"I've just had 4 straight Tequila's...ask me ANYTHING"

I MIGHT do this tomorrow, after drinking 4 straight Tequila's and see what happens. Either a)it'll freak them thar American's out or b)I might get asked ANYTHING...obviously I won't be able to answer everything, such as my time as a top spook for MI6, but you know, there you go ;)

24. No, I'm sorry
Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 10:43 PM by lockdown
for keeping you from it. Get back to it, great film!

Blair, you've got me. I put the blame squarely on the PLP for being spineless and craven. More to it than that no doubt, but basically that's the gist of it. So many of them are just horrible bland clones, parliamentary rubber stamps and nothing more. With more still always being parachuted into constituencies. I have no hope in Labour at all nowadays... hopefully that will pass.

I don't normally to and fro myself, just been up for it with you in recent nights. Couldn't manage it every night though. Hee-hee. Look what you've done, coerced me into making loads of neat and orderly and British threads veer all over with messy conversation and stuff. Shame on you!

Humour (or at least my idea of it... I kill myself) keeps me sane, seriously. Hardly an original observation, but there it is. Hopefully others can put up with it. Though actually who cares. :D

MacKendrink, ha. Nothing subconscious about them thoughts I'll bet. Only 4 tequilas? Make it half a dozen and I'll give you some questions at least. }(

25. Aw
You little sugar plum :)

'Whisky Galore' is fab, MacKendrick also directed the original 'The Ladykillers' with Alec Guinness...I WAS OUTRAGED that they remade it with bloody Tom Hanks, which made it worse. I hate remakes of films I love. They're remaking 'The Wicker Man' now :( :evilfrown: :mad: :wtf: :argh: :grr: :nuke: :cry:

Robin Hardy's 'The Wicker Man' is in my TOP five film favourites.

The PLP are total arseholes. If they had an ounce of sense, they'd be able to see that Blair is DESTROYING The Labour Party.

Oh I don't mind messy conversation, you messy thing you!

I once drank 9 straight Tequila's, I kept standing too, gosh I must be made of the right stock you know.

I'm going to start a thread before I go to bed, just a single issue one mind, regarding Northern weather.

26. Shit
You only said that to get even on blushes didn't you! :blush: lol

Wicker Man, again great film. I once greatly annoyed some Cornish rugby fans by singing some song from it, and a swing to the left and a swing to the right or whatever in some pub. They didn't seem to appreciate it for some reason, don't know why, not like they were Scottish or anything. :D Well, I'm still here so they couldn't have been that annoyed.

Hopefully the conversations will get more messy, as more nocturnal drunks and neer-do-wells come and 'ave a go. Oh well, guess I better check that other thread before sleep, spammer. :D

27. The thread is titled:
"Is it raining in Newcastle (Bush cartoon enclosed)"

Yes, we're all :blush:

Those Cornish rugby fans...see they just don't appreciate such talent and humour :)

Yeah let's get more messy, we're lacking drunken Neds!

13. Blair thinks history started when he became Prime Minister
so why waste time hanging about remembering those has beens who gave their lives fighting the Nazis. Of course, our dear leader probably does not want people thinking about the Second World War too much, otherwise they might notice that his excuse for invading Iraq bears an uncanny resemblance to that used by Hitler for attacking Poland.

15. It's shocking
At how much Blair has become like Psycho Monkey. Bush is a Neo-Nazi for sure, I agree. He loves playing dress up, he's probably got an SS uniform stashed away at the hog farm.
