Ah, ah, ah, aaaaaah, Stayin' a Moslem, Stayin' a Moslem

Well, I've got the Christians afer me so, in for a penny..........
At the risk of sounding like Cyril Fletcher, I am indebted to a Mr Farmer of Much Drinking in the Marsh for this little item.
The leader of the Moslem Council of Britain, Muhammad Abdul Bari, is in the news today for claiming that the country is in danger of becoming like Nazi Germany in the '30s. Yeah, yeah, yeah, boring, boring, boring!
What is shocking and newsworthy, however, is the following:


Mr M A Bari.

Mr B Gibb (Reports of his death seemingly greatly exaggerated).





Admit it, you never see them together in the same room?

Mr Bari looks like The Cat in Red Dwarf after he's been de-"cool"ed by some alien creature. . .

(you have to have seen the episode for that to make sense)

. . .on the other hand, Barry Gibb looks like, and possibly is, an alien creature

and in the image you have chosen he also bears a somewhat scary resemblance to David Hasselhoff

Good grief! I smell a conspiracy.

I wonder if Mr Bari sounds like his balls are being squeezed in a vice when he sings.

That's definitely a wig, and he looks like he's sucking on a sherbet lemon.

Don't wory Reg. The only 'Christians' who'd be after you are the ones too busy chasing homosexual people out of church and poking their noses into women's reproductive habits to read a blog anyroad.
It's the Bee Gee Preservation and Appreciation Society I'd be afeared of.

Dear ILTV, Dyna Girl and Garfer,

Your points are all very valid, obviously, but don't you find both photos very revealing? For instance, we now know why Mr Bari has that "Durrr gee George" expression on his face - it's because he appears to have a scimitar stuck in his head.
As for Mr Gibb, no wonder he sang the way he did. You would if you were being attacked by a lesser-striped blue anaconda!

Barry Lawrence said...

Good point, Arabella. All you have to do is shout "Lion!!" and they're off like a rat up a drainpipe.
As for the BGPAS, I thought he was in prison?

sherbert lemons are possibly my favourite sweet

after strawberry bon-bons and liquorice pipes and space dust and spangles

I know it's not relevant. . .

. . .but then I do like Tunnocks Caramel Wafers too and those things made out of marshmallows covered in chocolate and rolled in shredded coconut (not a Tea Cake, but something similar without the biscuit base)

Barry Lawrence said...

ILTV,

Have you been on the sauce again? I have a feeling your comment was meant for Tunnock's Blog, not mine?

it's the teeth that give him away

Cadbury's fruit and nut is my favourite, sherbert lemons make the roof of my mouth sore. I like a lemon in my G&T though.

Barry Lawrence said...

Ziggi,

You won't be laughing when I'm in a home, belted into my jacket in that padded room muttering "They just kept going on about fucking sweets, nurse! I didn't understand!"

I used to like Aztecs. Of course they don't make them anymore. And what was wrong with the name Marathon? Why change it to Snicker?

This is the guy who did the Islamic fundamentalist version of the BeeGees’ Greatest Hits, wasn’t it? There were some real classics on there…

SHORTS DON'T MATTER! 1. From the greatest programme ever made about association football, Barnstoneworth United FC manager Mr Dainty delivers one of the finest English soliloqiues of all time.......and afterwards, spare a thought for the club steward's wife Vera (YOU ONLY HAVE TO WATCH HALF OF THE CLIP!!).

Not everyone who agonises over their life is a painter. Some of us agonise because we're NOT painters.

....And On the Subject of Great Public Services

I know most of you have heard this marvellous song by those doctors who are the Amateur Transplants......but I think the video is a nice addition. P.S. If there are kids in the room I'd shuffle them out before hitting play.

...There's More

On the subject of those great doctors, here is their version of More Than Words which presents their challenging views on women outside Watford. The very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither, coming from Cumbria, is a huge fan. Again, get those kids out of the room!

Leave Britney Alone, Ok!!!

Oh...........my............God!!!!! My heartfelt thanks go to BGT for this. I won't say much more, I don't need to. Mr Loony of Loonytown, USA (I think it's a bloke, anyway), says it all. I fear he may be wound too tight for.....well.....well for everywhere, really!

I wish I'd sung this! For non-Americans, and with apologies to all the smart arses out there who already knew, the FCC is the Federal Communications Commission and it monitors TV and radio output in the States - a sort of broadcast police - while the EPA is the Yanks' so-called Environmental Protection Agency, a body which does exactly the opposite of what it says on the can. (P.S. We went to the same school, you know? Eric and me, that is, not George, Martha, Dick and Condoleeza and me. I don't think they went to school.) P.P.S. Please see below if you are I Like The View, Malc or Doris.

To Make You Laugh and Cry

I was listening to this on a Sunday, the very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither is a Catholic, Tom Lehrer is one of my all-time heroes and this is one of his best.............no other reasons. On a more sombre note (and with thanks to Fish for coming up with this Woman's-Own-passes-the-time-in-the-dentist's-waiting-room nonsense), why not get a computer to tell you that you are a waste of space and your life is a sham of a mockery of a farce? Ok, it's from one of those poxy dating sites but...go on, take the test. You ain't got much to beat!!

I First Saw This When I Was Little - And Loved It! I Hope That Explains a Few Things

Fuck, Fuckety, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck

It has been pointed out to me that, particularly for one whose profession is supposedly literary, my language is getting worse. My use of the "F" word is, I am told, far too prevalent and hence loses impact. To those who share this view I suggest you watch the following:

Tony Blair Isn't a Burglar - But If He Was.........

In the spirit of Gustav Holst's Jupiter and Manfred Mann's Earth Band, I feel like raising a smile today. The Big Green Thing alerted me to this and, for no other reason than to raise a smile on an otherwise crap Wednesday, I think it has to be shared. Grantham shall not have him - when he gets out of prison.

Life On The Edge - No Net.

I was wrong when I feared it might be a dull weekend, what with my pals being away, my soon-to-be ex-wife in rehab and only the dogs to play with. How wrong can a man be? This much fun must surely be illegal? Just click to see the japes and hoots I am having! Click again to see how things got REALLy exciting! Tomorrow we're going to chase pigeons.

The Good Old U.S. of A. - Guardians of Freedom and Democracy. Nothing to Be Scared of, Then?
