SPOT THE TYPO - "Tony Blair is a Banker"


With that at home, wouldn't you go out and get a job?



Phew!! Don't know about you but I'm really relieved - Tony Blair has got another job at last!
He's joined investment bank J P Morgan at a salary of £500,000-a-year for about one afternoon's work every six months as a......as a.......a.......well, as a former Prime Minister. Funny, I didn't see that one advertised in the Guardian - "Wanted - Rabid, Self-Serving, Insincere, Judas-Admiring, Greedy Capitalist Former British Prime Minister With Absolutely No Morals or Sense of Shame to Do Fuck All for Neo-Nazi Financial Institution Other Than Agree To Have His Name Put Alongside Those of the Other Fat Cat Directors on Letterheads and on the Office Nameplate." It must have been in the "personals".
Anyway, I had been getting really worried about Tone. I mean, apart from that holiday job going around the Middle East telling everyone to play nicely and forget that he and his illiterate, drunken, unicellular, Texan twat chum fucked the place up beyond recognition by bombing the shit out of Iraq and leaving the region on the verge of anarchy, the boy's been out of work for a while.
I pictured him lounging around all day, eating delivery pizzas and drinking blue pop while watching Trisha and then playing snooker in the evenings before hanging around his local shopping precinct, sniffing Evostick and taunting Asian shopkeepers.
You've gotta admit, he's done well. It just shows that if you get up off your arse and get on your bike to go to look for work, it's out there! Ok, it's only a part-time job, but it's a start.
Well done Tony! You've done everything the state demands of you - except die horribly in a car crash!!

Nice one Reg, well observed. Although I have to be honest and say the bit of this that really made laugh was the "labels" at the bottom. Top hole.

Well, would the typo be the "B" in the word banker? Maybe it should be a "W"?

I'm not British, but I think that's a word you guys invented.

I just looked it up on "dictionary.com" and yep...I think that one will work!

P.S. Reg, thanks for the great critique, you made my day!!

"Texan twat chum"
That is the best description I ever heard. I'm gonna remember that and try to use it often, but I'll give you credit, I swear.

I saw that tidbit about Blair on the new screen in the elevator at work today, and wondered the same thing...Prime minister = banking....what?

...you don't like him, do you Reg.

Absolutely spot-on, matey. It's astonishing to think the loathsome little creep was a member of the Labour Party in the late 70s - how did they ever let him in?

However, like Thatcher, don't you miss him a little. It's kind of hard to get angry at Gordon, just as it was at John Major; not the same kind of fun.

Blair is an arch cunt.

At least Thatcher disappeared to rant in private (in a straitjacket).

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!!

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.
