A Day Of Some Significance
All I’m saying is that my primary feeling today isn’t so much one of hope, as of relief. And I don’t care what side of politics you come down on, the man on his way out was a fucking baboon.
More on this over at the Toybox.
On a similar note, via Aint It Cool (I know, I know), the CBC are planning a reality show where former Prime Ministers judge individuals on whether they’d make good PMs. While I was hoping to rib chum Plok about this, it turns out the Beeb has already bought the remake rights off of them. Oh dear. I am half hoping S4C will nick the idea for the Assembly, but we’re not that far away from Rhodri’s retirement; it’s quite possible someone will take this seriously and the next First Minister will get in on a phone vote.
I assume this is one of those let’s-get-The-Kids-into-politics things, ignoring the fact that The Kids are busy wearing hoodies and knifing grannies for their iPhones. Or something. I lose track.

WHAT a stupid idea…

Sheesh, it’s a good thing Plok didn’t know about that particular reality show when he unleashed that scathingly accurate diatribe on them a few days ago… (it will have gone unread as it’s on my blog rather than his).

I might trust a Prime Minister to judge a pie-eating contest…

Would that be Schadenfreude pie?
Hi Holly, new commentators are always welcome round these parts.

Hello.
You left a nice comment on my blog and I’ve been meaning to return the favor. I’m afraid I’m not able to engage much with a lot of the content here (Andrew puts up with me despite my relative ignorance of comics) but I like to butt in where I can.
