As the GI's in Viet Nam used to have written on the back of their jackets:

"Kill 'em all. Let God sort it out."

That's American Politics for you. 'Shoot first, ask questions later'. Eli Wallach.

Baby Doll. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Born 1915, still alive and kickin today.

Kev

Can't we just bypass France?

Well, It's a bit like WW2 out there right now. If we want to persuade the government to act: apparently, according to Nick Clegg we have to lobby Europarliament first. So launch the landing craft, cross the channel, invade France and make your way to Belgium post haste.

Alternatively, if you prefer the instant loser strategy:

Just fill in a claim form for the whole trip and charge it to your expenses.

Juts heard the leader of the libdems, Nck Clegg, say a vote for them is a 'vote for hope'.

I look forward to the posters with the letters 'lessness' being added to that tagline.

I think you called me a loser Kevin. The last time I was called a chancer by a weird guy on this blog. Funny I think he was on acid too. I regard that as progress.

Jack, You are terminally unique. You never lose an opportunity to sell, and here's a big one, a party that always loses means they must change their strategy every time to ensure they keep that record up. A liberal cup of aphorisms / truisms / and malapropisms can only guarantee future success in the politics of losing. Get on the phone to party headquarters now Jack. Britain needs you.

Sounds to me as if everyone could do with some fresh aphorisms/truisms/malapropisms. Wonder where they could find them? I'm saying nothing after the insults I've had to take but I knew I'd come into my own.

We had an old art director at Saatchi who used to look at the work through his spectacles, screw his nose up, sigh, look us straight in the face through gritted teeth, and say: 'You know people who live in glass houses shouldn't roll stones'. Everyone would fall about laughing, and he'd give us that Eric Morecambe dead pan look of scorn and retort: 'It's alright for you lot to stand there laughing but a bird in the hand gathers no moss you know!'

Hilarious!

Perhaps John should buy Mum a Pantone Colour chart for Christmas.

You need to collect all these in a little book.

When my mum got angry she used to say, "We're going to have a different alteration round here."
