UK Special PM Countdown

[Griffin NoName]

On the sixth day before the Prime Minister changed I:

Knitted a new cabinet minister out of a liberal amount of string seasoned with brown soup.

[Bluenose]

Sorry, can't resist:  On the sixth day before the Prime Minister changed into what?

[beagle]

The usual choices are:

Vastly overpaid after-dinner speaker.

Vastly overpaid Eurocrat commissioner.

Vastly overpaid non-exec director of companies that inexplicably won contracts or got treated especially leniently while you were in office (BSkyb, supercasino chains, defence contractors...)

Back row heckler in the House of Lords.

Special envoy to somewhere you've never heard of.

Head of some World Bank/IMF type quango (should that be quasgo for supranational ones ?).

Pain in the backside to current incumbent.

Author of tedious diaries disclosing which of your colleagues were drunks/lechers/liars/thieves/all of the preceding and explaining how you were always right and them wrong.

All of the above.



On the fifth day before the Prime Minister changed I:

Should be ordering the champagne, but the thought of pension-snatcher Brown as replacement takes all the fun out of it.

Sorry, can't resist:  On the sixth day before the Prime Minister changed into what?

Into a Roman Catrholic apparently. Not on Beagle's list

edit. typo. but probably correct

[beagle]

Pity the poor padre that gets his first confession.

On the fifth day before the Prime Minister changed I:

Cashed in all my national insurance contributions, bought a large plot of land, built a mansion for my old age, installed staff with whom I can communicate, to provide necessary functions I cant do, invested the remainder in the GP surgey to enable home visit whenever necessary, and banned all non-essential medical treatment that prolongs quantity over quality of life. mmm

Apparently our beloved soon-to-be-ex leader has given the Pope pictures of a previous Anglican->Roman Catholic convert well on the way to sainthood, one Cardinal Newmann.

I find it hard enough to say "Prime Minister Blair" so "Saint Blair" is out of the question. Let's just hope not getting rumbled for a decade is insufficient proof of a miracle.  Can't accuse the blighter of not knowing how to aim high or drop a hint though.

Good luck getting your money back from Gordon Brown. The ******* moved my minimum private pension retirement age back 5 years and my state retirement back 1. And don't get me started on pension stealth taxes...

On the fourfth day before the Prime Minister changed I:

Told everyone how wonderful and clever my lawyer was (at giving the wrong advice) and shed a tear that he decided not go on doing it. Where will I ever find another one like that?

[beagle]

...Sold out to the EU and built a viewing stand in Downing Street, ready for adoring fans to be bussed in.

[Griffin NoName]

On the third day before the Prime Minister changed I:


...wondered why the Pope washed his hand after I kissed it.

[Griffin NoName]

On the second day before the Prime Minister changed I:
... forgot it was the second day before

On the last day before the Prime Minister changed I:

....realised tomorrow won't be much different to today

[beagle]

Not for us. Pity them in the Middle East though. Just when they thought it couldn't get any worse than suicide bombers, walls, interfactional fighting, roadblocks, power, water and food cuts they find you-know-who is on the way to help.

[Griffin NoName]

I just indulged myself by re-watching the Trial of you-know-who. Pity it's fiction.

A few days after the Prime Minister changed I:

Regretted not telling everyone that I forecast a terrorist attack shortly after the change over. Though I doubt it would have averted it (grandiose).

Not to make the same mistake again, I note that the possible involvement of imported doctors in the plot(s), resulting in the Jordanian father of one of them appealing to the King of Jordan to intervene on his son's behalf, smacks of conspiracy to cause maximum fallout and international turmoil with very lttile to go on so far.

[beagle]

Is this a worrying sign that off-duty doctors are finally getting bored with golf?

Wouldn't have thought he'll get much change out of King Abdullah. Encouraging fundamentalism isn't really the Jordanian way.
