UK and US

[Griffin NoName]

Rumours that no one in the US will notice Gordon Brown is there because the Pope will over-shadow him.

Hence this announcement.

Gordon Brown IS there.

Suggest grafitti : Gordon Brown was 'ere.

Gordon who? 

[Aggie]

Must be the President of the UK or something.

Oh, one of those silly 'European' things. This here's AMURRICA, where ya don't put a K in stuff you don't want people to laugh at., right? All place names with a K are funny...Kalamazoo, Kookamonga, Kansas...

I'm sure if they wanted us to take him seriously, they'd have gotten somebody with a better name like that Blair guy. I mean' this one's named after a COLOR, a generally ugly one!

These people exist, and are in college even!!

I wondered why the FTSE 100 was up 2.4%.

Please don't rush to send him back.

Hey! I was born in Kansas....wait.  Nevermind.

Actually I think his old boss is planning to be the next Pope, but I'm not sure the existing one realises it yet.

Interesting move. Going all the way to the States to announce the giving of more tax payers money to the banks.

I have got this right haven't I?  We pay tax. This tax is given to the banks. The banks then have enough money to lend us. We pay interest to the banks on the money the banks loan us. Brilliant covert tax hike.

[Black Bart]

But which one is the best at giving away tax payers money:

Gordon Brown or George Bush

there's only one way to find out...

FIGHT!

[beagle]

But which one is the best at giving away tax payers money:

I don't think either of them has fully grasped the 7 fat years/7 lean years parable stuff from the Technicolor Dreamcoat.

That Andrew Lloyd-Webber is so smart you could almost start a religion from his writings.

[Sibling Chatty]

So Lloyd-Weber and Blair will duke it out for Pope, and you guys can have that German guy in the dress to run your government, even though he ties his shoes in little (k)notzies!

BTW, Tim Rice did all the good lyrics. When Lloyd-Weber dumped him, he got--melodramatic. And boring...

[beagle]

If the bloke's prayers actually work he may be just what we need, even if he is a beginner on the fancy dress front compared to some of our existing officials. At the very least he'll need a hat with big feathers to impress the locals.

Not very well up on musicals, other than "La Resistance" from the South Park movie, or "The Song That Goes Like This".

[Sibling Chatty]

Lloyd-Webber, music.
Rice, Words.

When Lloyd-Webber thought he was too good for Rice, he went off and bombed with Jeeves, then came back...and his biggest hits since they finally quit working together have involved TS Eliot, and the Phantom story, which doesn't need words, and it's a damn good thing, since the melodies often leave the singers unable to enunciate. (Sarah Brightman has been quoted as saying that he hates sopranos, thus he writes miserable things for them to do in all his new compositions.) Oh, and a musical remake of an olh Hollywood movie.

Rice slunk into obscurity by collaborating with Elton John and a few other 'lesser' lights...
