Thursday's Thread

I’ve had this hanging about in my ‘copy’ file for some while but have finally decided to use it. Here's the announcement of the new Pope, as the newspapers reported it:

Feel a lot better having got that off my chest.

When push came to shove this morning, I decided not to add my ‘X’ to the hordes of other already placed. The guy I was going to support will win anyway it is such a foregone conclusion. It is such a lovely day I do not want to spoil it by engaging in political matters.

My experiences and knowledge gained as a member of the brutal and licentious soldiery are ideal for commenting on five-times-a-nighter Blair/B Liar. What is that all about anyway? I suspect that the sachel-faced QC was inspired by Mrs. Bush’ recent speech and feels required to follow suit just as Tone has to trail George. I would rather share a bed with a Pomeranian dog; that is just for starters. What I would prefer to her after the fifth symphony is beyond my imagination. I must not go on with this – it could get very crude.

Despite the lack of real interest, I’m planning on staying up past normal cocoa and cookies time tonight just to see what happens. I saw El Portillo get the push live last time and his face was wonderful to watch. Maybe that fool Killjoy-Spwek will get his result before the Sandy Man comes. I will surely watch Bremner and the 2 Johns.
