Blair, in the style of Duracell

He just likes to think he can keep going and going! According to BBC News, he’s planning on a full third term.

The tight fisted bastard! He better step down soon, because I’ve got a fuckload of these to sell and quickly…

Ticket

It doesn’t bode well for Labour’s democracy when their leader says one thing (that he’s going to step down) and then another (for a full third term!) I’d like to think it’s because he’s running scared of John McDonnell’s campaign, but maybe he’s just like every other Labour bureaucrat and gets used to the trappings of power. And maybe power itself.

This is despite his trusted generals, somewhat Mark Anthony-esque, who keep stabbing him. Repeatidly. In public. I have to admit, it is rather fun to watch.

In other events, I’m rather ill at the moment, and it’s not just man-flu. I won’t gross you out with the details, suffice to say it will involve a trip down to the local NHS Drop In Centre (since I am still technically registered with my GP in Salford, and not with one down in London). So, please leave humourous comments, or things which might cheer me up.

    Hey Kit,

    Hope you feel better… soon(ish). I don’t know any jokes off the top of my head so that’s no help and trying to think of something funny but being the type of person I am who sees the glass half empty as opposed to half full then you may have a bit of a wait……
    Well, I could quote you some Groucho Marx if you like.

    PS: What’s man-flu? Similar to bird-flu

    Hi Kit

    Hope you feel better soon.

    Louise, man flu is what men get when they sneeze. Its because they are more wusses than women , apparently :-)
    Can’t think of any jokes. I’d say play on the blogs but its a bit quiet today.

    Oh I don’t like the faffy signing in on this site. It might put people off commenting .

  4. 4 Kit September 1, 2006 at 12:29 pm

    I could have swore I switched signing in off.

    Damn wordpress! Let me look into it…

  5. 5 Louise September 1, 2006 at 12:59 pm

    So.. you feeling any better?

  6. 6 Kit September 1, 2006 at 3:27 pm

    A bit, though there are still some issues which require further investigation if they continue…

  7. 7 Louise September 1, 2006 at 4:57 pm

    Kit, Sounds a bit ominous…

  8. 8 Kit September 1, 2006 at 5:02 pm

    Well, I *think* I know what’s causing it, and it should pass in a day or so more. If not, down to the hospital for me.

  9. 9 Louise September 1, 2006 at 5:38 pm

    Gee Kit, I am getting a bit worried… Hospital? Grapes and Lucozade for you then. You sure it isn’t bird-flu??

  10. 10 Kit September 1, 2006 at 6:19 pm

    Umm, it’s not so much just the ‘flu anymore, there were some other things as well. I’ll give it a day…

  11. 11 Louise September 1, 2006 at 6:27 pm

    Well, I had a nasty cold the other week and it took ages to go but that’s all I had was the snuffles and sore throat. Keep downing the fluids, Kit and get a nursemaid (male or female)……

  12. 12 Kit September 1, 2006 at 6:41 pm

    get a nursemaid (male or female)……

    Why, would you like to apply for the position? ::p

  13. 13 Louise September 1, 2006 at 7:09 pm

    Depends what the terms and conditions are like. Unionised workplace? Pay? Hours…? I’ll eat the grapes and choccies but you can keep the Lucozade and the Complan. Deal?

    This will be a nail biter as there’ll be other applicants and I’ll waiting by the phone….exclaiming “pick me Simon Cowell”! … Sorry wrong programme. :-)

  14. 14 Kit September 1, 2006 at 7:44 pm

    I recognise all unions. In fact, I’m a co-operative.

    You can keep the grapes. I *heart* Lucozade.

  15. 15 Louise September 1, 2006 at 7:53 pm

    I remember the days when Lucozade was the drink for the ill and now it is the energising health drink. Gone full circle, if you ask me.
    You’re a co-operative then. So, is that one big trade union love-in?

  16. 16 Kit September 1, 2006 at 8:31 pm

    But, but, but, I’ve aaaaaalways liked Lucozade, even when it was uncool and untrendy.

    A big trade love in? Not if it includes Tony Woodley. Or Paul Kenny. Actually, there aren’t really many fit leading trade unionists, are there? :(

  17. 17 Louise September 1, 2006 at 8:58 pm

    Or Dave Prentis (loathe the man). Nah, there aren’t any fit trade unionists. But as the saying goes, “politics is showbusiness for ugly people”! Same goes for trade unionism! Liking Lucozade isn’t a crime (yet…. ) so don’t worry… ;)
    Anyway, Charlotte Church is on at 10pm and must watch the “voice of an angel”! If you want Kit, drop me an email (I think you have it).
