UNSHORN OF THE DEAD - time to get a haircut?...

---------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to post a rather funny lavatorial joke, but 

my wife poo-pooed the idea...

When you're retired, ever day's an "I'm off to the 

pub"lic holiday...

----------------------------------------------------------------

Going to Westminster Hall to see the Queen lying in

State was so much more rewarding than going to the 

Commons to see Boris Johnson lying in office...

Kim Jong-il, but Charles is fine: how long will it be

before I see a 'King Charles III' headline without

thinking he's been taken ill?...

The Queen & Philip: friends reunited...

**********************************

"What kept you?" asked Phil.

"Duty to my country," said 

Liz, "now move over"...

Eating your words is so much easier if they're written on rice paper.

"Diego Costa, has-been, signed by Wolves." I'm sorry, I'll read that

again. "DIEGO COSTA HAS BEEN SIGNED BY WOLVES". 

Mind you, I was probably right first time. He's getting on a bit...

Cost of living crisis...

LADY IN THE RED -

I hear she'll be putting that

The story used to be one of "Prince Andrew is going to the dogs".

Now, apparently, it's one of "The dogs are going to Prince Andrew".

Makes a change. (He's getting the Queen's corgis)

Not a lot of people know this, but three years ago Her Majesty

honoured my trusty old Morris Minor for services to the motor

industry. It's now a Dame-ler...  #CarToon

Frozen Planet II: a 'stone-cold' certainty to win all the awards going?

Harry & Meghan. By (dis)appointment to His Majesty King Charles III.

Purveyors of heartache and woe...

If an OCD sufferer ever inherited money, I'm pretty

sure it would be a tidy sum. A very, VERY tidy sum

- however small...

I'm not sure beating your brother over the head with an

olive branch counts as a conciliatory gesture, William...

ONE MAN UNITED - Sir Alex Ferguson,

COUNTRY UNITED - the death of Queen Elizabeth...

Not a lot of people know that...

I have no car. I

Gary 'Toe The Line'ker? No chance, BBC...

A cheese G&T? Talk about a drop of the hard stuff!...

Calling new PM 'Thick Lizzie' is no more sexist than calling

ex-PM 'Bonkers Boris'. Gender is a total irrelevance. To

cry 'sexist' or 'misogynist' every time a woman is insulted

does the female gender no favours. Man up, women! 

(hey, I know you can take it)

"I'm lacquered," said the door to No 10. 

"I'm pretty tired myself," replied Mrs Truss...

                     How much expertise to our Secretaries of State actually possess

                     in their particular fields? Precious little, I fear. One day Transport,

                     next day Education (or whatever). Ludicrous way to run anything,

                     let alone a country. My expectations are very low...

                     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A very touching and FUNNY tribute to the late Queen from

Theresa May in the House of Commons. Who knew? And

another from Boris Johnson. Both very obviously from the

heart. Maybe they've never spoken from the heart before?

Politicians are so much more bearable when they're not

doing politics...

MUGSHOT...

Anyone for an ugly mug of Coffey?

                                           --- Liz Truss and Therese Coffey ---

                                            Mrs T and Coffey. How very quaint..
