Chicken blood feathers everywhere.

Damn it all.

Good Lord, what happened to television?!

There's... there's absolutely nothing worth watching!

Stop it, you're encouraging me to write a letter of complaint, and then I really will be old.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

I shudder at the thought of what would be included in a letter of complaint from you.

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

If you're very good, I'll write you one of your very own.

'Dear Sir,
I was most disappointed by the appalling neckwear on display at last week's Parliamentary Questions. Such flamboyant attire only serves to-'

ow!

Do you sharpen those elbows, or are they naturally acicular?

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

It's by way of recompense for my lack of height. The two things actually work surprisingly well together.

I've spent most of the day with Alastair, you are not allowed to claim shortness privilages for at least another thirty minutes.

Spoil sport.

Those protests make the Millbank affair look rather pathetic in comparison.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

I hate to bring up technicalities, but there is a slight difference between those protests and what happened at Millbank.

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

You always were one to quibble over details.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

Force of habit.

In that case, you won't mind when I point out that the presenter's tie is a hideous interpretation of a mandelbrot set in blue nylon and faded crimson. Utterly hideous, but at least he's got it centred.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm

I wonder where he got it from...

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

Envy is the root of all evil, John.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

I have plenty of marvellous ties of my own, why would I be envious?

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

I could practically see your eyes turning green.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

I am not envious of that man's tie! I already own one rather similar to it.

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

Of course not, dear boy. I shall cross it off the christmas list.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

...Damn it.

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

...something the matter, John?

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

No, no, nothing at all.

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

I shall just have to get you the complete Hansard in hardback instead. I'm sure it won't fill too many rooms.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

How very thoughtful of you. I've no idea what I could possibly get you in return.

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll think of something.

Hmm, it appears that Mubarak has dismissed his entire cabinet. I'm so glad that we live in a country where a party leader can't just sack his cabinet members on a whim, aren't you?

Yes Peter, no Peter, three bags full Peter...
