    No idea why the toilet is mounted so high up the wall, but those bloody mango skins have gone right through me so I’ll have to use it.

    I’ve been able to fit my foot in my mouth so getting my fist in there will be a doddle, easier than taking over the leadership thanks to the ABC lubricant.

      In times like these only the most inarticulate, visionless, charisma-lacking, bumbling and ineffective Labour leader in history can smile like this.

    A Camera! Great. Annette said I must imitate the statue and smile.
    Maybe I should take my clothes off too. Will the tradesmen in the White Vans demographic find that ‘blokey’? Maybe I should check with

    At first glance the doll looked like goff
    but then it turned out to be not
    and dressed up like nero
    while the labour party burns
    it must be time for the bourgeoisie turds

    From up here i can see my caucus,the right ones are in that corner,and the left
    ones are over there somewhere, I don’t think there is left or right in politics,but
    we must stay on the ‘right’ track, so i’m told, ”hey Trev did you bring your
    gumboots,i think i could be in the shit, Paddy’s here and i haven’t spoken to
    him since the setup,you know the one”

    Mi god1 I think I might be in a pub, with the unsanctified. Er, um now what do I do?

    Ah! Mediate ,of course. That is always what I have done.

    Sure beats the hell out of having to make a decision myself.

    Let others decide.

    “Hmm .. maybe I should adopt a Fabian strategy ?”

    Fabius was well aware of the military superiority of the Carthaginians, and so Fabius refused to meet Hannibal in a pitched battle. Instead he kept his troops close to Hannibal, hoping to exhaust him in a long war of attrition. Fabius was able to harass the Carthaginian foraging parties, limiting Hannibal’s ability to wreak destruction while conserving his own military force. The delaying tactics involved a pincer of not directly engaging Hannibal while also exercising a “scorched earth” practice to prevent Hannibal’s forces from obtaining grain and other resources.

      but…isn’t a Fabian war of indirect attrition supposed to be directed at the Key Government, not your own officers?

          Sun Wu (simplified Chinese: 孙武; traditional Chinese: 孫武; pinyin: Sūn Wǔ), style name Changqing (長卿), better known as Sun Tzu or Sunzi[1] (simplified Chinese: 孙子; traditional Chinese: 孫子; pinyin: Sūnzǐ; pronounced [swə́n tsɨ̀]) – active as a general and strategist before he wrote the Art of War – relates in Shiji how execution of a king’s two favored concubines, to the king’s protests, caused a harem of 180 to perform their military maneuvers flawlessly.

          Mark McNeilly in ‘Sun Tzu and the Art of Modern Warfare’ writes that a modern interpretation of Sun Tzu and his importance throughout Chinese history is critical in understanding China’s push to becoming a superpower in the 21st century.

          Shearer must be pondering the same questions.

            It’s a caricature making me look like a dim-witted citizen of ancient Rome.

            Here’s me mugging for the camera in this little corporate kleptocracy.

    I’ve just had a thought. If I addressed the plebeians in Latin would it really matter if I mumbled. Most wouldn’t understand me anyway.
