  1. Munguin is psychic, Derek, among hos many extraorinary talents. We must not forget that. He knew I was here very soon after JFAL went live but did not claim first-in honours. Still, maybe if I drop a word here that I’ll pass on the presents and he should make good o you, he might – just – might reconsider. Tris will tell us in due course.

  2. Love these, again thanks for the laughs. The revolving door one and the Muppets, ha ha, very well done. Have a good Monday all, god knows what the week will bring with the shower of incompetent muppets in charge of the sinking ship.

    1. Maybe she’ll be forced out this week…

      You have Dave to thank for the Muppets sketch. He emailed me with it actually after the post was scheduled, and it was so good, I replaced a less funny joke with it.

      How the world must be laughing at us…

    1. I love how MPs who get subsidised food and drink, housing and all their utilities, on top of their generous salaries, absolutely hate handouts to the lower and lesser people.

  3. Loved the radio interviewer,

    Can you be a little more Blunt , Mr Blunt.

    The Muppets one will live for a long time.

    Another great selection to take our minds off the london centric mess, the war starts at 11:00, the armistice ends.

      1. Live Drowning street.
        A delivery.
        The box is titled, ‘Saving Brains’

        We’re saved, the pm’s brain has been found, it’s unused so plenty of opportunities to reprogramme it.

        1. I misread that as “saving bairns”… A highly unlikely scenario, I thought, unless they are royal.

          There used to be a series in Spitting image when I were but a lad, called, “The President’s Brain is Missing”.

          Soon, of course, the PM will, herself, be missing… so not much point in a revival.

  4. Some excellent and much need funnies today. And good to see Larry a cat of taste and discernment.

    PM and a Chancellor – two of the great hot desks of state.

    1. I don’t know why Larry doesn’t just move into the PM’s Office and take over.

      He must look with dismay at the succession of clowns living in his home.

  5. Brilliant stuff as usual. Cheered me up no end and just the perfect tonic for the Monday morning blues that occur quite a lot in my old age.

    You know you’re getting old when you realise that the James Bond film ‘Tomorrow Never Dies” (made 25 years ago this year) wasn’t a far-fetched conspiracy theory film but was in fact a Training Manual.
    OR
    That “The Night of the Living Dead ” (made around the same time) about zombies overrunning the country wasn’t a horror film but wasin fact a documentary.

    As the philosopher I.M Pistov says

    ‘If one is quite prepared to be spoon fed bullshit, one has only one person to blame when one becomes ill’. LOL LOL

    1. The Ann Landers quote struck home with me. It was my fortieth birthday – the very day itself – when I stopped worrying a flying one about what anyone else thought about me.

      When I turned sixty, I wrote a piece where – amongst other things – I recalled something that happened in 1969 and then realised with a thrill of horror that I am now as far away from that event as that event was from the Battle of the Somme. Eeeek!

      Regarding Mark Twain, I’m currently re-reading a collection of pieces by Stephen Leacock, who was the nearest thing Canada had to Twain. Very sharp, very funny, very recommended. Milligan thought highly of him, too.

    TICKET TO HIDE

    I think I’m past sad, I think it’s already yesterday, yeah
    That girl is driving us mad but she’s also going away

    She’s got a ticket to hide
    She’s got a ticket to ride
    She’s got a ticket to hide, and we don’t care

    She said her new job was getting her down, yeah
    And with me next door made her look like like a clown
    She would never be free when I was around

    She’s got a ticket to hide
    She’s got a ticket to ride
    She’s got a ticket to hide, and we don’t care

    I know why she’s sinking so low
    She didn’t think twice- oh no, no, no
    Won’t yet say goodbye
    No more need to think twice, she’s out the door

    I think I’m past sad, I think it’s already yesterday, yeah
    That girl is driving us mad but she’s also going away

    She’s got a ticket to hide
    She’s got a ticket to ride
    She’s got a ticket to hide, and we don’t care

    I don’t know why she ever got so high
    She did not think twice before firing me
    But won’t yet say goodbye
    Sees no need to think twice about the size of her pie

  8. she looked even more wooden than normal.

    the new chancer was on a high telling the SNP would be in trouble for 10 years with indy, better together.

    wind was taken out his sails when his own side questioned the lack of growth plan.

    The place is a muppet show and the speaker is hopeless, reading out the response to now that the pm is here will she state why she wasn’t, the government decide who answers.

    The mordault didn’t look at truss, just ignored but she had to pakm off the questions as truss would.

      1. Argueably trispw that is the truth. Am I alone in wanting to disassociate myself from their crazyness?

        I don’t think so.

        1. Right, Douglas.

          My last trace of Britishness fizzled out with the Rwanda genocide and the Iraq war, but I can still be embarrassed on their behalf, because I’m a sensitive soul.

          Oddly, I don’t feel nearly the same degree of concern for the feeling of the Scottish Tories: they’re part of our polity, yet share responsibility for the clusterbourach in their party and at Westminster. They choose to be figures of fun, the butts of jokes, and the objects of general opprobrium. So tough.

          1. I wonder when Douglas will decide that, in fact, he doesn’t support Liz Truss but thinks that someone else should step in. Alistair Jack Boots?

            By the looks of it it won’t be long.

            Poor old Prince Snarly. 2 prime ministers in 2 months… Not a good start.
