  • Interview with Greg from Twirling in the Light
    This week’s interview is with Greg, who will be familiar to regular readers as a commenter on this blog under the name of his alter ego, Steg. I wasn’t at all surprised when he offered to help me out with an interview, he’s one of the internet’s good guys, and over the years has gone from being a fellow blogger to a firm friend! Greg is also a talented writer and poet, you can find his [...]

    George Bush, a man not known for his public speaking at the best of times, has really gone and done it now. Whilst having a chat with his poodle, oops sorry, Tony Blair, and apparently unaware that his microphone was switched on, he uttered this statement which revealed his true feelings about the current Middle East crisis.

    Two things, firstly, what hope for diplomacy when the most powerful man on earth, who is also a supporter of one of the protagonists in the current conflict makes remarks such as this. And secondly, because he makes dumb statements with such regularity, I think ‘doing a dubya’ should become the standard description for those awkward foot in the mouth moments.

      He really is DUMB! Dear god almighty. I have to say i thought this was a joke thing until i saw that it was from the bbc. The sight of a posh beeb newsreader saying shit presumably before the watershed v hilarious. Thanx for your helpful comments btw.

      The whole thing is terrible. Who says that people who want to be rulers are generally the least fit to be so?

      Pippa – I thought it was a joke too, it seemed too stupid to be true. LOL

      It was funny to see Jane Hill quoting him wasn’t it, she did it with such a straight face too.

      Thanks for the link :-)

      Are you aware that George the Clown, when Mr. Blair approached him while stuffing his fat face with food, addressed the PM as, “Yo, Blair!”.

      I wonder how George would address the Queen: “Fetch me another beer while you’re up”?

      Madmen and clowns, all.

      Charlie -

      “while stuffing his fat face with food,”

      This made me laugh :-)

      I could imagine him saying that to the Queen, and then patting her bum as she went past. The Bushes did stay at Buck House when they came on a state visit a few years ago. Only one night though, which is very telling!

      ps: It’s nice to see/read you :-)
