poor me ......another drink

[sunflower68]

George Galloway was twittering on to Barrymore (CBB) when he used this phrase. Pete said it is an old phrase, like 'saving for a rainy day.' I have never heard it, has anyone else.

George has 'never met a more selfish, self-centred person' as Barrymore. Saddam, anyone?

I've never heard it, and even if as Pete advised, it is a 'common' expression, there is a time and a place to use it - that row was neither!

I have heard this phrase before, but only a couple of times.In my opinion George was 100% referring to Barrymore's previous drink problems.George is a spiteful little man who insists he is 'serene' but you can see in his eyes that he is boiling with rage at not being allowed to nominate.He will deservevedly be booted out of the BB house tonight, and I think his actions in the house will eventually put paid to his political career.I find it hilarious that a man who is an MP for the Respect party, is one of the most disrespectfull people I have ever seen.

Loved it when Michael Barrymore accused George of being a "frustrated performer". How true that is.

The show has demonstrated starkly how a skillful politician can take the arguments or protests of others and turn the conversation around whilst avoiding actually dealing with the matters raised. I think George's apearance on the show has harmed not only his image, but that of politicians generally.

yes and when he was going "I'm totally serene" you could nearly see his blood boiling. A good point kags, you do get to see what many politicians get to hide behind closed doors. I'm sure many are liars and probably let their shield slip when they are home. George can do nothing but let his weasly ways show because he has nowhere to hide. What a hideous little man.

pete was just defending george - he know that this not a common phrase and he claimed it was to try and make preston doubt himself and feel stupid for reacting the way he did.

GG is finished in his career, cannot believe that he thinks the public are on his side!

PB is just a twisted old failure who can't accept reality and doesn't like anyone else who has anything going for them that he himself cannot have - like youth etc

his persistance with calling 24 year olds 'kids' says it all really.

when he sees traits in other people that he himself possesses he hates it and attacks them... he needs help.
