You Would Think

[pimplyteen]

With all these comings and goings, in and out of number 10, waiting on one speech of the outgoing lettuce, and the incoming Rusty Richi, plus all the gang of both they would put some kind of entertainment on outside number 10, maybe a juggler would be fitting. It would be better than just looking at this front door. :0)

Do you have a question or is this just one of your child-like observations?

Perhaps this would be best suited to ChatterBank.

reported, racism.

[naomi24]

No, I wouldn't think that.

Why do some people find it impossible to use people's proper names? I guess they think it makes them look smart. It doesn't.

[pimplyteen]

Explain TTT

[Atheist]

Where's the racism?

If I were PM I'd clear all the journalists and TV crews with their lights and cameras from Downing Street. Apart from when the PM is making a statement from the lectern in front of No10, there is absolutely no need for there to be any press in Downing Street; and certainly no need for networks to broadcast the whole bulletin from there.

Private Eye used to have a feature called 'Going Live', giving instances of reporters broadcasting live from somewhere where there was absolutely nothing happening at that time, and no need for them to be there. Same with all these reports from outside No 10, particularly in the evening news bulletins.

I was watching an old election night broadcast from 1955 (stop laughing there!). They showed people standing out in the rain at Cheltenham town hall waiting for the first declaration of the night I was puzzled by the odd noises coing from many of them, and it turned out there was a clown on the balcony making them laugh.
A real one.

[pimplyteen]

Ask the media naomi.

It's no good - I've got to ask. Why?

[davebro]

well why wouldn't you? historical election night broadcasts are one of my main sources of entertainment!

[ichkeria]

It was on catch up TV Naomi (or may have been one I had recorded - stop laughing I said!)
I love these old programmes - they're a slice of history, and show how much we've changed. I didn't watch the whole thing through: apart from anything else it was a very boring election. As often happened in those days, there was more of less a uniform swing of 2% to the ruling party across most of the country. At least there was no give-away exit poll though!

[pimplyteen]

Dave, It still is apart from looking at that front door. I think we've been looking at it now for the last 2years. You could get Pen and Teller over and along with entertaining us all work some real magic for the economy. :0)))

[ToraToraTora]

11:46 - "Rusty Richi" - is that some sort of skin colour reference?

[pimplyteen]

In your mind it might be, because let's face it you trawl the internet most days to find something connected to such. Let me clarify for you.
Rusty means just that, he's been under Boris, been there done that, still no good. We need fresh faces not rusty ones. Have a nice day!

[pimplyteen]

Forgot to add, Truss was also rusty. We need new parts not secondhand ones from the scrap yard.

Intermittent Outrage Syndrome rears it's head. :-)

[davebro]

bit of squirming going on methinks

[pimplyteen]

There's a lot of squirming going on for sure, all at number 10. There's a whole lot of scrap left behind by Boris that needs collecting.

[davebro]

squirming proceeds

[jno]

have you noticed that the number on the door isn't 10, it's 1O? Done to fool the nation's enemies, no doubt.
