[teacake44]

That TV program Faking it, is really good.

[Paigntonian]

[Jackdaw33]

"Tired and emotional" is a euphemism for "p****d out of one's brain. It was frequently used to describe the late Russian president, Boris Yeltsin.

[emmie]

Jack this is what i also found

The phrase " tired and emotional " is a chiefly British euphemism for alcohol intoxication. It was popularised by the British satirical magazine Private Eye in 1967 after being used in a spoof diplomatic memo to describe the state of Labour Cabinet minister George Brown, but is now used as a stock phrase.

[emmie]

he was a well known tippler wasn't he..

[emmie]

i think we are all glad that its finally being rolled out..

Here comes the first niggardly Leftie.

Unless he's been told that x amount is to be deducted from his salary every month to cover some of the billions spent on crap PPE.

[emmie]

that doesn;t seem likely either

[Bobbisox1]

There's no pleasing some folk

[Jackdaw33]

I like the story about George Brown, probably apocryphal, when he was Foreign Secretary on a mission to Peru.

At a diplomatic reception the band struck up and George approached a figure clad in shimmering red and asked if he could have this dance.

The said figure replied, "No, I will not dance with you, for three reasons:

Firstly, you are drunk.

Secondly, this is not a waltz but the Peruvian national anthem.

Thirdly, I am the Cardinal Lord Archbishop of Lima."

[emmie]

jack i have heard that one, its a good one isn;t it...

[Bobbisox1]

My favourite re Gordon Brown is
'Get that bloody woman away from me ' and it went live got the country to hear

[emmie]

didn;t he call her off air "a bigoted woman".. she was aLabour voter.

[Jackdaw33]

Bobbi, you are confusing Gordon Brown with the late George Brown, deputy to Harold Wilson.

[teacake44]

The only other reason I can think of for Matt cracking up is that Boris has told him he must continue to be interviewed by Piers Morgan, because there's no way he's going to.

[emmie]

no she's not Jack, Gordon Brown was heard to say about a woman who was interviewed on camera, though he thought he was off mike, That Bigoted woman, she was a lifelong Labour supporter. It put paid to his premiership by all accounts
