In reply to chavsRus. If you say so - who am I to deny you your comic relief when it is clear you so desperately need it? [Daphne - A person's problems begin, ChavRus, when they require relief of an entirely different sort. And you are clearly one of them.]

In reply to chavsRus.

Talking of custard pies, you must have seen Wendi Deng Murdoch launch herself like a scud missile at that lost his Marbles foam plate idiot, landing a right hook smack in his kisser. She’s not just brains – she’s got spunk and brawn as well.

Johnnie tal-pipa, please note that we have other serious problems:-

It is so difficult to open a Benna carton of milk.

The lid of the Benna yoghurt cup is dangerous.

The sea is littered with cigarette butts.

I have to say, I agree with what Adrian Vassallo said here. It appears to me that, at least, he has clear logical thinking. I think he also tries to explain why we are going down the rabbit hole.

It seems that while the precarious financial situation of many European countries (and the U.S.A.) is making the headlines in the foreign media, our mediocre PRINTED AND ELECTRONIC PRESS is deeply concerned about divorce, gay marriages and Cyrus Engerer. If these are our real problems, we should count our blessings and stop thinking of voting to bring on the bad times.

I don’t get it. What’s wrong with “nougat hawker”?

[Daphne – Wrong? Oh yes, I’ve just remembered that you’re from a different cultural background. This story is in the same class of crazy-funny as the prime minister, the porn star and the kiwis. I apologise if it doesn’t include people slipping and custard pies being thrown, or whatever Zoo does nowadays.]

It’s the silly season after all. If Malta was “Svizzera fil Mediterran” would it have been an emmenthal seller ?

In Tunisia, this hawker would have set himself on fire and started the Jasmine Nougat revolution.

Sorry, but I don’t get it. Apart from the usual poor English and the fact that the Labour Party condemn violence and then their sympathisers use it, just what is remarkable here?

[Daphne – Oh dear, Tim, you’re becoming a humourless Austrian. The story is hysterically funny.]
