We can’t look at an elephant the same way again

Published: December 12, 2011 at 3:44pm

We were in a shop yesterday, choosing a figure of a pygmy elephant (I fell in love with it) to place among the canna lilies in the garden. You know, instead of a gnome.

Then I heard a disembodied voice behind me say: “Now all you need is a little figure of Anglu Farrugia to place on top.”

I began to look at the elephant with new eyes, but I still took it home.

If I get one of those gnomes for Christmas, I can always doll it up in a builder’s vest beneath a see-through polyester shirt, give it some blond highlights, shave off its facial hair, and stick it on the elephant.

    Anglu reminds me of the former British deputy PM ‘two-jaguars’ champagne socialist John Prescott.

    John Prescott could not construct a proper sentence.

    Now I’ll never be able to look at a gnome in the same way. Spoilsport.

    Whenever I look at this photo, I just cannot stop laughing. Anglu looks so uncomfortable on that elephant. You can tell from the expression on his face, that he only got on that beast for the sake of a photo. Imwerwer!
