Meddling Minty stokes the fires of British fascism

[Paul Rigby]

I have received a distressed email from my agent, Sophie Hyde-White, to the following effect:

"You really haven't got the hang of this business, yet, have you, Rigsby? Carpe diem, you fool: Remind all those fellow-conspiracy loons that if they must restrict themselves to only one Gland in the hand over the forthcoming Chrimbo, it has to be a Northern Root (or should that be - nudge, nudge - The Sweet Smell of Decay"?) Tootle-pip! Sophs."

There, consider yourselves reminded by a twelve year-old, as Ed Reardon would surely have put it.

A shaved Borzoi you say; I used to know a young girl who kept one of those and no end of trouble it caused her too. Beginning with nasty rash.

She later kept a Brazilian Mucuchie, honey-coloured, and which, according to experts, needed to be briskly exercised daily and has the added benefit in that it requires little grooming.

It used to yap when given a bone.

[Paul Rigby]

A shaved Borzoi you say...

Now stuffed and mounted, and in pride of place at the entrance to Gamp's
facility for distressed urban youth, "Camp Gamp." As much a state of mind as a self-description, according to Gamp in The Universe.

Did I mention he'd taken holy orders?

OMG,this is so much more fun than reading about massacres..........:bandit:

Holy Orders? I dread to think. Btw, are you sure he's a Gamp and not their kin relatives, the Gimp's? After all St. Peter's Palace has more than its fair share of Holy members strangulated by tight collars and other curious adornments. I'm not saying that dog collars are a bad thing per se, you understand, but wearing a tiara, with frilly lace vestments and a too tight cincture more often than not results in a strangulated manipie.

Which I hear is very painful.

Which reminds me of a story I once heard of a High Court Judge and his unruly silky terrier.

But that's for another day and stronger stomachs.

Among the locals, many of whom have recently completed lucrative involvement in the construction of an airstrip adjoining the camp, Gamp's rural refuge for the feral youth of Bristol is known as..."Gampstown."

Need I say more?

Need I say more?

Hmmm?How about "don't drink the cool-aid".......:nurse:

An outrageous suggestion, Keith, which has the added disadvantage of being, er, true.

"Scrumpy-aid" : The cider taste that lasts an eternity.....................

In his scabrous roman a clef, Greasing the Pole* (London: Anthony Gland, 2003), Sir Reginald Pike-Darkness offered a forensic portrait of New Labour eminence grise Minty Feltch.

Throughout the novel, Pike-Darkness drops progressively less subtle hints that Feltch is an MI6 asset...I wish to make it abundantly clear that all the above has absolutely no relevance whatever to the article instanced below.

Has Labour handed Stoke to the BNP?

By Mark Seddon

With the BNP on the march in Stoke-on-Trent, why has Lord Mandelson parachuted in his chosen Labour candidate?

Vintage Feltch:

Hence the delight for Mandelson today, who finished his day at the seaside with an ice-cream on the end of the north pier. He took a large bite of a mint and choc-chip scoop, leaving a smudge over his lips and nose.

"Is there anything more I can do with this ice-cream that will make you happier than you are now?" he asked photographers.

Why would Mandy put an ice cream on the end of his North pier?

Curious things these odd perv.., er, people get up to eh...
