In all honesty, I think if a few Model Railway Club AGMs were done on Zoom and recorded they could give this lot a run for their money.

Our Union meetings at work usually ended in arguments over procedural rules by the "lefties"

Result, most people stayed away and rarely any decisions were made.

Spot the Donald!

I see he's upset with the Screen Actors Guild now...

 

Think of some things a Proboscis Monkey has never done -

 

Tried to cancel Obamacare

Built The Wall

Pulled out of the Paris Agreement on climate change

Been impeached - twice

Denied the result of an election he lost

Incited rebellion

Been a climate change denier

Totally mishandled the Covid-19 crisis -

Which wrecked the US economy which had flourished during Obama's presidency -

And then caught it himself because of his total denial of the seriousness of the pandemic

Unilaterally withdrawn the US from a nuclear treaty in the Middle East which caused huge tension in the region

Damaged democracy by his hostility to media / politicians / federal officials who didn't agree with everything he said

Petulantly snubbed his successor's inauguration

 

I think in hindsight the USA might have been better off with a monkey as President for the last four years

The Vicar of Dibley parish council meetings aren't a patch on this. No no no no no no no no no... yes

Just had some alternative titles for this on The Last Leg.

My favourite was "The Bicker if Dibley"

..how many jingles did you join in with?

 

 

Kev.

 

 

 

Some didn't have jingles, but the ads I specifically remembered were

 

Bran Flakes
Fairy Liquid with Nanette Newman
Hovis...  A pity the hill is in Shaftsbury
Heineken
Vitelite

 

I suppose 25% isn't bad.   Or good, for that matter  :scratchhead:

Is that inference towards Biden or Harris ?

You thought that not me. I referred to Biden.  Besides the post I quoted clearly stated the president not vice president. I have a pretty good idea what you are inferring and it's the usual lazy insult to throw at someone these days when you dont think someone is entitled to their own opinion.

Far from it, I asked as I have heard that comment several times over the past few days as that joke has done the rounds,  (here and in the USA) but several were specifically refering (obviously derogatorily) to Harris.

Or a Jabberwock?

 

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

      And the mome raths outgrabe.

 

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

      The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

      The frumious Bandersnatch!”

 

Better have a vorpal sword to hand if you go down to the woods* today...

 

Maintaining safe distancing, naturally. And no galumphing!...

 

 

* Do they look tulgey enough?

Na, mate, that's not a Jabberwock bite, too rounded.  That's a Grefflog.

 

Grefflogs inhabit the Brecon Beacons and are extremely dangerous, carnivorous, and fast.  So fast in fact that nobody's ever seen one.

 

And lived... 

 

And nobody's ever found anything left afterwards, so they must be capable of swallowing sheep and smaller humans whole, and before they have time to scream!  Probably tulgey enough for most tastes.

 

Very useful for getting small children not to wander off the path.  And what's the point of keeping company with small children, or credulous Americans, if you can't mess with their heads a little.
