Bananas

[bogeyman]

BM, Please apologise to Dave for me, I am convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that he has more charisma as a fully signed up Gerbil than dear old Clem.

I passed on your message to Dave, who said: -

"Hey! No worries mate! You big green, scaly bastard"

(he's an Australian Gerbil).

a man with all the charisma of a gerbil

My gerbil (Dave) is mightily insulted by your remark and reckons he could eat you alive (or at least nibble into nothingness over time).

a bit like all those households which gave up pots and pans all in the name of a joint effort.

then pots and pans were not used to make planes etc...

Did anyone else watch the prog on BBC2 last week about Bananas?

It regaled us with the wonderful details of the 1945 - 52 Old Liebour government, as led by dear old Clement Atlee, a man with all the charisma of a gerbil.

How food rationing became more prescriptive after the war than during it, as the apparatchiks of the Ministry of Truth.. sorry, Ministry of Food, instead of giving advice, gave orders, which must be obeyed.

Of how they were attempting to ration bread which wasn't rationed during the war.

Etc. Etc.

No wonder Churchill got reelected.
