I thought more of a toad but I can see the tortoise in him, now you mention it.

Apolloanddaphne · 28/07/2020 21:23

I just saw him on TV and thought tortoise.

I've always thought tortoise. I find it very distracting because whenever I see him I just think "tortoise".

Not in a judgemental way, you understand, just, "Oh, tortoise."

Until he opens his gob. Then I think other things. Some also visage-related. Some not.

Tortoise.

More like a mean-eyed bullfrog.

Alltheprettyseahorses · 28/07/2020 22:40

Don't be so tight. Tortoises - and toads and frogs - are lovely.

TheMandalorian · 28/07/2020 22:41

Cruel to tortoises surely. I'd go with toad.

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 28/07/2020 22:43

Maximum toad.

PapsofJura · 28/07/2020 22:49

I find these posts quite hateful.

What have tortoises or even bullfrogs done to deserve such a comparison.

Manolin · 28/07/2020 22:49

Yes, I’ve always thought tortoise too. Perhaps with an element of Lester Piggott.

Manolin · 28/07/2020 22:51

And Zippy.

Elledouble · 28/07/2020 22:52

He’s always reminded me very strongly of this guy from the Disney Alice In Wonderland film.

Maybe he really is a tortoise and it's just that his mask is finally slipping.

MinnieMousse · 28/07/2020 22:54

I've always thought something in the Toad family. At least if he was a tortoise he could crawl back into his own shell.

Manolin · 28/07/2020 22:56

@Elledouble is that character called Bill or something, lizard that goes shooting up a chimney? Omg that brings back memories. The moom-raths?

BilboBercow · 28/07/2020 22:57

Toad of Toad Hall

RufustheSniggeringReindeer · 28/07/2020 22:58

Why are you being so mean to tortoises...

I have a tortoise and he’s beautiful...ish 😳

But certainly much more attractive than farage

YesItsMeIDontCare · 28/07/2020 22:59

I used to have a cat called Toad, he was lovely.

So quit with Nige comparisons 🤬

Elledouble · 28/07/2020 23:01

@Manolin yes - vaguely remember Alice mournfully saying “poor old Bill” after he’s fired up into the sky...

Fartleking · 28/07/2020 23:12

Yes.

Nigel Farage looks like a tortoise.
KittCat · 28/07/2020 23:56

Old frog face farage 🙃

NameChange84 · 29/07/2020 00:55

Now I can’t unsee it. I mean...yeah. Very reptilian.

ChristmasCarcass · 29/07/2020 01:11

You’re all wrong. Trout. Look at those lips, and bulging glassy eyes. Singing trout.

Tillygetsit · 29/07/2020 03:55

How very dare you. I have two beautiful tortoises who are extremely offended by your comparison.
He looks like a bullfrog.

Apolloanddaphne · 29/07/2020 05:24

I am sorry I have offended all tortoises. We had one when I was a child. Peak Blue Peter I believe.
