Uncooked pastry and wallpaper paste.

I am reminded of both everytime I see him.

with little rosy cheeks and lips painted on, in manner of eighteenth century fop.

Grin

but he was genuinely shocked that wealthy people don't pay much tax, apparently. Despite being heir to a wallpaper fortune. Hmm

He always looks like he's got a whiff of something unpleasant.

A poor person probably.

ClaireFromWork · 10/04/2012 13:56

Edam that's because it is puff pastry dough and not a shortcrust, I reckon.

I read somewhere once a description of George that said he looked' like a Victorian aristocrat about to ravish the parlour maid'.

He does have a Victorian face and a fnar fnar expression.

I always think he looks very clammy to the touch, there'd be a lot of seepage if you pressed against his skin.

I will say this on record however. I have no intention of pressing my skin to George Osbourne's skin. Ever.

I always mistake him for Data the android in Star Trek.

ClaireFromWork · 10/04/2012 14:14

Like being ravished by the pillsbury dough man.

He consists entirely of fifty pound notes, cleverly fashioned into the shape of an ego-maniac, through the power of macrame.

Ugh - he gives me the creeps!

Always looks so smarmy and sneery...when he tries to smile he looks like a vampire about to strike!

I've nicknamed him Smug Osborne as he always looks just that when he's trying defend some awful policy or another as "Fair & Good for the Economy"

I just can't believe that he is surprised that there are so many rich tax-dodgers Isn't this one of the things he should know ?

ShatnersBassoon · 10/04/2012 14:48

He smells like pomanders. And floral lozenge sweets.

He does, but I think the 45p gambit has forced him to make a play on it.

DH read out his shocked quote that some people don't pay enough tax to me this morning after making sure that I didn't actually have (undeserved slightly-stale value bread) food in my mouth in case I choked on it.

But I didn't. I had toasted the last of it for the DC and the goat

I still spluttered. Thank Christ my morning gruel was 90% water!
