Ha!

See? That wasn't so hard.

StephaniePowers · 18/04/2013 15:47

I still think he's headed for a breakdown.
I see I'm in the minority but you mark my words

MarmaladeTwatkins · 18/04/2013 15:53

Sheshelob, let's get MARRIED.

When people say "It says more about the people saying it than the person they're saying it about" what does that actually mean? If I was to say "Look, that Robery Mugabe. I saw some footage of him crying over a burning orphanage the other week. What is he playing at crying over burned orphans when he's responsible for some of the worst atrocities in recent history" would people say "Well just because you don't like his policies (arf!) leave the man to cry over burned orphans in peace. It says more about you than it does about him that you're mocking him. Even Mugabe is entitled to cry every now and then."

I think it just means you're a bit dense and aren't capable of critical thinking.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 18/04/2013 15:53

Agree, Stephanie. He is a man on the edge.

NC78 · 18/04/2013 15:56

I couldn't possibly hate him any more. I did, however, nearly puke when I saw him blubbing.

squoosh · 18/04/2013 15:59

I pray to God that any breakdown will be televised. Hopefully during PM's question time.

StephaniePowers · 18/04/2013 16:02

Someone said 'queasy' downthread and that is how it made me feel.
It's a funeral
He's crying
He's presumably got feelings
It was public and I assume he didn't want to blub in public

But
He's off the scale vile, dense, unpleasant

Therefore I am left queasy at the thought that I'm required by nothing more than convention to feel sympathy for a man at a funeral crying in public. I don't feel it. I loathe everything about him and everything he misguidedly stands for. What he is responsible for totally trumps convention and sentiment.

This picture encapuslates everything that pissed me off about yesterday

It's got Gideon looking like a hateful, waxy-faced nobend, SamCam doing that weird smirk that she did all the way through and Dave looking like an out-of-date slab of gammon.

limitedperiodonly · 18/04/2013 16:04

If he does have a breakdown I expect he'll be passed fit for work by ATOS.

Sheshelob · 18/04/2013 16:05

I can it now: naked, smeared in his own shit, trying to mount John Bercow while mumbling the words to HMS Pinafore.

twatkins I DO! Can we have the wedding in a playground?

MarmaladeTwatkins · 18/04/2013 16:06
Wink
Sheshelob · 18/04/2013 16:07

twatkins Gammon!!!!!!

The cabinet is like the contents of an Iceland chiller on the blink.

Grin Heh heh heh!

You ain't kidding.

Cameron - hunk of pink gammon (produce of Lithuania)

Clegg - Quorn sausage (never looks completely cooked)

Danny Alexander - bag of mini kievs

StephaniePowers · 18/04/2013 16:12

Oh dear, that picture
That's DC's pulling face, isn't it?

MarmaladeTwatkins · 18/04/2013 16:15

Imagine Dave's "sex face"

No, actually, don't. Unless you want to lose a lot of weight by loss of appetite.

squoosh · 18/04/2013 16:16

Michael Gove - bright pink, smiley faced, luncheon meat.

cornyponydash · 18/04/2013 16:18

sam cam - prawn platter

Owllady · 18/04/2013 16:19

I think the tears were to do with an earlier wallpaper cut and nothing to do with Margaret at all

squoosh · 18/04/2013 16:22

Maybe he was crying because a poor person had touched him and he'd run out of antibacterial gel.

Wallison · 18/04/2013 16:22

Speaking of sex faces, I think the tear was Osborne's sex face. I just bet he had a little chubby on.

squoosh · 18/04/2013 16:26

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ME PICTURE OSBORNE'S COCK!

(too late)

Wallison · 18/04/2013 16:30

My work here is done.

limitedperiodonly · 18/04/2013 16:31

You really should feel ashamed of yourself now

Wallison · 18/04/2013 16:32

That's what he always says as well.
