News 24 Tonight
I'm doing the paper review on News 24 tonight at 11.45pm if you're at all interested. Forgive the new short haircut. My regular hairdresser is away, and as I was starting to look like a shaggy dog I thought I'd better do something about it. Oh dear.
PS Does this haircut make you look more or less like a paedophile as identified by the sane man "Crap" or "Brad" or "Chad" or somesuch four letter word over at UKIP comedy central?
My sheer joy at humiliating the English... by Gordon Brown
He claimed Scotland were the real world champions because they beat Bobby Moore's heroes soon afterwards. And he revelled in the 'sheer joy of defeating the English at their own game'.
The Chancellor also saluted Scottish hooligans who tore up the Wembley turf and broke the crossbar after another victory over the English.
In an article entitled Why Scotland Means The World To Me, self-proclaimed "Tartan Army" member Mr Brown invokes ancient battlefield defeats by the English at Flodden and Culloden to explain why he enjoyed beating the Auld Enemy at football so much.
Blogged it with some pics here. The check shirt and the cheque) got a mention. And the haircut naturally. Whatever I may have said in my blog and more particularly above) about the scurilous UKIP allegations the only convicted paedophile I know usually had a haircut more like this New 24 one than the one on the Diary.
"the straight choice " you mean ,give it a few years and the truth will come out.Meanwhile I suppose we can assume that the Dale is engaged in his absinthe soaked sherbert sipping dalliance with a golden nubian boy . He`s not posting anyway. Grrrrr
Judging by your lack of activity this morning, I guess you must be as sick of Blogger as I am! I've set up a new blog on Wordpress as 'insurance', if Blogger does eventually force me onto the new format and I don't like it, at least I have somewhere else to go.
Sad that dave can't make up his mind on gay adopttion-or is he afraid of upsetting huncky duncky? Or is it that the focus group have not yet spoken? Reminds you a bit of that old one------I used to be indecisive but now i'm not so sure. Wonder how goes the piste in Davos?
11:28 AM I get the impression that Dave doesnt's want to be PM ,he seems to hate tv ,now Thatcher she really screwed us and asset stripped all our public companies,but she used tv ?
Newmania: As you believe Iain Dale looks like Rick Stein and he is a proud Jack Russell owner do you think you could find a useful Tory MP to blog an EDM in the House pointing this out? Possibly a mention of the check shirt and how this will put back adoption of digital TV by five years?
Iain - didn't you feel just a tad under-dressed compared with the other two? I assume the Beeb were putting you up for the night so doubtless the shirt (which looked like Ben Sherman remainder stock) doubled as pyjamas.
Can't wait.

Actually, your hair was an improvement, but that shirt ! I expected you to start singing the lumberjack song from Monty Python.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, Iain,
ReplyDeleteDoesn't that shirt just shout 'Duelling Banjoes'?
I heard you this time Iain
ReplyDeleteI thought I had a fault on my tv but it was just Iain's shirt :-)
you must stop wearing that multi-coloured tie
ReplyDeleteAs this blog is a non event :-)
ReplyDeleteI had a look at 10:11
I think our chancellor should slit his wrist's talk about looking bothway's
I noticed the other day that you are a lot like Risk Stein the amiable sea food chef and West Country luminary
ReplyDeleteNORFOLK said-Actually, your hair was an improvement, but that shirt !
Now he has to be gay. yes?Liberal probably its compulsory for them

ReplyDeleteDid you cut your own hair?
ReplyDeleteIain - didn't you feel just a tad under-dressed compared with the other two?

Ok, I admit it. the shirt was a mistake. Won't happen again. Promise.
ReplyDeleteAnd who says I wear pyjamas? :)
Look Iain it has been said, but that shirt!!! If Big brother had not been in the news then your shirt would have caused a major talking point!
