losing your hair- though for different reasons- tupping, ageing, and cursing (your own party)

Menzies Campbell was the loser in three seats. David Cameron was the loser in one seat and Iain Dale was the loser in one seat. You have all been defeated on the Election Battleground.
ReplyDeleteAlternatively, you all have Scottish ancestry.
Probably you have all been signed up for a re-run of a very old comedy sketch.
David Cameron (standing on a table) - I went to Eton. I am a descendant of William IV and Mrs Jordan. My father in law is a baronet. I am upper class. I look down on him. Looks at Sir Menzies Campbell.
Sir Menzies Campbell (standing on a soapbox) - I went to Glasgow University. I am a Queens Counsel (senior barrister). I married a Major-General's daughter. I am middle class. I look down on him. Looks at Iain Dale.
Iain Dale (slouched on Doughty Street sofa) - I am a blogger. I support "The Hammers". I love Margaret Thatcher. I am an "Essex Boy". I am working class. I look up to them (well, the upper class one at least).
You all drive Audis'?
ReplyDeleteIf that was a quick quiz question, I would hate to see one of your long, slow ones...
ReplyDeleteBe sure that you all three update your wikipedia entries to reflect this startling relevation...
Did you know Iain that a Menzies Campbell - the only one with much going for him on eBay - was a Professor of Dentistry in Bonny Scotland? Edinburgh I believe. So it's not right about the vasectomy? The link to the eBay item has now gone, alas, but another copy is available here. Open wide.
ReplyDeleteCould it be that none of your country estates has mains drainage?
ReplyDeleteIs this a subtle reminder of Gorgon's 'private' dental work ??
ReplyDeletePerhaps you should switch to his dentist !
Pull the other one Iain. You really expect us to believe that Ming Campbell has his own teeth?
ReplyDeleteOver a hundred posts. It proves your readers love quizzes - or just finding new ways to insult you!
ReplyDeleteThat's weird, I would have thought that Ming's teeth would have all fallen out by his age?
ReplyDeleteDavid Cameron, Ming Campbell and I all go to the same dental practice.
ReplyDeleteI could just kick myself for not having thought of that.
