Gaffe of the Air

Sky News Cameron gaffe By Rosa Prince Political Correspondent 30/10/2007

Newsreader Julie Etchingham made an embarrassing on-air gaffe yesterday when she was overheard mocking Tory immigration plans.

The Sky broadcaster joked to colleagues that the Conservatives had a policy of "extermination".

Etchingham, 37, was watching David Cameron deliver a hardline speech on immigration during her live morning show. The Tory leader said: "Let me outline the action that a Conservative government would take. As we have seen, some of the increase in population size results from natural change - birth rates, death rates. Here our policy

At that point Etchingham was clearly heard quipping: "Extermination!"

Sky News apologised, saying: "The off-the-cuff remark was regrettable and not intended for broadcast".

Isn't Uncle Sam Great?

Breaking News.

Government has ordered the first of a new class of frigit, the Lesbos class. Specially designed to protect dykes on Dartmoor, with no need for engines as they can't go anywhere, no need for armaments because the mist will defend it, also gun drill is outlawed under health ans safety legislation and gun manuals place in museums alongside Naval guns from Coventry; just nice and cosy double bunks and soothing music instead of pipes. Royal Marines will no longer be required to protect the Officers from the rabble as no-one knows who the rabble is - future King Billy and his drunkard pals, never! They would never have got a look in, in the old Blue Pig and the proper rough cider at 11d per pint (that's less then 5 pence in this Mickey Mouse money). Green Berets will be presented to all females who fail the Commando course more than twice, cadets over seventeen stone, DJ's and ancient camera men, and the Army Intelligence Corp - does oxymoron mean nothing?
School children will have to learn that Nottingham is an isolate rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with £240m of scrap dumped on it.

Blind Man in a Biker Bar

A blind man wanders into an “all girls” biker bar by mistake.

He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee.

After sitting there for a while, he yells to the waiter, 'Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?' The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, 'Before you tell that joke, sir, I think it is only fair -- given that you are blind -- that you should know five things:

1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.

2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.

3. I'm a 6 foot tall, 175 lb. Blonde woman with a black belt in karate.

4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weightlifter.

5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.

Now, think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?'



The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and mutters, 'No... Not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.'

The Fighting Temeraire
Henry Newbolt

It was eight bells ringing,
For the morning watch was done,
And the gunner’s lads were singing
As they polished every gun.
It was eight bells ringing,
And the gunner’s lads were singing,
For the ship she rode a-swinging,
As they polished every gun.

Oh! to see the linstock lighting,
Temeraire! Temeraire!
Oh! to hear the round shot biting,
Temeraire! Temeraire!

Oh! to see the linstock lighting,
And to hear the round shot biting,
For we’re all in love with fighting
On the fighting Temeraire.

It was noontide ringing,
And the battle just begun,
When the ship her way was winging,
As they loaded every gun.
It was noontide ringing,
When the ship her way was winging,
And the gunner’s lads were singing
As they loaded every gun.

There’ll be many grim and gory,
Temeraire! Temeraire!
There’ll be few to tell the story,
Temeraire! Temeraire!

There’ll be many grim and gory,
There’ll be few to tell the story,
But we’ll all be one in glory
With the Fighting Temeraire.

There’s a far bell ringing
At the setting of the sun,
And a phantom voice is singing
Of the great days done.
There’s a far bell ringing,
And a phantom voice is singing
Of renown for ever clinging
To the great days done.

Now the sunset breezes shiver,
Temeraire! Temeraire!
And she’s fading down the river,
Temeraire! Temeraire!

Now the sunset’s breezes shiver,
And she’s fading down the river,
But in England’s song for ever
She’s the Fighting Temeraire.

Australia V. England - no wonder they keep winning

AUSTRALIAN BUSH ETIQUETTE

IN GENERAL.
1. Never take an open stubby to a job interview.
2. Always identify people in your paddocks before shooting at them. 3. It's tacky to take an esky to church. 4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets. 5. Even if you're certain you're included in the will, it's rude to take your Ute and trailer to the funeral.

DINING OUT
1. When decanting wine from the cask, tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to bruise the wine. 2. If drinking directly from the bottle, hold it with only one hand.

ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME
1. A centrepiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist. 2. Don't allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners are.

PERSONAL HYGIENE
1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this should be done in private, using ones OWN Ute keys. 2. Even if you live alone, deodorant isn't a waste of money. 3. Extensive use of deodorant can only delay bathing by a few days. 4. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a no-no; it alters the taste of finger foods and if you are a woman it can draw attention away from your jewellery.

DATING
1. Always offer to bait your date's hook - especially on the first date. 2. Be assertive. Let her know you're interested: "I've been wanting to go out with you ever since I read that stuff on the dunny door two years ago." 3. Establish with her parents what time she's expected back home. Some will say 11:00 PM, others might say "Monday." If the latter is the answer, it's the man's responsibility to withdraw from the date ASAP.

THEATRE ETIQUETTE
1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up after the movie ends. 2. Refrain from yelling abuse at characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can't hear you.

WEDDINGS
1.. Livestock is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
2. Kissing someone's bride for more than five seconds may cause a drop in your popularity. 3. The groom, at least, should rent a tux. A tracksuit, even with a cummerbund and a clean football jumper, can create a tacky appearance. 4. Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for that sorta occasion.

DRIVING ETIQUETTE
1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if your guns are loaded and the roo is in your rifle sight. 2. When entering a roundabout, the vehicle with the largest roobar doesn't always have the right of way. 3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape. 4. When sending your wife down the road with a petrol can, it's impolite to ask her to bring back beer too.

Excuse me! Australia 10 England 12 ehehehehhheeeheehhee - no gloating we are English!

Brown follows Blair's lead.

Silly season really is here.
The major parties are nit picking over words. The PM is flown around with a squadron of helicoptors as escort. Soldiers fighting battles in Afghanistan have no air cover...

How the Conservatives treat their true members

Come on Margaret. You have been around long enough to know that politics do not exist in Blackpool. You either tow the line or you are out.
Whenever has anyone in Conservative Central Office listened to anything anyone has said unless it eminated from Eton College?
Suggestion. Make your rock and have Eton Mafia enbossed in BLUE.
