A diverse offering twixt the interesting, the unusual, and the amusing.

Doppelgänger No 15¾ (a 2016 Special).
Lord Haw-Haw (Leader of the UK's national Socialist Party)
Jeremy Haw-Haw (Children's TV presenter, and circus ringmaster)
A 'striking' resemblance, I'm sure you'll agree. Lots of fun to come in 2016, especially on Wednesdays when little Jeremy attempts to read children's letters live on lunchtime TV.
When I look at pictures of Jeremy, my only thought is "What on earth went wrong?".
Voters who want increased handouts, maybe; but not too many others. Most wish to protect their hard-earned assets, and I can't see any of them wanting him around.
Good. Your 'neighbours' seem to be out of control, yet, as usual, as soon as one of them is shot, the pro-Hamas people are instantly out complaining. It's a strange world.
At least he did sing the National Anthem finally. (perhaps he didn't know the words the first time and had to go home and learn them). I ask - does he want a republic instead of a monarchy and if so, does he see himself as the chief?
Have you noticed how people underline a dislike of others by choosing to publish the worst possible photos of them?
Not, of course, that you are mean or anything. And please do keep snivelling Rachel out of my hair. John taught me a forgettable lesson: A friend of his is beyond criticism. Because she is his friend. Well, I never.
Other than that, Cro, in and outside your blog, may 2016 bring many more wild mushrooms to your paradise. Greetings to Lady M. I too made a frangipane. Unfortunately I let it out of my sight (sidetracked by a blogger's comment) at the crucial moment of setting. It still tastes great if not a sight behold.
THE BELLS ..... THE BELLS ..........

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
My friend Red Mel fancies him! x
ReplyDeleteMaybe he/she feels sorry for him?
DeleteRed Mel fancies him - when did she last go to Spec Savers?
DeleteShe did say on Saturday that she needs new glasses!
DeleteThat explains everything!
DeleteHi Cro, I don't know him, but he DOES resemble!
ReplyDeleteHe's the newly installed, extreme left wing, leader of the UK's Labour Party. Well-meaning, but totally unelectable (thank goodness).
DeleteI do hope we'll never find out what went wrong...but I wouldn't bet on it. Voters are a fickle lot.
ReplyDeleteVoters who want increased handouts, maybe; but not too many others. Most wish to protect their hard-earned assets, and I can't see any of them wanting him around.
DeleteWell Cro, I think you just answered my question of what an extreme left wing Labour party member espouses.
DeleteCan't say much about England's politics. just want you to know that i am still here:)
ReplyDeleteGood. Your 'neighbours' seem to be out of control, yet, as usual, as soon as one of them is shot, the pro-Hamas people are instantly out complaining. It's a strange world.

ReplyDeleteI've no idea what he wants, but he'll promise the world to get him there.
DeleteHe is a capitalist pig just like all the rest of us he just pretends he isn't.
ReplyDeleteHe's got to get votes somehow!
DeleteI usually don't comment on the politics of another country as I don't know enough or anything about these people, but I agree that they do look alike.
ReplyDeleteYou win a prize, they are the same man!
DeleteThat is a scary resemblance, hope they don't share the same politics, your Jeremy is scary enough without that.
ReplyDeleteThey're both scary; see above!
DeleteHave you noticed how people underline a dislike of others by choosing to publish the worst possible photos of them?
ReplyDeleteNot, of course, that you are mean or anything. And please do keep snivelling Rachel out of my hair. John taught me a forgettable lesson: A friend of his is beyond criticism. Because she is his friend. Well, I never.

Happy 2016,
U
Choosing the worst possible photo is all part of the fun; I learnt it from the left-wing press!
DeleteSorry, I can't help you re other bloggers. My only advice is to be honest without being offensive.
I was quite excited about the effect he would have on our tired old British politics when he first came in. Sadly he just has met expectations.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for more comedy, sadly he's let me down and I simply find him dull and puerile.
