.. the TPA produced a "Political Trumps" playing card set, and the Tuscan, naturally, acquired a pack. Interesting to note the various attributes of the politicos (sample above), especially "Meeja Skills". How would such a pack score today?

Gordon Brown - media skills - oh, I dunno, Norway*?
*Norway = nil points
Mr Fawkes gave me a set
I have yet to open it
Receiving mysterious parcels from a chap calling himself "Guy Fawkes", Beast? Not postmarked Exeter, was it?
I shared a Lebanese dejeuner with G Fawkes today and all I will say is that Tom Strathclyde looks like an entrant in the wimmins olympic marathon compared to the Fawkester.
He might have had a great many parcels hidden about his girth, such was the expanse, but none came my way.
Suffice to say that he was in conventional good form and remains a very good lunch companion.
Idle - is the quality of your lunch the reason why Guido's left comment moderation off on his blog?
P.S. I am going to have to think of a shorter name for myself...
For 'a resident of the lake district said' may i suggest
'The Lakesider'or The Lakelander'
Idle - my informers tell me he's somewhere between John Candy and Mr Creosote, with a tendency to the Creosote. Hope you didn't offer the stout fellow a "waffeur theen meent"
resident - how about lakemeister?
adj - or indeed your suggestions...
They missed a category off Ed 'Balls' Balls:-
Twat - 100 points
Fleet - indeed. Gordo at 72 on media skills!?!??!!? If a week is a long time in politics, imagine what a mess Gordie could make of himself in a whole 52 of them!
adjshootist:
Good choice!
Slowly, but surely I'm back...
Most are woefully lacking in private sector experience, and I'm not sure what good Cameron's was anyway or if it even counts.
Exeter - it follows me around, I swear it.
Lakes, "wilkommen backen ein der blogspatz", as the Queen Mother might have put it.
E-K - oh, have you had odd looking chaps sidling up to you in pubs, proffering 2 "cider flasks", and suggesting you take them to Teignmouth Amusements and try mixing them together for "an explosive brew"?
It's all going off in Exeter.
Lilith - today Exeter, tomorrow Frome, the day after that, Somerton!
Tuscan, the only member of the Royal Family who would NOT have broken into german was the Queen Mum, god bless her, who was from aristocratic Angus stock.
Gordon a K, a Q surely ?
Idle - bah! Humbug! of the 250 Germans amongst the royals I could have picked, I fish out the only Scot. Sorry....
Haddock, a good spot that one. In Italy one of the suits, (spades, I think) is called "piccete", and pronounced a bit like pickhead". That would work.
Tuscan Tony: It's nice to be back. Watching the impending demise of Gay Gordon has put a fresh spring in my step this week. Schadenfreude isn't really like me, but for Gordon, I'm prepared to make an exception.
Idle: Tuscan Tony or The Beast of Clerkenwell could tell you why your last comment made me smile...
Lakes, get yer blog u 'n running again, even of only 1 post a week.
Idle - Lakelander is in fact a genetically modified cross - Aberdeen Angus and Thomas Tompion.
I'm not sure that was the info the lakelander was suggesting you divulge, tuscan. It hasn't helped me, anyway.
Are you an Angus fellow, lake? The idle DNA is dominated by Strathmore
Idle:
I have asked Tony to enlighten you by e-mail...
The Princess Hay Center
Princess Wa-hay now isn't it ?
(Scene of Exeter explosion)
E-K - Princess Indoctrination Centre.
