Friday Factoid



You cannot tickle yourself.

The Tuscan, after 42 years on the planet, was advised of this extraordinary fact yesterday, and it is deffo true, mes braves, as 20 minutes of experimentation this morning has conclusively proved.

Meantime, read this, a rather well written sketch in The Telegraph on Mrs Blair, which includes this observation re Gordie B, which did indeed manage to tickle the Tuscan no end:
'Mr Duncan Smith said [black] boys from such families join gangs because "if you go home, there's no father in your life, and if there is he's a dysfunctional character who arrives every now and then with a bit of money". This sounds just like [Gordon] Brown.'
Friday Compo to follow later this morning.

That's a great article and a scriptwriter couldn't have come up with that dialogue.

The obvious really needs explaining to Ms Blair - in fact no, just get rid of the whole bloody lot and their warped ideas.

The fact is that in life ideological impasses are reached and no amount of discussion will loosen either side. The one happy with the status quo caused by the intellectual log-jam wins - in this case social Marxists. Meanwhile the wrecking goes on unabated.

Tony Soprano would know what to do about it.

i disagree a bit tuscan...i have hives that sometimes happen on the bottom of my feet and when i would itch them it would tickle me horribly...however i am no longer ticklish anywhere so i don't have that issue any longer...

Hmmm. Not sure about this. When I tried this in the library at my club over lunch, I'm afraid it caused some disquiet among the staff. Whilst they have agreed not to inform the secretary that a member was discovered "touching himself", I don't think they bought the excuse that it was innocent research into a question posed by an Englishman in Italy.

PS

For a dreadful moment I thought you had posted a piccy of the Tuscana wearing webbing, in a compromising position.

Then I realised that her taste surely precludes such a vulgar sofa.

daisy - the hives tickle of themselves; let me try and find the article which was *interesting*

Idle - a higher standard of behaviour from you is expected at the East Worthing Darts 'n Whelk Fanciers Club, as you well know. Tsk tsk tsk. Re the pic , regrettably her good taste in furniture does not apply similarly to her taste in husband, a decidedly vulgar fellah that Tuscan, as you know.

Beast, there is an unwritten rule on this blog (except when I forget) to avoid any reference to the Japanese and their bizarre behavour and general oddness; too much of a giant field of fun to be had there, for such a small and 'umble blog.

idle said...

That's not the only thing you can beat, beast.

Idle, I was taught by the master.
Thanks for the online hints, your cheque is in the post.

Mrs Blair does indeed come from a broken home and doesn't (as far as we know), roam the streets of a nightin a feral gang.
She did, however pose semi-nude for a portrait, showing her f...y though....Tch tch how coarse is that?
However, Wasn't the 'Boy Euan' found semi conscious, in a pool of vomit, then arrested by the Metropolitan Police, for being drunk and incapable?

Also, what was the 'hush up' about the daughter, Katherine and The 'London Bridge Incident'?....

That family sounds a bit dysfunctional to me, and they are a two parent family!
Not quite sure of the parental gender though.
As Clarissa Dickinson Wright has intimated, in her recent Book, that Tony was known as 'Miranda' when he worked in the same Barristers Chambers as her.
Apparently he had an eye for the Boys.

I rest my case, My Lord Tusc!

I'd heard that TB's daughter tried to top herself.

Tuscan Tony said...

idle, indeed not, and as Beast suggests, he is an expert in that unique field.

Trubes, indeed, apparently so, and as anon hints at, mysterious goings on seem to have occurred (possibly, perhaps) in 2004 or thereabouts with a sibling. Very sad and distressing, TB was close to resigning from the post, which would have brought on the Brown Terror 3 years early, of course...!

hitch you really need to let lose of the clown thing...it is a sickness not entertainment at the sites you are frequenting...

Daisy
Am I the only man who gets wood when he hears Gracie fields sing
"send in the clowns"?
I think not,

Ms Smack said...

Dear god. I'd pee all over the sofa if someone did that to me.....

Tuscan Tony said...

Daisy, he needs the clown thing like Joan Collins needs lamb's blood injecitons. Its an age thing.

Beast - you are.

Ms S - maybe that was what was wanted in the case pictured!
