Tony Vs Gordon, Luxembourg and Bond, James Bond

Nothing funny is happening in the world. Nothing. Not a jot. Oh why couldn't Tony Blair become a woman this week?! That would have been funny. There would have been a lot of jokes about that. Thanks Tony. Thanks a lot!

Instead of becoming a woman, Tony is just bitching about the guy who took his job - nice:

It's not a fair thing. It's not a just thing. In fact, it's a stupid thing. But, nevertheless, the truth is, voters in the South East of England will never elect a Scottish Prime Minister. If Labour want to win the next election, Gordon's gotta go.

Country profiles. The BBC does country profiles on its website (yes, I know... but really, there wasn't anything funny - nothing!). This is the one for Luxembourg:

Ney ney ney, the Luxembourgers are not going to be happy. The BBC have described their beloved Luxembourgish language as a 'dialect of German' - great steaming turingers!!!!! That's gonna make you spill your Bofferding!

I also notice that both the expressions 'tax evasion' and 'fraud' are used in the country profile - now be fair BBC, we still have a functioning aristocracy and monarchy in our country... if that isn't a whooping example of both 'tax evasion' and 'fraud', what is?


Finally, test your James Bond knowledge...

8/10. Not good enough in my opinion. Not, 007 enough.

Schéinen Dag Nach!

(Luxembourgish for 'have a nice day' ...I don't think a Luxembouger has ever said that to me. I wonder why?)
