Yarooh!

You think of silly things in traffic.




“It’s just not fair, Mr Speaker. That bully Brown and his gang of common oiks have been pinching our stuff and won’t give it back.” Bemoaned an exasperated Cameron, hero of Blue House.

 

Bully Brown, his lower jaw working overtime, said nothing.

 

“We’ve all stayed up really late, long after supper, with no tuck. We even stayed up after lights out, with Foxy keeping guard at the dorm door in case one of the Whips was sneaking about, and we came up with some simply smashing ideas. We had nine or ten really wizard wheezes and now Brown’s pinched the lot. The bally rags keep saying we’ve got no policies. Well it’s not true we’ve got absolutely loads but Brown’s filched 'em and he just won't give 'em back!

 

I’d just like to say, Mr Speaker, that if the Fat Owl and his spazzo mates try to nick any more of our stuff there’ll be trouble. I won’t say what, but he’ll be sorry! And if he keeps fibbing that they were all his ideas, well…. He’s a rotter and a stinker and he’ll get what he deserves when I’m Head Boy.”

 

Mr Speaker coughed gently: “It appears that the honourable member for Witney has just called the honourable member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath a liar. The honourable member for Witney is aware of the rules in this House and will have to retract this slur”

 

“Shan’t”

 

Bully Brown, looking more like a moonstruck calf than ever, allowed himself a small smile.

Lovely stuff. Whatever happened to Billy Bunter? No mention of Mr Quelch and his gimlet eye though! Most enjoyable! 
 
Cheers

British politics... Every time when those MPs shout "Yeeeeeah! or "Boooooo!" they make a funny caricature of themselves... Taiwanese and Italians beat eachother up in parliament, British shout like schoolboys. This brought it accross clearly, yet as I have no idea about British politics except for that, I don't know what Brown exactly stole...

Ah, I often wonder what happened to Gerald Campion. Nice take on the schoolboy happenings in the House. Thought this might have been better placed in the Comedy section though, but still an enjoyable read. 
 
Cheers

Nice one Gill. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed that funny thing Brown does with his chin - quite disturbing!

Sorry Wilts, unless you're mid sex change, I believe your name is Tony. 
 
Put that handbag down! :grin

Something terribly strange is happening. 
 
And no, Phil, not down below! 
 
You wait all day for a review and then you get 5 emails at once.  
 
Chris: Cavé! I can hear Mr Quelch now! 
 
Fledermaus: "Biffer" Brown is supposed to have stolen all of "Camp" David's policies and claimed them as his own. 
 
Roger: Never sure, if it's News related, where to put it for the best. Oh! Gerald Campion. He's behind the pavilion stuffing his fat face. (Apparently his Mum sent him all manner of tuck, including a cherry cake) 
 
Phil: Your narrow minded attitude makes it very difficult for a poor girl who's just trying to get through the required two years living as a woman before being allowed the op. But, Brown? It's very odd. As though he's entered the world's slowest cud chewing championships and is making a game go of it. 
 
Thanks to one and all. 
 
Tony

Very enjoyable. You pretty much got the style perfect. Campion's terribly upmarket these days, posh club in Soho, send him this and he might let you in, or not. Well done, Janice.

I was sure I'd posted a review for this! Good fun to hear about those beastly chaps at the Commons and all their jolly japes.
