If anyone is having trouble sleeping, five minutes reading Littlejohn's column should soon have you in the land of nod.

The worst job I ever had was as an Ed Milliband lookalike...says the man who bore an uncanny resemblance to a washed-up Friar Tuck when last seen on Question Time.

He still doesn't get it. It's not the job, it's the fact that it was unpaid. Would he like to write his drivel for nothing?

John Smith's Quentin Letts tribute act continues -

Quote:
LJ should lay off the pop if he thinks that a choice between Poundland and Politics would ensure a queue outside all those stores! Just the opposite! Where else could some thick dumbo, who wouldn't even get as far as an interview with Poundland, manage to nail down one of the UK's cushiest jobs, with salaries and pensions you can decide for yourself, endless exes, and 3 months holdays a year - and all available if you you can con a few thousand mugs to vote for you - after promising them the earth! And just the same with a replacement for Red - no lack of candidates as LJ would suggest - Yvette and hubby would meet at dawn, pistols cocked for the chance, and then the survivor would have to beat off Andy Pandy, The Postman, Carolne F. Mad Hattie and al the rest. And the worst job in the world? The winner, trying to convince the rest of us that 1997 to 2010 was just a dream!
- John Smith , Birmingham, England, 16/1/2012 22:42


He he, he said "beat off".

For a moment there I thought he was talking about Littlejohn himself.

I'd love to know which politicians he thinks couldn't get a job in Poundland. I'd like then to set up the pair of them in some sort of IQ test and laugh at the results.

Worth a bash...

The first time was unfunny enough. After that, pure tedium as a torture, They couldn't pay me enough to keep me, Dick, if they paid me as much as you. You'll be glad to hear that I've now become a hopscotch teacher to disabled lesbian immigrants. Mind how you go.

Poor Old Wob's post has been deemed too close to Richie's nether regions and mercilessly stopped at the DM gate by the online Dacre thought-police. It was then handed an orange jump suit and herded into a correction facility never to be spoken of again. See it here Mailwatchers!

In - and 33 in the red! Huzzah! Along with several smarmy, willfully point-missing replies saying "well, no one's FORCING you to read it, you silly boy, ah hur hur hur". They really DON'T like it up 'em. do they?

Congrats to Jim, also, for his sterling comeback to Guardy.

This is Smiffy responding to some idiot whinging about Thai expats' pensions:
Quote:
MIKE BELL of THAILAND 2.42, like so many of those fair-weather "patriots" have got a brass neck in expecting the rest of us to cough-up even more so that they can support some other country, rather than the one they have chosen to abandon! And then too, expecting some newspaper to campaign for their "right" to stick their hands into the pockets of the rest of us who Do support our own country, for even more hand-outs to pass on to their new best-friends! After turning their backs on the UK to scuttle off to a "better" country - just let them try scrounging some extra cash from their new hosts and see just how far they get with them! This country has given all these chancers the opportunity to accumulate enough resources to be able to consider such expense - and yet they choose instead to benefit some other country instead of the one that provided those resources! Whe gave them the name Ex- "Patriots"? Surely a mis-nomer? Ex-citizens is more descriptive!
- John Smith , Birmingham, England,

It's still turgid and illiterate, but for the first time I found myself hitting the green arrow for a Smiffy posting. It hurt, though.

Ahem. It's "expatriates" (former resident of country), not "ex-patriots" (former cunt). Illiterate indeed.

It's possible he punched well above his usual standard and managed a play upon words.
