The future in the Coffee Grounds.

coffe house

Isn’t this clever?

It is now five minutes to three in the afternoon, the Prime Minister isn’t even in the chamber – and the Spectator started telling us what he said three hours ago!

PMQs starts in five minutes chaps. Getting the time wrong is one thing – but claiming to be reporting what he hasn’t said yet three hours ago?

I once knew a hack on the Manchester Evening News who filed a report on a soccer night-mtach that was called off du to fog. It was almost on the presses before anyone noticed.
Do we imagine anyone noticed that either (a) PMQs were at 3pm or (b) spotted any difference between this one and a dozen repeats? Seems unlikely to me.
‘They’re off. Cameron asks question, one-eyed Trouser Snake ignores it. Vice Versa. Labour toady asks question about defacing war memorials. OETS syndrome intones solemnly about how awful it is and promises to lift war memorials out of graffiti…..’

well spotted, would have loved it if they had made the whole thing up. Considerably more credible than the actual thing I suspect.

Perhaps they’ll inform their readers of next week’s Lottery Numbers?

Didn’t Guido nail this one this morning?

So perhaps coffee doesn’t sharpen one’s wits after all….

Look at the dust in here, anyone would think Ms Raccoon had been dragged up.

Maybe the French plumber flooded the computer?

Woe betide anyone I see wearing a Davey Crockett hat ….

It’s OK, Davey Crockett hasn’t got Ms Raccoon – the flu has got her instead.

She’ll be back as soon as she can.

Get Well Soon Ms Raccoon!

Davey Crockett – King of the wild front ear.
Anna Raccoon – Queen of the wild front bottom.

Vive la Raccoon!

That’s what you get when you chase sheep round a water logged field :-)

Take care of yourself Anna.
