Lionel Blair

[Louisa]

I was lucky enough to see Lionel Blair in Dulwich Village this morning (though he had sunglasses on so didnt want to risk looking a fool incase it was someone else haha) :)

[Jah Lush]

Was he wearing a pair of Lionel's though?

[dulwichmum]

I thought he was dead!

[Michael Palaeologus]

He is and has been for some 30 years or more.

[Louisa]

He was hosting 'give us a clue' back in the 70s/80s and still does panto most years.. He's getting on a bit now though

I thought he was supposed to be at an EU summit?

[Louisa]

Flash forward 20 years and a similar forum thread may well be in existance about the present PM, and the story may well be very similar... :)

20 years is feasible, the Hague tend to give comparatively lenient sentences.

[Michael Palaeologus]

I like their Vanilla ice cream

I understand Lionel is going to be made Middle East Peace Envoy. What a marvellous idea, this could be just the left field event that can cut the Gordian Knot.

Lionel Blair - Before we discuss the possibilty of a genuine two-state solution.... * motions with arms *

Ehud Olmert - A film, three words

* does sleeping motion followed by sweeping motion *

Ismail Haniya - Bedknobs and Broomsticks?

* points to nose and Hamas leader who high fives Mahmoud Abbas *

Ismail Haniya - In your face Ehud, we get Ramallah.

-----------------------------

Hmm, on second thoughts...

[dulwichmum]

Gosh Mr Mockney,

I find intelligent men terribly attractive!

Say Ramallah again - go on, slowly...

[Michael Palaeologus]

Ramallah-lama-lama-ding-dong

[Dannyboy]

Would that be Lionel Blair, former competitor on 'Give Us a Clue', who once got himself into trouble as he tried to pull off Twelve Angry Men in two minutes? (No apologies for blatant Radio 4 gameshow plagiarism, but still not as good as Mockney's gag).
