For the benefit of your good self, I thought I’d better whisper in your pink and shell-like – lest you make an erroneous insertion when addressing a BNP rally say – that the word GIG stands (quite apart from the practice of spearing frogs, or a two wheeled sprung carriage) for a Geneva based group called the Gay International Group.
Now, it may be that you are in full possession of the above facts, and continue on with the ‘gig’ as a means of promoting greater understanding amongst the Swiss non-bendy-boy community, or indeed harbour a secret longing to lob a large pointy instrument at a frog – in which case I apologise for my impertinent interference.

You really are a fruit Esme :lol: :lol:

Okay Shazza, you’ve blown my cover. In real life, I’m a pineapple…all prickly on the outside, whilst inside…

…I’m cut into slices and made to rub me bits all over a succession of gammon steaks. It’s hell I tell you…sheer hell…what with being vegetarian and allergic to being sat on a plate with nowt more to cover me embarrassment than a dollop of smash and a spoonful of minted peas.

As I recall, we (the UK) put him into power decades ago. We even knighted him. His correct title is “Sir Robert Mugabe”

He is behaving no worse than numerous other African politicians / despots have done or currently are doing.

How about we just leave him alone to get on with it, let him run his own country as he sees fit and focus instead on the UK’s problems???

You’re damn right, we DID put him into power decades ago (although in fact whilst made an honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath, Mugabe’s not at liberty to use the title “Sir”, merely use the letters KCB post nominally) and greased the palms and equipped the armies of many other despots – including Saddam Hussein – over the years.
I’m not actually arguing for our interference in Zimbabwean affairs so much as I’m appalled at the hypocrisy which allows Britain and America to hang Saddam Hussein and lay waste to Iraq under lesser – if any – provocation. And we all know why!
Thus, my question is more by way of a rhetorical rant, than begging a reply.

I agree with your sentiments entirely, Waspish.(well, with the exception of your HIV comments) In fact, I expounded on the topic in Current Affairs prior to spotting your own here.
Hey ho, the more of us who stick it to the evil auld bugger, the better! :twisted:

Ignorance profound
always mocking those who try
do you have a heart?

Oh heartless me that dares to mock
when all around will flatter
with sophistry and poppycock
to redefine the matter
which being..
that the pretty word
must do much more than caper
and skitter like a flightless bird
across the precious paper.
Heartstopping art of brevity
beyond the navel-gazing
jaw-dropping grief or levity
raw rage with all-guns blazing
contained within a stanza, stories
withered to a word,
the sweat soaked page of glories
growing wings
back on the bird.

My grandnephew’s mum is back in hospital with peurperal psychosis.

I wish her well, Minim, there are few things worse than this, especially at what should be a happy time for the family. Hopefully, rest, reassurance and the necessary medications will restore her to good health and back home to her loved ones before too long.

D’oh! I do wish you wouldn’t ask these awkward questions when I’ve just swallowed a truth drug!

Okay.. so there’s his patented pose : luscious lips pursed, chiseled cheeks sucked in, narrow left eye gazing gorgeously over his right shoulder!
