Saint Andrew's Day Festivities!

Well, it's Saint Andrew's Day and I am going to eat Haggis, Tatties n neeps, and boiled cabbage. Maybe I'll watch Andrew Marr's The Making of Modern Britain, Since I am alone in the city place, not to mention that I am south of the border--my wife asked if Andrew Marr is Scottish.

What a stupid question!

I didn't really think about it, but Andrew is Scottish! What a way to celebrate St. Andrew's Day. Eating haggis, drinking whisky, and watching The Making of Modern Britain on DVD.

Personally, it would be more fun to have him and his family around to drink some Scotch than watch him on the the tube, but.

I'll just have to make do. But it would be fun to have him come around wearing a Cameron of Lochiel kilt and 1972-era stripy Man at C&A tank-top.

Sorry, but you'll have to imagine Andrew in a kilt.

More Andrew Marr!

THIS IS THE EVIL FACE OF SOCIALISM

How do you feel about cosmetic surgery? For me, no. For better or worse, and it's mostly worse, I am what I am. I don't have a face that's handmade for television, but I seem to have survived.

Oh, Andy, we love you for who you are!

I know these blokes!

Red Andy, Andrew Marr or the evil face of Socialism, and Boo Hewerdine



I was trying to find the Bible on youtube



To the girl with the gun,
I leave my loneliness



Andrew, you've been called worse!

Sorry, Andrew, but...

Yet another distraction for when I am watching Andrew Marr, I can think of him looking like this guy: Bibo!

It's hard to watch The Making of Modern Britain and think of the guy as some sort of cartoon character.

Then, this Nazi from the Telegraph writes this nasty review of The Making of Modern Britain. I mean it's pretty obvious that Charles Moore is some form of reactionary from his review of the show. Not to mention the Telegraph is pretty right wing (but I still like reading it).

I mean Marr makes me seem Conservative, but Moore really goes overboard when it comes to trashing 'Red Andy'.

Well, all I can say is "Here, you look just like that Andrew Marr... you poor bugger."

Cartoons!

It seems like my life is fast becoming like the film Volere Volare, where the protagonist sees himself living in a cartoon. I should blame this on spending time in Belgium where bande dessinée is the national art form.

I was going to make a comment that Boris Johnson (top left) looks like a character from the Beano. A bleach blonde version of Dennis the Menace (right). I think it's the hair. Or maybe the eyes.

It seems that Private Eye agrees with me on this. They referred to The Spectator as "The Hasbeano", with the Spectator's editor Boris Johnson becoming "Boris the Menace".

I prefer Boris to Red Ken who sort of reminded me of Peter Bowles when he had hair and a moustache.

Not sure what Stephen Fry is doing in this picture, but I do think QI is brilliant. A Fred Flintstone look alike perhaps?

Andrew Marr (top right) is a brilliant journalist. I've started watching his "The Making of Modern Britain" which is interesting, but I am beginning to see I am not as much of a lefty as I think. This show is really oriented toward "democracy". I think that the belief in my being left leaning comes from living in the US which seems to be turning more and more into a facist nation.

Anyway, I think he looks like a cartoon with the ears. I thought I could come up with a "good" picture, but short of a screen capture, I don't think one will show up in a picture search.

I can't help thinking of the Yellow Kid (right) when I see Marr on the screen. It seems that he once was approached by a man in a shop who said, "Here, you look just like that Andrew Marr... you poor bugger."

Marr claims he was once mistaken for Vladimir Putin. Sorry, Andrew, but Putin looks more like Dobby the House Elf than you. Unfortunately, that similarity caused an international crisis.

Now, I just have to steer clear of Toontown.
