6th April 2008, as the world watches, mortified yet scarily passive about Magube’s “re-election”:
President Mugabe gives a speech on world peace. He opens up by saying “I hate guns”, as someone behind him holds a gun up to his ear and fires a blank. Mugabe’s stunned reaction reminds me of “I can’t believe you’ve done this”. After recovering from the initial shock, he bursts into tears, holding his head in his hands in humiliation and embarrassment.
For those of you wondering what “I can’t believe you’ve done this” is, here you go. The exact facial expression I’m on about is just at 8 seconds when his face comes back in view of the camera with a look of frustration:
I couldn’t help but feel angry about how we try to justify the Iraqi, Afghan and potential Iranian wars in the name of democracy and liberty, yet we let this guy so blatantly pillage his own nation.
Penguin-Geese hybrids riding bikes (usually with stabilisers) and tricycles break into McDonalds, and steal all the orange tango.
Well like I said, they do get humorously bizarre, if a little short and sweet. The McDonalds in question was the one on the Oakenshaw roundabout, Redditch, notorious as a hub for chavs meeting in the car park showing off their latest alloys, in a town famous for having the highest rate of teenage pregnancies, ASBO’s and “pimped up rides” per head of population.
Oakenshaw McDonalds, on a seemingly chav-free day. I can't blame them for loving this place, we've all had our fun here. My mate Stu once spun out roughly where the turquoise car is.
For those that were wondering what a goose-penguin hybrid looks like, well, the bottom half was a goose, the top half of the body was a penguin. I’d have thought that was obvious; penguins just don’t have the dexterity to peddle bikes with those short pathetic legs of theirs.
