Chris Bryant having some fun with Kay Burley

This video is just brilliant.

Kay Burley: "...you are content to say that on the telly?"
Chris Bryant: "I have just said that, you seem to be a bit dim, if you don't mind me saying."

No Chris, we don't mind one little bit...

Crap wordplay

New Liebour

Tony Bliar

EUSSR

$ky TV

Londonistan

I keep seeing these on newspaper comments. It's partly my own fault for reading newspaper comment sections but surely I can't be alone in thinking these are pathetic?! Oh bravo, you got the word LIE into Labour because you don't like the war in Iraq. You're a hero. EUSSR?! Honestly, are people really comparing the role of the EU with the iron rule of the Communists during the cold war? Shock, horror, London has immigrants! aaaaaaah!! Whatever shall we do?! Come up with a witty pun by putting 'istan' on the end of London? Yeah, now I feel better.

TB phones home!

I'm looking forward to seeing the 'leadership' contenders on C4 news tonight, it's going to be a jolly affair I'm sure. Especially with Tony Blair's autobiography out today! I only hope it's as good as Mandelson's.

Possibly the saddest thing I've seen today was on the Guardian website, where poor Andrew Sparrow is blogging live as he reads A Journey. I worry about the Guardian sometimes, and I'm not really sure they have the cash to just pay people to do this.

They paid THREE journalists to blog about the last day of the transfer window yesterday, and all they managed to do was prattle on about how much hype Sky were putting into their coverage.
