The Tombliboo Over-Acting Insult...

FULL STORY: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/coventry_warwickshire/7189882.stm

Mr Blake plays a Tombliboo. A cuddly little fellow, who cleans his teeth, bashes a piano, and says both "Tombliboo" and "ee". An actors dream job I'm sure.

"Earlier, Mr Blake told an employment tribunal in Birmingham he had been abused and injured when the suit caused him to fall over. He told how he had been signed off work by doctors with injuries and was then sacked by the company. "

Lets get this right... your living is made dressing up as an inarticulate foam creature and cleaning your teeth with a four foot toothbrush. How small must you feel when a doctor signs you off work with injurys sustained wearing the big foam suit? How dumb must you be to hurt yourself wearing all over foam padding? Surely, he must have been sacked for being such a donkey?

"Mr Blake said he fell in November 2005 after a camera in his suit failed, meaning he could not see. Mr Davenport (company rep) said it was "over-acting" which caused the fall."

Surely Mr Blake should consider another profession? First he's hurt himself whilst wearing all over padding, and now the production company exec says that he over acted. Tombliboos make huge exaggerated gestures for little kids to watch. Their toothbrushes are 4ft tall! How bad an actor are you when your face is hidden, your body surrounded by foam, your script is to ham it up, make bold clear gestures etc... and you manage to over act?

Tombliboo...? The man's surely a muppet!

Complete and utter...

My local MP's a bit wet. I was therefore amused to hear that a recent comment by him was commented on from the benches, and now he's complaining about unparliamentary language. That's right... the words are the problem Mr Baron!

The official record of Parliamentary proceedings is to be changed to remove a swear word attributed to Armed Forces Minister Bob Ainsworth.
As Tory MP John Baron debated troops' kit shortages Mr Ainsworth was reported to have muttered "absolute bollocks".

President Dumb W Phukwhit

Mr Bush said spreading freedom and democracy was the best way to defeat radicalism.
America and its democratic allies would prevail over extremists like al-Qaeda, he said, because they have "freedom and justice written into our hearts by Almighty God... no terrorists can take that away".


Is there absolutely no limit to President George "W for Anker" Bush's dumbness?

We'll beat the people with that other imaginary friend because our motives were given to us by our imaginary friend. This guy runs a country! Scary!
