According to grubby proletarian reporters from the Manchester Guardian, a Somali goatherder is running for President of our former colonies in the Americas. This points out a couple of failings:
- We should have beaten them in the 1775-1783 and 1812-1815 wars
- This is a cautionary tale about the folly of democracy . . . GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
- We should immediately re-invade the colonies to liberate loyal tories.
I think his turban clashes with his Ralph Lauren polo shirt and Dockers brand khaki pants combo.

Oh? Forgive me for I've misremembered. Which one is your regiment?
ReplyDeleteLord Turnip,
ReplyDeleteWhy sir, that would be HRM's Royal Eppington Fusiliers.
I was thinking of buying a colonelcy in this regiment but they outlawed the practice.

If you join my regiment I must insist that you keep your incessant prattling about turnips to an appropriate minimum.
ReplyDeleteJoin your regiment? No sir! I'm a cavalry man as all noblemen should be.
ReplyDeleteWell certainly if you can't affoard a regiment of your own, then the cavalry is a perfectly acceptable alternative.

There is where you are wrong my good man. The incredible popularity of the turnip as a truck vegetable and our vast land holdings have made the Townshend's enormous sums of money. Of course it is so very vulgar to speak of such things.
