    Wingco!

    Is that you on this poster?...

    ...Only it looks just like you!

    Jolly well done, if so. :-)

    Now... does anyone know where I can find a larger version of that image?

      Wingco!

      The poster makes absolutely no sense whatsover, of course, by far and away the greatest number of the "political class" whom we are urged to "fight" (by which I take people who've never had a job other than directly or indirectly working for a political party) are Noo Labour.

      But, of course, the "Tory" accusation (about them) in the first line is probably spot on, very few of the ones I've met have ever visited a council estate, let alone lived on one.

        I came across a biog of Charlie Nicholas on a second hall stall in Stockton a couple of weeks ago written by a chap with a similar name to wingco and nearly bought it out of curiousity but it was two quid.

          Yes, that's wingco's book (according to his wiki, anyway).

            Wrong branch of the services for wingco, surely?

              £2 on a second-hand book stall is a mark of honour. £1's normally the mark for even Katie Price autobiographries, and then 50p for the rest.

              It's yer Bill Brysons and Tony Hawks that normally attract £2. Or "My lovely and healthy Pasta Sauce" by Jamie Oliver.

                Double-edged sword, though, Rogin, as it meant that the book stayed put apart fom a cursory flick.

                    Naturally swboro, you wanted to make sure that wingco got the benefit of your purchase by getting it new.

                      Turns out the original is (gasp) American.

                        I love the way that the best method for encouraging men to fight world tyranny is to tell them that they'll get to play with very loud bangs.

                          Crikey, it's a penny on Amazon. I've just tried to buy it new, but next time I go north of the river I may try and barter that nice lady down if it's still there. Now I know the going rate.

                            Very flattering, Clive!

                            I wouln't in all honesty bother with the Charlie Nicholas book, folks. I've not got a copy myself but even at a penny, I'm not tempted.
