Democracy Online

*slumps down a bit in chair*

Yeah, this is actually my job too do this kind of thing. a bit.

But since this Blog is about trivia lets focus on e-Petitioning the Prime Minister! Hoorah! - for the inspiring Tom Steinberg has Made This So here.

And so we can laugh at what petitions have been put forward.

My two favourites so far, before this well-intentioned venture goes into comedy meltdown, are:

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to replace the national anthem with 'Gold' by Spandau Ballet"

and

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to stand on his head and juggle ice-cream."

Funky Monkey and the BAAAD food

My "Life Partner" (oh alright, "Wife"), returns from amusing Reception class entertainment for 3 year olds full of amusement at the resemblance to 'Legz Akimbo' from League of Gentlemen. The subject of the afternoon's entertainment is 'HEALTHY EATING'. 3 year olds sit neatly, agog, whilst wide eyed young woman breathily retells the story of a monkey with bad eating habits. YUK he eats SWEETS, until HOORAH the jungle Doctor recommends a more balanced approach with 5 portions a day and ya di ya di yah....

Youngest child is quizzed by me later whilst standing on my study carpet- I sit pipe in mouth in my leather chair (ref "When Do You Last See Your Father" style pictures.)- as to the moral of this tale.

"The monkey had a bad tummy and ate some sweets which made him better".
