I miss my pet tortoise: Mr. Eight.

Ed Miliband is the leader of the oppostion, or is he? Perhaps he is a cheap robot. Watch this video and judge for yourselves :

I fear for the country.

If it weren't BBC News I'd think this would be an Onion spoof.

That was my first assumption.

"This cannot be real. Someone must be fucking with him at the Beeb."

But after carefully checking that he does indeed vary his response slightly every time, it becomes obvious that it's not an editing job. 

Then again, he does look a bit... *cough*... brown.

I thought his family is half Polish.

Polish Jews. His mother was saved from the holocaust by some catholic Poles during the war. His father was born in Belgium where his folks had moved to from Warsaw, they fled to Britain in 1940.

You're in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it's crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't, not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

Someone explain to me how that test was supposed to work.

We call it Strauss-Kahn for short.

I think we should stop the rhetoric, get round the negotiating table and stop this kind of Milliband from happening again.

That was painful. I fear for the labour party. Again. Still.

Don't blame me.  I supported Andy Burnham

Someone explain to me how that test was supposed to work.

IIRC from the book, most animals had gone extinct (ergo: electric sheep), so a human would have some sort of emotional response when told about a real animal struggling to survive.

Although it was decided that my youngest sister was too young at his death to know the truth, so we told her that he was hibernating. He's been hibernating for a long time now.

[Josquius]

He is caught in an infinite loop.
After the 3rd time I thought 'surely now...' but nope, here comes a 4th. And again, even when asked if its effecting him!
LOL, jesus. I wish I'd watched Have I got news for you this week

There was an amusing comment under one of the articles I read about this minor fiasco, viz. :

"He is either on drugs or he should be."
