Island Life: How to smoke an MP

  • Russell Brown,

    The limit of your metaphor is this: cigars are one domain where bigger really is better, because a skilled roller can accommodate a more complex blend in a larger vessel. But if this were the case for MPs, National would obviously have a different deputy leader this week.

    You're overlooking a manufacturing threshold. In this case, thighs is everything.

    Some may prefer to have grouting done in their bathroom

    Is that some new slang? Ewwwww.

    Given that Matt Robson is to be hauled before the Privileges Committee in regard to comments made in an email newsletter posted publically on the voting of Peter Dunne on certain legislation in regard to the liquor and Tobacco industry
    Speaker Wilson on Robson's newsletter

    David, You might want to keep a closer eye on comments than usual on this issue.

    Grouting in the bathroom included :)

    I'd smoke more MPs, but I find most of them are too wet to light.

    Did anyone notice in the Dom story the comment from the director of the Smokefree Coalition? And that the director is former MP Mark Peck? By now, he's either dried out enough to light, or would come pre-packaged with scotch or port.

  • stephen walker,

    i couldn't stop laughing when i read this pythonesque sKetch this morning. not least becuase a certain roll-yer-own MP i can think of was head prefect of my year at a certain well-known school. seemed like a nice guy. only spoke to him a couple of times in the five years we were "inside". but i was amazed at the time that he knew the name and face of every 7th former. all 200.

    personally, i've seen U2 only once, in the 7th form, but couldn't possibly comment on who smoked whom... or what.
