Yes Minister, written by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn, is a British political situation comedy of rare power.
Set in the mythical “Ministry of Administrative Affairs”, its power comes partly from the strength of the leading actors (Paul Eddington as the Right Hon James Hacker MP (minister for Admin Affairs), Nigel Hawthorne as Sir Humphrey Appleby (Permament Secretary for AA, effectively the Civil Servant in charge) and Derek Fowldes as the Principal Private Secretary to the dept (reporting to Hacker, but knowing that Sir Humphrey has control over his future career)).
This power comes from the fact that (uniquely in political sitcoms), it ignores party politics and concentrates on the divisions between Government (legislature, and responsible for making policy) and the Civil Service (responsible [well in principle anyway] for implimenting those decisions).
yay! yes minister!
Hey man, have you tried killing yourself? I suggest you do it, you won’t be missed by anyone!
*you’re
“Holy F*cktard, Batman! How did this one escape?”
This puts me in mind of an episode of “Yes Prime Minister”, where Hacker and the US President were having a summit.
Hacker’s description of it to Sir Humphrey and Bernard afterwards was something like “We started reading the briefs to each other, then decided to swap and just read each others’. That meant we got it done in 20 minutes, and spent the next 2 hours dissing the French!”
In which context, if you like Monty Python and/or Fawlty Towers, give “Yes (Prime) Minister” a try.
O/T, but wanted you to know we had to cancel our vacation to Glasgow. My husband’s mother has not been well, and we don’t think she’s going to survive the summer… We’re hoping to get there either next spring or summer.
Ok; I’m Scottish, so I totally get exactly where you’re coming from.
Best wishes to you and yours.
Sadness. Hugs to your husband.
Thanks
My best to Poppagander and Granmagoose.
*grabs mothergoose’s husband*
*hugs tight*
You both are in my prayers!
Thanks.
I’m sorry mothergoose, I hope you and your husband are dealing with things okay and that her health will improve.
We’re doing well. Thanks for the good wishes
Sorry mothergoose! *hugs*
Thanks, Jane. *hugs back*
Sorry to hear it mothergoose!
Thanks sb.
MG, I know the hardest part is watching the slow decline. It happened with my father and you just feel hopeless because there isn’t anything you can do but make them comfortable. Thankfully my mum went quickly with no pain. I’m praying that you are given the strength, but mostly I pray for courage for you and your husband.
Oh, that sucks. Sorry to hear all that…
My sympathies, MG.
Uhhhhh…ok…so…here we both are….
Ooh look, a fly!
You know PETA got really pissed about Obama swatting that fly…
I mean come on! It’s just a nasty fly. It’s not like it’s some sort of endangered animal.
Yeah, well, it’s PETA. The same folk that brought us ’sea kittens’.
PETA looks for any opportunity, don’t they?! How should he have “ethically treated” a common housefly?! Let it live, breed and infest the White House? C’mon…we just got rid of the last infestation in Novemeber!!!!!
if you’re hindu, you could just say that obama being being a generous soul and hastening the fly’s progress through the lower stages of life so that the path to nirvana would be that much quicker.
he really is a swell guy.
I just hope he washed his hands. You know what those things EAT, right? Or worse, walk on…. ew.
A friend of mine sent me this link once, and I re-linked it here… I cannot vouch for it’s veracity, but kinda makes one wonder a little…
i’ve heard some of this from other sources, i don’t believe it, but i don’t disbelieve it either —
sorry about your hubby’s mom – hugs for everyone. watching a parent decline in the last year or so is hard to do, been there with both, but from what i’ve seen you’ve got the strength to withstand, just pray for the endurance. treasure the time you have left, it can never be recaptured or made up for.

I actually heard this story a couple of weeks ago….it’s just recently come back out. Let me see if I can find the one I read….

“so, you don’t know what you’re doing?”
“nope!”
The small talk started when Vlad took a break from being Dmitri’s puppeteer…
They have a super frowny face contest.
What’s the deal? It’s just guys sitting around talking.
O:”So…did you see the Lakers game?”
D:”Nope.”
O:”Ah. How about the Penguins? Hockey fan at all?”
D:”NHL sucks all good players out of Europe.”
O:”I see. Baseball?”
D:”HA! Communism rose and fell since Cubs last won World Series! HAHAHAHA!”
O:”Good thing I’m a White Sox fan.”
Teleprompter broken?
Next make a joke about socialism, or how Obama’s a secret Muslim! Because those are still funny and accurate, not to mention totally relevant!
the socialism thing isn’t a joke…
Old “joke” is old.
agreed. as are bush jokes.
