Vintage Paul Henry

Paul Henry is REALLY putting the boot into Chris Carter this morning over the "they're picking on me because I'm gay" bullshit. We haven't seen everything this morning, but so far Henry has declared that the weather isn't being delivered from K Road because Chris Carter is gay, and that he's not wearing the Monarch Butterfly tie because Chris Carter is gay.

There have probably been others, but the telly hasn't had our full attention this morning; we will gleefully report any additions however.

And Guyon Espiner has just put everything into context - in a message to Chris Carter he said - "We're not picking on you because you're gay; we're picking on you because you spent twice as much as the average Labour Minister."

Indeed!

Paul Henry is very good at taking the piss out of self important gits like Carter.
There will be an envitable response which will make him, Carter, look an even bigger fool.

I watched the whole show, he really put the slipper in. Ironically the weather fairy was very excited today. He got to hand over a cheque for around 250k to the nominated charity that he had for Dancing with the "not quite" stars.
The charity was........... Rainbow youth. Hilarious. I wonder how many of those middle aged and older mummies who voted for him realised he was donating to a group that spends its time pushing homosexual propaganda down the throats of students.

Even funnier was how they crossed to Tamati immediately afterwards, and seeing how uncomfortable he looked.

I don’t think he quite understood.

BB - when you say "I wonder how many of those middle aged and older mummies who voted for him realised he was donating to a group that spends its time pushing homosexual propaganda down the throats of students.", I'd use the words of Scribe:

Not many; if any

Indeed LB - I think the irony was lost on Mr Coffey!

Leg Break said...

And here was me and BB posting almost the same thing at the same time.

I feel dirty now.

Barnsley Bill said...

You want dirty. how about this..

'I had a wet dream about you last night,




I dreamt you got run over by a bus and I pissed myself laughing.

Enjoying the Ashes Barnsley?

Inventory2 said...

LB - that's a low blow - almost an underarm!

Barnsley Bill said...

Not so much. I am heartened by the news that freddie is fit though.

Leg Break said...

Freddie should’ve played at Headingly too.

But the Southern African cartel that runs your cricket (I mean really; Paul Trott??) thought they knew better.

Inventory2 said...

Given that the conversation seems to have drifted towards cricket, the question must be asked - does the ECB have an Asian quota for the England team? It seems to be the only logical answer for the continued selection of Bopara. With Panesar seemingly out of form and favour, is Bopara the token Indian?

BTW - the groundsman at the Oavl should stop watering the pitch forthwith so that he can produce a dustbowl for the first Ashes test. Australia is not blessed with a surfeit of spinners, and if the English were REALLY bold, they would pick the leggie that played in the World 20/20. Just a provocative thought...

Leg Break said...

Bloody hell Inv; that’s out there.

Bopara scored 3 centuries in the 2 test series immediately preceding this one. Then KP got injured which meant that the logical replacement for him (and Bell’s record against Aus is famously bad) came into the side anyway.

If you’re looking for national quotas in that team, don’t look at Asia.

Inventory2 said...

LB - the Jaapie Mafia goes without saying! Bopara may have brought form into the Ashes series, but the Aussie bowlers have got his number, and his confidence level must be subterrainian.

pdm said...

LB - Over here in the UK there are not too many supporting Bopara to kee his place. You have probably seen more of the Ashes than I have but Anderson and Onions look better yhan him from what I have seen.

The Poms lost by poor batting at Leeds but why isn't Sidebottom playing. The Aussies have 7 centuries so far so th English bowling could o with some penetration.

FAIRFACTS MEDIA said...

penetration?
You talking about Carter and Coffey again?

Paul Henry should have mentioned Carter was at the launch of Islam Awareness Week.

I have blogged about the stupidity of it at my place.
