Famous jive

Here's something interesting: I have busted some jive moves with the person responsible for exposing the MP's expenses scandal.

She was on the first jive course I did, back at South London Pacific, in April 2006. This was of course back in the days when our elected representatives and their families could merrily watch porn films, build home extensions, and make donations to charity (see #6) and then claim it all back while we were none the wiser. I've just reread the entries from the time and she wasn't the one with the cat ear headband.

A dramatisation of the whole story of it (the battle for access to expenses claims, not being whirled around the dancefloor by me) is on BBC4 tonight, as I type.

We recently had a very nice trip to Egypt and here, for your enjoyment, are some jokes that I made up while I was there. CP found them all, without fail, utterly hilarious:


What do you call Rolf Harris' gang that he has in Sudan?
Rolf's Khartoum Club


What do you say to someone who has fallen in the river and then claims that they don't need help?
He's in denial!


What do you call Rolf Harris' gang where he writes your name in hieroglyphics inside a sort of ovoid shaped outline?
Rolf's Cartouche Club


Did you hear about the dyslexic Council person who got in trouble for popping everyone's car tyres?
He installed cactis in the road [instead of cat's eyes]


What do you call Rolf Harris' gang for elk-like animals?
Rolf's Caribou Club

Hanky pancake nohow

Ok, so I put this up in 2008 - Tombolablog: now into our 4th year! Time really flies when you're writing sporadic rubbish - but it warrants a return.

Enjoy your pancakes readers!
