Whence one hath wobbled, is it not thenceforth a foregone conclusion that one shall, before a fortnight hath passed, fall down on one's rear end?”
~ Oscar Wilde

Mr Speaker Michael Martin MP you must not resign today!
NO! NO! NO! In the name of art you must stay.
TF has been up most of the night (with a dodgy tummy) writing political poetry in your honour. I've written a fabulous poem entitled "Swindling Swags" and you MM are playing the leading role "softly-spoken stuttering Scottish scapegoat Speaker says sorry".
For if you go I shall now have to re-write the end of this epic poem
"Will widespread witch hunt wobble Westminster? "
For last night I truly believed that "Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down ;-) Please do not prove me wrong. Alas, I've that sinking feeling ..... Man over board.
"Bright bobbling blue boat brings back Betty Boothroyd ...."
ORDER! ORDER!

Sorry about your dodgy tummy - hope you're feeling better now!
I loved weebles when I was little - mind never fell down. x
A, My homecooking! ;-) Magic magnets :) TFx
Hope your poor stomach has settled down a bit now.
My brother used to have weebles, I loved them
Debs, It be a fishy tale (DO NOT eat fish beyond its sell-by-date)
:O Tfx
I loved my weebles. I can't begin to comment on the expenses fiasco, I sound like a Daily Mail reader and I fear that's not good for me.
Auntiegwen, me reckons you should stand along with me for Parliament as an Idependent(woman) ;-) TFx
Weebles were utterly gorgeous. I loved them.
Hope the tummy is much improved.
Oh yes please bring back Betty, she was great, wouldn't take any crap!
Sorry but I'm living proof that something weeble shaped can fall down!!!
Feel better soon xx
Shirley, the tummy has been all of a wobble most of the day :O
Claire, she had a strong safe pair of hands methinks :)

Mr Speaker did most definitely fall down.
Hope your poorly tum is better. x
Lane, Hmmm, sad but true. Will more of them wobble? Times they're a changing methinks ;-) TFx
I had a girlfriend once that I used to call Weeble. She wasn't much good with money either. She resigned from being my girlfriend for some reason.
Nota Bene, I'm no Agony Aunt here but just maybe she didn't like the name Weeble!. I'll let you into a wee secret here most (but not all) woman are CRAP when it comes to money ;-) TFx
Hope you're feeling better now TF.
This is so just not a good time to be managing Democratic Services in a local Council!!! We're getting loads of phone calls about councillors' expenses too.
The papers keep going on about how this is going to wobble both national and local democracy.
(By the way the MP who has claimed the least amount in expenses is a really nice bloke - and also one of my councillors!)
Uh-oh - think it might be too late, thus proving that some Weebles do indeed fall down :o(
Tommo for Prime Minister!!
Peppermint tea that's what you need. Really! It is great for settling dodgy tummies.
Be well, you.
'Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down'
I remember singing such to my Daughter, when she was a little one. Ha! I feel old!
BTW thank you for your kind words you left at my place.
Annie, Feeling almost normal today ;-) I'm relying on you to keep them on their toes. I wonder if others are shaking in their boots?
Clarkey, Tommo for PM does have a certain ring to it methinks ;-)
Sarah,Thanks I might just invest in some. Your poetry is very good, should be published :)
TFx
