So Today A Rusty Farm Implement Shoved Home; in
Alan Sugar. Jumped up bad advert for Alpha male posturing, the lie of capitalism, beards and this worldly obsession with success. I would rather swim in elephant piss that watch that shite.

Well…that certainly required a bit of googling. So…Alan Sugar is the Donald Trump of the UK apparently. I suppose that's useful information inasmuch as all knowledge is useful, including the f act that Princess Marie Adélaïde of France died in Trieste in 1800, as a refuge from the excesses of the French Revolution.

How, while googling for Alan Sugar, did you manage to come up with Princess Marie Adelaide having died in Trieste?
I can only guess the common factor must be the starfish. Did she tread on one which bit her, or did she ingest one prepared in some interesting Italian fashion - stella di mare alla parmigiana perhaps?

It's a funny thing, but every time anyone posts anything in a foreign language these days, I have to control the urge to react like they've said Jehovah.

Sugar would like to think he is the Donald Trump of the UK but their only connection is that they both star in The Apprentice and that Sugar looks like an annoyed hedgehog whereas Trump looks like he's wearing a dead hedgehog on his head; in reality Sugar is small beer compared to Trump.

Oh, dear. Although in some ways that's a good thing, I suppose it means you must therefore have gone off bourbon.

That's a better thing to do with a mirror under your nose than some I can think of.
