Orville Falls Off Perch and Pauline for Parliament

Sad news today that everyone's favourite nappy-wearing flightless bird has shuffled off this mortal perch. Orville, the operator of Keith Harris, finally flew off to to the great aviary in the sky after entertaining (sic) countless generations over a star-studded showbiz career.

Falsetto voiced Orville could, amazingly, project an almost human-like bass voice onto his puppet Harris. After early success and a Saturday night TV show which ran for eight years, Orville reached the height of his fame with the Christmas hit Orville's Song (I wish I could fly) .

In latter years Orville and his nemesis fell on bleak times. "Quite honestly, I hated that bloody Harris" said Orville - "He drank like a fish, and was always trying to stick his hand up my bum."
The entertainer spiralled into depression and even contemplated drowning himself, ironically, in a local duck pond.But nostalgia proved to be a lifeline. He began appearing at holiday camps and student unions - reinventing his show for adult audiences under the title "Duck Off".
Orville will be sadly missed, as will his puppet.

On the erection front things are hotting up with DC finally awakening from his torpor to say that he was "not inconsiderably bloody well intent on winning, so there!" (or was that the other Tory bloke who shagged Edwina Currie?)

Best outfit of the weekend must surely go to Adam Clifford of Class War. 

The lovely Adam outside his London pied a terre

It seems that Adam is a graduate of Edge Hill University (see blogs passim) and has modelled himself on Steve Coogan's delightful Pauline Calf.

Actually, the above erection poster does less than justice to the splendidly dressed Adam, so let's have a look at him on a recent TV appearance;-

Disturbingly attractive - like that Eurovision Song Contest winner!

Whilst not wishing to align myself with the policies (if they have any) of this bunch of nutters, I do feel somewhat sympathetic to one of their campaign objectives!;-

Perhaps not Saatchi and Saatchi, but it gets the message across.
