I RECENTLY HEARD A SWEET ELDERLY LADY SAYING A PRAYER:-

“Dear Lord, the past couple of years have been very tough for me.
You have taken ...
my favourite actor--- Alan Rickman
my favourite horror actor Christopher Lee,
my favourite comedian --- Robin Williams,
my favourite singers----Joe Cocker and David Bowie
my favourite author, Tom Clancy.
my favourite presenter Sir Terry Wogan
and now, my favourite everything, Victoria Wood
So Lord. I just wanted you to know that my favourite politicians
are Tony Blair, David Cameron, , Robert Mugabe and that stupid bitch
from Scotland”.

Love it. Especially Nichola Sturgeon!

Charleygirl Wed 27-Apr-16 18:40:39

Loved it, I burst out laughing.

Thingmajig Wed 27-Apr-16 18:41:01

Absolutely agree, and yes Hildajenni, especially the last one!

I immediately assumed that 'stupid bitch from Scotland' was referring to Kezia Dugdale, tho I would not refer to her in that sexist manner, nor wish her dead.

Jane10 Wed 27-Apr-16 19:11:45

Reckon you assumed wrong!

Jalima Wed 27-Apr-16 19:20:00

and how does she pronounce Kezia - we have an ancestor called Kezia and it wasn't pronounced like that

but I do think most people know who the old lady meant in her prayer .....

Jalima Wed 27-Apr-16 19:23:56

in fact two ancestors, one on each side of the family, but I have only heard the pronunciation of one -
to rhyme with Isaiah

pompa Wed 27-Apr-16 19:53:58

OMG, what if I had posted that - I'd have been slaughtered.

Eloethan Wed 27-Apr-16 20:06:26

Nasty.

Ana Wed 27-Apr-16 20:11:49

What, the joke itself or just the banter about who the Scottish bitch is meant to be? Feel free not to comment if you find a thread distasteful, Eloethan.

Pompa sits back and waits for the fun to start grin
(Oh I do love not being on the receiving end for a change)

Jalima Wed 27-Apr-16 20:21:27

OMG, what if I had posted that - I'd have been slaughtered

well, it could mean anyone pompa grin

Jalima, I don't recognise your name, so I'm making an assumption that you are new (sorry if I'm wrong). You may not have been here when I made an alleged sexist remark about ladies bums - spent several hours in virtual casualty smile

Granny23 Wed 27-Apr-16 20:29:57

Well I must be having a humour bypass, perhaps because I am proud to count Nicola (no h) as a personal friend. For something to be witty it has to have more than a grain of truth to it . Nicola is most certainly not stupid, does not have a bitchy bone in her body and has the highest (by a mile) approval rating for any politician in the UK. I can only conclude, since I cannot accept that Gransnetters would burst out laughing at a sexist joke, that the 'humour' lies in the fact that she is Scottish.

Iam64 Wed 27-Apr-16 20:37:47

Ok take out the Scottish story (can't help laughing, Macbeth I mean, not the lovely Nicola)

otherwise, I think it's smashing Alea - can I add Donald Trump to the list of politicians, oh and before I go, Gorgeous George Galloway

Jalima Wed 27-Apr-16 20:41:47

Only one person mentioned Nicola Granny23
One can read into it whatever one wishes.

Oh yes, Donald Trump - are we allowed to include him as his mother was Scottish?
(ducks for cover)

Alea Wed 27-Apr-16 20:55:16

Blimey! hmm
As I said, Well, it made me laugh ........

Eloethan Wed 27-Apr-16 22:41:13

Ana Even when something is presented as a "joke", I think it is nasty to wish anyone dead, however, odious they might be considered to be, and to use expressions like "the Scottish bitch".

You frequently express your disagreement with posts and I see no reason why I shouldn't do likewise.

brew

Jane10 Thu 28-Apr-16 08:10:47

If the aforementioned Nicola is a personal friend of Granny23 then it is commendable that she spring to her defence. Clearly not everyone holds her in the same esteem though which maybe what G23 is annoyed about.

pompa Thu 28-Apr-16 08:25:27

So far we have had "Nasty" "sexist" implied racism etc.
Keep it up ladies. This is so refreshing (not being the object of the comments for a change)
Time for another brew
