I saw his writing once... the curl of his 'C'... how was his 'U'... then his 'T'...
I was a Sir Toby, back in school... these days, I could play him without the padding..!
Later this evening, not on Ch4, a new twist on an old favourite, focussing on only one hopeful participant in a feature length episode of ‘The Undateable’, which won’t be followed by the must-see reboot of ‘When The Boat Comes In’. But first it’s over to ‘The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club!’
Thinking of you and your dad. I lost my mum (85) just before Christmas. I'm still a bit wierd/numb and almost expecting her to pop up and check how we are coping with everything. She was a bit of a fusser.
I like the word homunculus; it's such a prettily pejorative diminutive. Tacitus called the British Celts conquered by Rome "Brittunculi": "wretched little Britons."
"Homunculus" is a good term. There's a lot of great pejoratives which aren't going to get me banned for using them; believe me, there's a few shorter, more succinct words I could use about that utter waste of perfectly good internal organs, but I've only just got here and don't want to risk a ban!
He is an absolute charlatan, a snake-oil salesman of the highest order, a disingenuous lying self-serving delusional little rodent. What the people of Clacton were thinking, I don't know. I'm surprised he hasn't fallen foul of parliamentary rules yet because he's fundamentally ill-suited to the role
Oh, I don't think they were thinking. Well, not in the accepted sense of cerebration anyway. That's why he's so dangerous: he appeals precisely to those who prefer their knee-jerk reactions, fear and ignorance encouraged, and their prejudice, stupidity and envy flattered, to being made to think.
He was neither born great, nor has he achieved greatness, but he'd certainly like to have greatness thrust upon him, wouldn't he? Can't really see Elon as Olivia, though. One can only hope that NF ends up as thoroughly frustrated and defeated as Malvolio.

What an awful creature he is.

Walking advert for lumpy custard.

NOT
(And the first Shakespeare character I ever played)
We should perhaps revive the appellation.
It's almost worth a lengthier parody.
