A SHOP that flogs PCs wants to help the United Kingdom government draft laws, giving additional force to Napoleon Bonaparte’s old adage that England is a nation of shopkeepers.
Egregious megashop Tesco has told the government it wants to give prime minister Gordon “champers” Brown a hand in drafting legislation to reduce the amount of cut price booze it’s selling.
The world has gone stark staring bonkers.
Boney,
like Shakespeare, coined a plethora of sayings [shorely slayings, Ed.]
including the hackneyed “a picture is worth a thousand words”. Other choice
thoughts from the French dictator that became an emperor include “four hostile
newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets”, “France has more
need of me than I have need of France”, and “history is a set of lies agreed
upon”.
He is also responsible for the adages “if you want a thing done well, do it yourself”, and “in politics, stupidity is not a handicap”. µ
