'Jug Ears'? We use him to be polite towards village idiots...




Added as an edit rather as the planned separate post thanks to my broadband doing an update or something similar at just the wrong moment...

In all seriousness, while SASless's references to Prince Charles seem well -sorry, SASless - the sort of thing I last heard in about year 2 of secondary school (bar one reference of that sort about HMQ from a leading light of the university Labour Club in 1991), the amount of abuse fired at Bush Jr, and before him Reagan and Bush Sr from this side of the Atlantic might make SASless wonder if double standards are at work here. The fact that the overwhelming majority of people offended by the 'jug ears' reference are the sort of people who would disapprove of the abuse heaped on Bush 43 et al might be a subtlety that gets lost in the noise... Just a thought.
