Blog Guy, as long as you’re covering foreign news like the British elections, can you fill us in on the Italian Government?
I’ve heard some slightly disturbing stuff about the prime minister’s health.
Well, we’re all getting older, aren’t we? Yes, Silvio Berlusconi’s eyesight is starting to go, as you can see in these photos.
They say he wanders around the grounds of his residence and tries to make conversation with the statues.
Oh dear. That’s very sad. Doesn’t he notice that they don’t talk much?
No, he’s never been a big listener. He tends to stop when he sees them, lectures them on being too pale and needing more sunlight, and then he wanders on.
That’s unfortunate. I must say, those are very sharp, high-quality photos. Do you know what they were taken with?
I’m guessing an icon.
Ouch! That’s atrocious! You’ll pay forever for an outrageous pun like that!
No I won’t, not forever. There’s a statue of limitations…

Looks like this post is a bust…
Ahhhh Baz. They broke the mould when they made you.
E.
The guards at Buckingham Palace have nothing on these guys when it comes to not moving!
See when I saw this post, I thought it was going to be about someone who liked a nice break-in!
E, they not only broke the mold, they made sure they never used the pieces to EVER make another Basler!
@Jazz: I agree…
Ok, this is no way related to the post, but then hardly any of our comments ever are….ok, may be not ever, but.. whatever!
Point being, I pass this building to work… and I noticed the name today…
Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Medicine…
Happy Friday everyone..
OK, Friday is officially ‘bad pun’ day. So, in honor of that fact, I give you:
With all that Ivy, Emporer Berlusconi is in a league of his own.
There once was a chap, Berlusconi
Who was, by all rights, no phony
His picture, chosen by Bas(ler)
For rank puns and comments from (AllThat)Jazz
A lone bust remained as his crony
Shra, I have a doctor who has his office on the building next door to mine, and his name is Dr. Phuc DUONG, and he specialises in internal medicine. How’s that for an unintended pun?
Emm… I know I come from Asia and I should be aware how to actually pronounce Thai names (seeing how they sound like Indian names at times!)… but umm… could someone maybe translate this in phonetics?
Sounds more like a Thai porn star name to me, unca.
Dr. Duong?
True: I know a urologist named Dick Tapper. And another MD named Dick Wisely.
