cos its driving fecking insane...is hacking it off the answer or would a steady course of electro-shock therapy do the tricK? failing that, how could we make this annoying repetetive gesture easier to withstand?

suggestion#1 is to get the Queen to insist Blair wear a sock puppet on the hand in question and from then on every time he denies fabricating evidence of WOMD to justify war on Iraq the sock puppet can chip in with embarassingly crude musings on how much it would like to fondle Emma Bunton's or Holly Valance's breasts.

He has been sold the emperor's new sock puppet. Only the truly on message can see it.

Also note the way he never speaks a whole sentence without at least a couple of jerky, 'dramatic' pauses for effect.

He belongs in Thunderbirds.

Maybe the sock puppet could nod or shake it's head in contradiction to Blair.

And of course viciously assault Michael Parkinson.

I apologize to those people for whom the mispunctuation of its in the post before last may induce murderous thoughts. I would normally be numbered among you, but have decided to go easy on myself.

(Andrew looks down, notices sock puppet on hand, puppet goes for the jugular, Andrew flies backwards off chair, pair of legs point up towards ceiling in comedy fashion)

yeh he needs to stop saying 'look..' as well, in such an irritated authoriative tone...'look, can't you just let me run the country (INTO THE GROUND!) without questioning my every judgement at every turn?'

still, i'd like to see ME do better...

Blair reminds me of Bill Clinton for the hand gestures & "dramatic" pauses & such. A little too much.

four months pass...

i still really love the sock puppet idea.

Blair: Well Socko, the docs are gonna have to do some work on the old ticket

Socko: I hope you die soon!

ticket is ruislip slang for heart - like when Indiana Jones throws the Commandant out the plane and says 'no ticket!' he really means the guy had no heart. Indiana was from Ruislip you see.

(i got out of that one pretty well)

Is it the same thing I do with my hand, when I'm talking on the phone to someone nice?

that may depend on whether you actually wear a sock on said hand.
