Horatio Moore

“As the nominated Minister for Defence in any government formed by @almurray my first act will be to advocate war with France.” tweets Brian Moore.  Blimey.

Royal Pass

Iain O’Brien tweets “Needed a pic for my media pass this summer.” Something regal I think.  Perm advisable

King Cricket VII

Napoleon Richardson

Tireless  Associates campaigner Francesca Harris tweets ” What ‘they’ must now understand @ICC is that all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others #10TeamCup2019 #MembersOnly” With Dave Richardson as Napoleon figure?  (not the pig of course – I don’t like to be, you know, rude)

Sláinte

Aghast at the clonking administered by NZ to England, Gatt retreats to a Benedictine monastery.  There are compensations…. (thank you Giovanni Caroto)

Mona Gatt

Was wondering where Gatt has been of late.  Hanging around the Louvre apparently

Gatt’s Scream

I blame Gary Naylor for this one – Gatt’s just heard the result from Columbo today…

Gatt’s Dejeuner sur L’herbe

Gatt’s just taking a quick break from travelling to have a French picnic – seems to have made a bit of an impression on Monet…

And where is Gatt today?  Why – in the Galleria Nazionale D’Arte Antica in Rome, courtesy of Hans Holbein junior

One is write like sheikhspeer other is also write like sheikhspeer.”  So true.  George even looks like the Bard but sadly Jarrod is no oil painting…
