Archie Belaney (Grey Owl to you)?We should treasure the Beaver and people like Mandelson aren't?But the Sleazeometer's far more important??

Peter North said...

Slow news day?

i spy strangers said...

William Donal Blaney? What can you be suggesting, Guido?

Guido Fawkes Esq. said...

NOT DONAL.

i spy strangers said...

Phew!

raincoaster said...

This one?

i spy strangers said...

Eureka - I think!

Andrea said...

I spy strangers...some of the women in that link are really scary...

raincoaster said...

Excellent work! Is "an associate of Linley" going to enter the lexicon, do you think?

i spy strangers said...

Andrea - I don't think the women are the main focus of interest in this case ... but you're right! (What a relief it is not to be a socialite, or a socialist for that matter.)

Edward said...

Does he have dogs?

i spy strangers said...

Actually, I think the photos on the link prove that the Yanks have got there before us. They were clearly taken at a face transplant convention. (But all this is a distraction.)

I always thought Greg Barker was too well-dressed and urbane to be straight...

Hedgy said...

are there sharp teeth and a soda fountain involved in the quiz?

Good God the "other man" is fucking ancient!
You would have thought Barker would of least had the decency to to find himself a nice young chicken on Old Compton street.
He probably has one of those Daddy fetishes.
Wonder who was "in the driving seat"?

i spy strangers said...

I fear, Mr Hitchens, that you've missed the boat (he said, smugly); see my 3:06 post.

BTW, raincoaster, thanks for your approval. It's about time "discussions of a Ugandan nature" was put out to grass. Do you think "consulting over interior designs" might be a suitable replacement?

Ha ha ha ha! I thought this was something about Donal Blaney too! Now that would be REALLY funny.

i spy strangers said...

Aha - I see you've updated your comment, Peter. By my reading of the caption, W B-B doesn't appear in the picture. (Unfortunate set of initials, really.)

raincoaster said...

I spy: I'm trying to work in a joke about "consulting on whether the carpet matches the drapes," but it's a little clunky. Any suggestions?

Peter Hitchens said...

I spy strangers,
instead of discussing interior design"
and bearing in mind the Linley connection, maybe it should be..
He was advising me on how to best polish my wood?

Heheh I love a good witch hunt.
I wonder if the banks Blayney character is on GAYDAR, I haven't the courage to look.
Guido you're brave, be a dear and have a peep, I bet he's on there.

i spy strangers said...

raincoaster: Would "shagpile(s)" give you something to work on? Perhaps a bit crude.

i spy strangers said...

Peter - would that be French polishing? You don't suppose the good B-B advises Mr Oaten on the best choice of coffee table do you?

raincoaster said...

"raking the shag" works backwards or forwards, as do the gentlemen in question, I would imagine.

Kru said...

Doesn't WB-B use the name WB-Blair as well?

Hedgy said...

nice rain coat..as I think I'll call you... :O)

Tinxx said...

I think that you will find that the picture is not of W B-B - but DPC - David Patrick Columbia - the pretentious author of the NY Social Diary....

No doubt also a knob jockey.
I mean what sort of man sets up a gossip website???
A Knob jockey thats who.

javelin said...

So he traded his wife in for an older model?!

I hope he's a good runner - it would be a shame for his nuts and bearings to give up as soon as he was driven hard.

prawn pedant said...

Re 'Ugandan discussions' a euphemism for heterosexual sex, this term has already been replaced by 'doing some Wilberforce research'. Discussing interior design should be restricted to describing shirtlifter activities of a sexual nature. Distinctions need to be made.

Can I just say how relieved I am it isn't Donal Blaney? The thought of him doing the jiggy-jiggy, whether with this unfortunate MP or anyone else, is too much for my delicate constitution.

i spy strangers said...

raincoaster (5:01) - like it!

I also have to agree with anonymous (6:39) re. the excellent Donal. I am ashamed that the thought ever crossed my mind.

Julian said...

This would be the Will Banks-Blaney who used to claim he manages Andrew Lamberty's store in Pimlico Road?

Andrea said...

It's in the Daily Mail now...along with an open letter from Belinda Oaten to Celeste Barker

Idle said...

"He recently commissioned a £12,000 oil painting of himself by portrait artist Andrew James. The painting depicts the politician sitting in a leather armchair and wearing full riding gear."

Daily Mail.

And poor Celeste STILL hadn't twigged that he was a bit light on his loafers?

bebopper said...

He wasn't an interior designer. He was a lowly french polisher who specialised in rubbing up tallboys.

Voyager said...

Check his Parliamentary Expenses

raincoaster said...

The fellow IS pretty, though. Maybe he could be written off as a decorative artifact?

For every distraction there is an equal and opposite action ... this is a distraction, Guido. What's been covered up? (ps ... someone must've pointed out to you that yourself and yer pals were fitted up by John Dee).
