Been a Bit Busy Today

To those complaining in the comments about the lack of activity today, Guido does have some extra new family commitments who take priority over entertaining a load of webmongs.

Bought a new Citroen people carrier* this morning to transport the expanded brood around in. Five years ago, a bachelor Guido was zooming around in a Lotus sports car with his stereo blasting, now he drives a lemon with wailing in stereo. C'est la vie...

*We're in the South of France for the summer.

The amorous hippopotamus whose love song we know
Is now married and father of ten,
He murmurs, "God rot 'em!" as he watches them grow,
And he longs to be single again!
He'll gambol no more on the banks of the Nile,
Which Naser is flooding next spring,
With hippopotamas in silken pyjamas
No more will he teach them to sing...

Wasn't there some sort of Greepeace 'Stop the Wailing' campaign? Anyway, welcome to the rest of your life...

BOF2BS said...

Did you get a dog as well before the kiddies arrived?

Remember to put the Mr & Mrs Fawkes stickers on the front windscreen.

Do you have to drive the wailers around to get them to sleep?

How is Mrs Fawkes by the way?

It does sound as if you have an exceptionally exciting and rewarding life.


Keep us all up to date please!

Carbon footprint info also appreciated!!!

What colour is it?
let me guess its silver and a diesel?

The sick thing is fawkes that women of a certain persuasion find people carriers sexy , it marks you out as fertile and safe
hahahhahh
Im joking , your sex life is over.

Enjoy yourselves in the South of France. How many bottles of vin will have the effect of not hearing the wails? Mrs F must not be forgotten - if she is allowed to drink, that is.

As a UKIP supporter, I don't have a problem with visiting France - or anywhere else in the EU for that matter. What I do have a problem is with them telling us what to do.

Referendum here? Yes, please!

A French car? I suppose when in France...

machiavelli said...

You can get more cases of wine in a Citroen people carrier's boot than you can under the bonnet of a Lotus Esprit... every cloud has a silver lining.

mitch said...

Is that the C8? With the electric doors? If so, good choice. The wirings all to cock of course, being French, but otherwise it's a decent car.

Congratulations to Mrs Fawkes for turning you into a useful member of society/life support system.

Yep, know all about that - TVR to V-class in 6 years, welcome to seven seater hell. Welcome to the Med too, bloody hot down here, innit?

I am fed up with this. I don't come on here to read all this baby shit. Why don't you just have a day a week, every week, when you invite people to congratulate you for leaving your keyboard rantings and peremptorily poking the mrs?

If you were a real man, like Mr Brown, you'd get someone else to do it for you because whenever he tries to do it himself his nearly sixty year old spunk produces stillborn monsters and it doesn't feel as good, anyway, as his encounters with muscular fisherfolk in New England's popular nightspot, The Gay Halibut, which is where he has his own bestest kind of sex when he is on holiday from the voices in his head.,

Still, we are all young parents now so that's the main thing. Charles Kennedy, Gordon Brown, William Hague and Guido.

Anybody know owt about Liam Fox's seminal fluid ? He's next up in the normal family man scam. Innit?

Guido,

Just to give you a small example of the hell (I mean Life) heafing your way.
I have just spent the last half hour cleaning up dog mess, which one of my brood has trampled through every room in the house, even on the brand new carpet.

Being smart I thought baby wipes the ideal tool, which I then flushed down the toilet, which I then had to get back from out the toilet after I had blocked it up.

All the while with the lovely
Mrs W offering kind words and useful advice.

Anyone got any Polonium 210?

Not for them, for me!

Ah, the complaints of Eurosceptics will dissolve into thin air in the ambience of the deep-blue-skyed Cote d'Azur. Better still, go along the coast to Monaco and see the best way to have dealings with the EU - along with all those right-hand drive Rolls that are so environmental. Who gives a damn when you can motor to Nice from Monty doing 15 mpg like a mad Maharaja....

What a shite car , but hey.. needs must...;)

Agreed. A friend of mine has one for his brood. I covet that vehicle with its electronic doors, sat nav and TV in the seat backs. I want it more than is strictly healthy for me and I don't even drive! I just have kids and that's what having kids does to you - makes you want weird things that you never thought you would. Drinking a lot of wine is one of the other effects which is also strictly healthy for me.

The BBC has been criticised for it's less than honest broadcasting.
Shall we now not see any reference to this "impartial organisation" as a argument in any blogs please.

Lord Reith would be spinning.

I notice that NULAB TROLLS do not wish to take me on over this one!

Funny how it ain't stopped raining here since Gordon Brown seized power.

Roof Kelly said...

If you're not careful that nice Ruth Kelly will have forced road pricing through. Needless to say she denies any attempt at bullying local authorities. Great policy from Nu Lab, price the poor off the streets.

I hope that your new people carrier doesn't turn out to be a car dealer's lemon.

Perhaps an ex army Saracean six wheeled Armoured Personnel Carrier would be a more practical proposition, it has hub cabs which will open up the side of any car which tries to undertake you, a nice tasteful machine gun mount, and is probably too heavy for most contractors' cranes to lift out of a parking pay.

Piss poor performance by Gordon, Queen of Snots today (does he need an draw)

Imagine Roof Kelley squeezing your lemon!

Charlotte Corday said...

Guido, Benedict Brogan in his blog says there will be a decision from the CPS on cash for honours on Tuesday. He says it looks as if no charges will be bought.

Charlotte Corday said...

Sorry. Last word should have been brought. Freudian slip.

What exactly is a 'webmong' not a particularly nice way to decribe your avid bloggers.
And it has hardly been entertaining of late

Hope it doesn't turn into a Gerald Ratner moment.

This site is becoming a tad on the boring side anyway, maybe time to move on to Iain Dale.

Are you going to appologise to us Guido??

I'm not a troll, but I don't like being insulted

Guido Fawkes Esq. said...

You are definitely a webmong. Do fuck off.

With pleasure, I have been an avid blogger on here for quite a while,

but have had my doubts for, I despise the Guardian, but thought you were piss poor on Newsnight, very disapointed in you squeaky high pitched voice.
Even a wanker Like Micheal White made you look a fool.

Are you a fool Paul?

Congratulations one lost Blogger, Hope it's not the first of many.

Bye, Bye Paul, keep on squeaking

Guido Fawkes Esq. said...

Eeek!

Should that not be Squeak, or do you have a cold?
Joe Pascali now has a rival, can we expect to see you on I'm a Celebrity

chatterbox said...

Congratulations on your new baby daughter, hope everyone is doing fine and you and Mrs Fawkes are getting some sleep.

getalife said...

Anon you are biggining to sound like a TWAT. Cheap beer and late nights, makes Anon a TWAT!

Anonymous said...

Squeaking??

Let that be a lesson to all you youngsters on the dangers of mixing E and helium when out clubbing...

Anonymous said...

getalife 12.02,
if you are going to try and insult me at least do it with a small degree of wit or style.
If that really is the best you can do, I suggest you go to bed.
I most certainly never drink cheap beer, cheap sherry possibly.
