Clegg regrets his choice of new cabinet minister as he lets rip a massive fart in celebration of his new post.
Nick couldn’t help but grin as his patented knuckle-crusher handshake caught yet another victim unawares.
Is this where the hand-wringing finally stops?
“That’s it then, my masterstroke – now we’ve got you, our own ED in the cabinet!”
Following Chris Huhne’s precedent, Emily Davey accepts the post of Energy Secretary.
Ooh, that’s the spot, Nick, right there between the shoulder blades.
Ed Davey: “Ouch! Does that mean you’re 33rd degree?”
Nick…”Well done Ed; you won on points”
Nick’s new joke shop venture was going well; another satisfied customer had the handshake buzzer demonstrated.
I’m gonna keep a tight grip on you!
Clegg and Davey’s excitement mounted: having fixed the post office, Davey’s talent had been turned to the races.
Nick,,,,,,” Welcome to the ‘big league’ Ed, just remember, here, three points is a loss…..
“Congratulations on your win”, says Nick, “I’ve never seen anyone eat so many pies in one sitting”
“Remember Ed – Points do not mean prizes.”
OK – thanks, Nick. You can stop twisting my arm – NOW please!
or, better rephrased, “Congratulations on your win”, says Nick, “at £10 per pie you’ve just raised hundreds of pounds for charity”
promotion helps inflate Ed Davey’s sense of self-worth.
Clegg: “I’ve got to keep your feet on the ground somehow.”
Nick:” Now you are in the Cabinet you will have to buy a new suit.”
“…..and so Ed, tell me, does your wife drive?”
