Madame Tussauds wax lyrical over their new additions.
Nick: You see thanks to Will here and 7999 others we have managed to give Sheffield Forgemaster some work. So if you want any saxophones made we can adapt the Olympic Torch design they could do with the extra work now.
“They’re about this big and are made with steak, swede and potato – no carrots.”
“Woah, put that away”
“See Will didn’t I tell you he was dope!”
Bill: “You see Will didn’t I tell you this guy was dope!”
“No, Nick, I’m Billy, he’s Willy”
“. . . .and he’s so funny, you’ll be on your knees!”
Will.i.am: I am a popular musician who has many fans amongst young people and is widely respected in my field..
Bill Clinton: I am a popular former US president who has many fans of all ages and I am widely respected worldwide for my efforts to promote peace in the Middle East.
Clegg: I have armed bodyguards and I am driven around in an armour plated car in order to be protected from the young people of England and Wales. Something to do with tuition fees or some such trivia, I think.

Nick – ‘so you did this…. and then what did Monica do..??
“So, Bill, what do you do with your half-used cigars?”
“My man, here, takes care of business.”
NC: “Since I’ve been trying to give up smoking, I feel I need something else to keep my hands busy.”
WJC: “My main man, here, could teach you plenty other uses for those cigars.”
NC: “It’s my Party’s position that Interns should always get properly-paid for their efforts.”
WJC: “In my country, the TV stations pretty much have that end of things well-covered.”
“WJC:

NC: “R…iii…ght. Er.. the thing is..well – perhaps he could start in as an unpaid intern and we’ll see what happens – we don’t want someone who’s too lippy…”
Interiews for the new LibDem Voice judging panel attract at least one person who misheard the job description
