HaHa ain't seen one of them for a long time, in fact I think you could have got about 4 pints with one in those days:rolleyes:

Re: John Prescott elevated to The House of Lords
 

You should have slipped him one of these.

He'd never have noticed.

:D

I'll have you know sir they were legal tender in Ossy for many years, used to get them in my change at the local bakers, seems their son was a dab hand with John Bull printing kits:D

Seems that Prescott isn't the only left-wing fire brand who'd rather preach 'Do as I say, not as I do.'

He lives in one of the most expensive blocks in London not Barnsley and I bet Skinner doesn't retire to Bolsover

A true socialist ;)

Re: John Prescott elevated to The House of Lords

No, just a hypocrite, and they aren't confined to any one party.

I have just watched Have I got a bit more news for You on BBCiplayer
BBC iPlayer - Have I Got a Bit More News for You: Series 39: Episode 9

Prescott is this weeks host and denies he has accepted, or even been offered a peerage.

There are some quite hilarous moments in this - worth watching

I can't help but like the chap - he can laugh at himself, which is rare in politicians.

Re: John Prescott elevated to The House of Lords
 

i watched it earlier in the week, made me laugh when he couldn't pronounce that word properly

Re: John Prescott elevated to The House of Lords
 

See, somethings on television are worth watching.

As for the ability to laught at himself.

He never appeared on the programme before his retirememt.

Much too risky, letting the electorate see you, warts and all.

He is laughing now...for a fee, as he tootles off to the Lords.

Re: John Prescott elevated to The House of Lords
 

I suppose that's what's now called taking advantage of the Free Market Economy.

Or to use it's older name, whoring.

Ha, ha, ha.

Hee, hee, hee.

I'm a laughing buffoon,

Can you afford my fee?
