Re: Coro

Jottings from the Journalist's notepad. Due to his entirely unexpected changed domestic circumstances the Minister is forced to dine at his club which is not noted for its cuisine, but the poulet de bresse, venison, seasonal game, and the spotted dick and custard are passably standard fare.

Re: Coro

For clarity, I needs must explain that my earlier reference to BoJo and cojones was not intended in anyway to imply that in his meeting In Brussels with Ursula he should actually show her his cojones.

Re: Coro

Went the Day Well? No! Ask Richard 111.

However, he was supremely confident on wi...

Re: Coro

Greg, an excellent idea which might not be greeted with enthusiasm in Paris. However it is by far one of the most sensible proposal to emerge from the Breixt and Coro sagas. be told, stay safe! ps Apparently the Whotehall number 1212 is continually engaged. pps UKIP have added birching of miscreants...

Re: Coro

Another meeting of journalist and sub editor. The Minister is now isolating. It can’t be too difficult for the tracing Tsarin. It is either the Ghillie or the stag.

No, but, yes, but No but yes Minister. Mainly No. Jottings from the Permanent Secretary. Minister, your laptop is pointing at the ceiling.
