Thick as


















Who would be so thick as to mash the expression "thick as pig sh*t", and say instead, "thick as batsh*t"?
And who would be so thick as to say it of David Beckham?
A Prime Minister?

Surely not!

But David Beckam is as thick as bat shit, I'm confused!.

Would this possibly be the same Prime Minister quoted in the ODT saying Europe is 'stuffed' ? What is the average person meant to understand from such high powered financial analysis?

But Europe is stuffed, I'm confused....

The question, Shunda, is not whether Beckham is thick, but whether the Prime Minister should say that to students at a girl's school and whether, given that Beckham spent 45 minutes with Key's son, Max, chatting, Key should say that of him - it does seem churlish, don't you think? Suitable Prime Ministerial behaviour? No. Most interesting to me though, is Key's own thickness when it comes to phrases. Thick as batshit?
preserve us from fools, eh!
Your confusion is worrying, Shunda. perhaps if you took some wise counsel, rather than relying on the gormless utterings of our soon-to-be-deposed Prime Minister...

The first question should be - did he actually say it?

Otherwise, strangely enough, I agree with you RG. IF he did say it it is very poor form.

Paranormal

Shunda.. I was commenting on the PM's remarkable profiency with the english language :-) Seriously, I was suprised that the PM used such a term to describe the European financial crisis to the Chamber of commerce.

Yours is a fair question, para. Fun to jump the gun though. Personally, I think it very unlikely that he would use those words at a girls' school, but perhaps he was out of earshot and talking to staff, who knows? Not a peep from national so far. Perhaps it will escalate. Hope so :-)

I reckon he said:

"Thuck uz but shut"

Such is his accent.

It could have meant almost anything

:)

Or nothing at all. Either way, Key can claim he didn't say it.

"Surely not!". Not like you to be backing the prime minister and question the media Robert. Nice to see you changing colours when logic requires though. I didn't think it was possible but have been proven wrong. Sorry for doubting you.

You are forgiven.

Does anyone actually know the consistency of bat shit? Robert, please find out for us.

Lucky young Max and his class-mates eh...the best my son's public school can manage is a visit from Peter Dunne and his hair, the latter doubling as a petting-zoo, which admittedly is kinda cool.

Imagine if the PM had said something similar in regard to an All-Black...lucky they're all Mensa members.

Did NZ REALLY deserve a Prime Minister such as John Key??? ... HERE IS PROOF THERE IS A GOD WITH A SENSE OF HUMOUR!Why pick on us, is my question. Can you really believe the latest polls, or are they are as rigged as we suspect!!!

robertguyton said...

Well, Ami - we got what we deserved, but there's no reason for continuing on with the farce. Vote him out.
