Just saw about 100 tractors and other vehicles including monster trucks go past, all decorated with Christmas lights and beeping their horns.   :D

 

To do with the Alder Hey children's hospital toy appeal or something. Couldn't hear what was being said for the tooting/horns.

Download it and help a good cause (it will only cost you 99p).

 

 

And a second version with Ronan Keating, ;) Pastry ballads! Do we have to expect the good Captain to respond with Pasty ballads? :)

So, who is the "arrogant" one? The other one I think that I recognize. :biggrin_mini:

 

Matt Hancock. Health Secretary. Something I don't think they have a US equivalent of. Not quite like a Surgeon General as it's a political role rather than a medical one.

 

It's normally a pretty minor role like Education which usually consists of doing it for a couple of years and if you do a good job then you might get a better one, but normally disappear without trace. If times are good then you're opening hospitals and announcing a cure for diseases.

 

But you're also the poor bloke that has to make all the announcements and take the blame when things go wrong.

 

Very few of them go on to do anything major. Most of them are pretty much nobodies that only people into politics remember.

Alex Azar? Never heard of him! You would think he would be a bit more prominent in the current situation.

 

Or any of the previous incumbents apart from Caspar Weinberger who was a big name in the 1980s.

 

So probably is a similar graveyard for political careers.

 

 

 

What current situation, don't you know nothing is happening in the good ole US of A?
