That's easy. Just look at the blighter. As the Tory MP said, "My lavishly paid brother-in-law I mean occasionally remunerated research assistant Mr Swanneewhistlus?" Tap tap. "He has his nose very close to the ground, old boy."
A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
