The day after the UK election from lucy pepper on Vimeo.

Portugal-based British illustrator Lucy Pepper sums it all up perfectly.

Check out her blog too.

I just spotted a witty remark in the comments of an article titled ‘Would Europe back President Blair?’ on the UK Guardian’s comment is free section. It genuinely made me laugh out loud, and I think it needs sharing, so here it is;

Question: Would Europe back President Blair?

Answer: Preferably off a cliff, at the point of a bayonet.

Well said that man/woman.

Gotta love all those 134,000 opportunists, profiteers and dreamers out there.

Michael Jackson had that many close personal friends?

I think not.

For a long while I have been meaning to write a realistic description of the ‘Portuguese way of life’, as Dog knows there are enough Googlers ending up here after searching for one.

Luckily, though, I see that Lucy has beaten me to it;

“The “Portuguese way of life” is a strange myth invented by the British and the Germans and the Dutch who all come here in search of it, but that’s their problem.  It’s just warmer, the fish is fresher and the beer is cheaper.  Most other things, like working, laundry, washing-up, traffic jams, in-laws, sore feet, etc., are pretty similar, so get over it, you forrins.”

So there you are, if you want to know what the ‘Portuguese way of life’ is really all about, just read the paragraph above, and if that doesn’t do it for you, go read some more.

Just stay inside till it’s gone. Good practical advice in a time of need.
