We're not racist, just trying to stop boats : Comments

By Lyn Bender, published 11/6/2013

There they are on the Bridging Visa to nowhere, waiting for nothing, as nothing continues on. Like an unending scene in Samuel Becket's absurdist play, Waiting for Godot.

Actually, Lexi....I just found another link to SPQR and the Can-Can.

Some while ago, he and I explored the proposition that he had in fact mis-nammed himself after "Senatus Populusque Romanus".

I suggest that perhaps he should go under the tag SBQR - "Senatus Burlesque Romanus"

I don't think I convinced him though : )

Dear Poirot,

Great stuff!

As Cicero stated:

"Damnant quod non intellegunt."

@ Lexi,

<<As Cicero stated ...>>
Well, I guess we should be thankful for small mercies, at least it wasn't New Matilda this time, just some old Greek!

Maybe he would have been Greek....

If he hadn't actually been Roman.

Stay out of this Poirot I set the trap for Lexi and you walked straight into it-darn!

He lived in Rome, yes --but he was Greek--and was referred to as "the Greek"!

Hmmm! on second thoughts you might be right, Poirot.
Anyway, we'll chalk it up to you.

So that's Poirot: 1
