All The President's Men...

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

Roger entertained us at the weekend with the incredible story about his encounter with President Bill Clinton in Montana whilst still in office. Naturally, I didn't believe a word of it. PAH!

This arrived in my inbox a short while ago. I have sought permissions from the highest level to post it here (I really hope you can see this, Malc). Roger is second from the left.





I sincerely hope that no-one on this board seeks to diminish the gravitas attached to this amazing evidence by turning it into a caption competition.

No, no, I'm serious.

Oh, all right then - if you must...

Hmm - no picture shows up for me! I'll have to add a caption to an imaginary one.

"I know you bought a round, Roger, but that was 17 years ago!"

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

I've changed the image host for both the above picture and the one I posted on the 'burning ears' thread. Hope everyone can see them now. Please let me know if anyone's having problems. I may not be able to fix it, but I can at least stamp my foot a lot.

[The Peepmaster]

How funny - I hadn't seen the photo, but my caption was entirely relevant!

[Malc]

I have the uncomfortable feeling that (in profile at least) Roger looks like ME!!
The guy in the stripey shirt looks like Kevin Spacey.

[Roger Kettle]

The guy in the striped shirt is my mate and fellow Custer-loonie, Alan. I've never noticed the Kevin Spacey thing before but, from that angle, you're right! I don't think I'll mention this to Alan--he's a six foot two, former Arbroath centre half who kicked strikers in the air for fun.

Clinton to Spacey: "It's good to see you hanging out with ordinary folk for once - no one famous."

[Mince]

Clinton to Spacey: "Your friend in profile looks like Roger Kettle. Send him the photo and then he can pretend he's met me."

Spacey to Clinton: "That would be fun. But are you saying that the President of the United States knows Roger Kettle?"

Clinton to Spacey: "I'm not the president. I just look like him."

[Malc]

NOW will you believe me?

[The Peepmaster]

Clinton: "Hilary - I TOLD you if you sat at the bar and drank too much you'd end up looking like a drunken Scotsman!"

"Is that a cigar in your pocket...?"



Astonishing, Malc - they even have the same shirt.

[Malc]

That's what knocked me for six too! I mean, what are the chances?

Don't you think the guy on the right looks like Roger De Courcey

[Roger Kettle]

Col, that's the American journalist who insisted we bluff our way into the restaurant/bar that Clinton was in. We'd met him earlier and he's a writer for Time magazine who goes by the name of Pat Dawson. (He's also an author, broadcaster and ace harmonica player). A lovely guy who I'm still in touch with. As far as I know, he's not a ventriliquist.

No Nookie then?
