The Ludovic Kennedy interview in Yes, Minister

  • Ludovic Kennedy: Your party is looking for a new leader and your name’s been mentioned a few times.
  • The Hon Jim Hacker MP: Oh. Quite a lot, I believe. But no, I’ve no ambitions at all in that direction.
  • Ludovic Kennedy: So you definitely won’t let your name go forward?
  • The Hon Jim Hacker MP: Well, Ludo, all I’ve ever wanted to do is serve my country. I’ve never sought office. But if my colleagues persuaded me the best place to serve it from was 10 Downing Street, I might perhaps reluctantly be persuaded to undertake the responsibility whatever my own private wishes might be.

This would have been AMAZING if it were to really happen.

This is beautiful.

This may be the best thing I have seen on the Internet in years. Whomever did this deserves a medal. Bresslaw as Colossus and Williams as Magneto is a stroke of genius.


Carry on X-Men The typography isn’t perfect but top marks for everything else. This is brilliant on so many levels.

Bodensee-Klassik Some lovely classics here. My eyes went to the Triumphs and the Merc 300 SL Roadster in front. Look for a bit longer and you can spot the Gullwing. Beautiful.
