China Bird Shoe Flew

Stocks to Watch - Take Care - China is Easily Cracked

There are no stocks to watch 'cause it's 2 a.m. but there was the amusing incident of the Chinese bird shoe flew virus.

....................................................... ........ (The Tibetan Flag)

Hu Flung Shoo at Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao but missed, but the guy was a long way away so Alpha ++ for effort!

(The 'shoe' and Wen Jiaobao - I'm sure you can figure out which is which)

Is this a new trend for politicians? Maybe they will be getting training in shoe evasion? Who knows? There is probably a law against encouraging people to propel footwear in the direction of visiting pillocks, and as we here are law-abiding citizens we certainly wouldn't want to do anything of the sort. This particular "despicable" (Chinese word not ours) miscreant was arrested on suspicion of causing a public order offence, which could be punished by life imprisonment in some unnamed countries east of Tibet, but here it will probably get a Chinese burn from plod and a caution.

The Chinese said they have "expressed their strong dissatisfaction about the incident,''

The British have grovelled and expressed their deep regret as is only to be expected, after all we think the Chinese have got some money to flash around! Unlikely in these crunchy times but hey I'm sure Gordon Brown knows what he's doing. But then I'm an idiot.

"Facts show the troublemaker who conducted this mean act is not accepted by the public, and he will not stop the trend of a developing friendly relationship between China and Britain.'' That was the Chinese who said that not Gordon Brown.

We wonder if it was a clean shoe, or if it had just trod in some dog poo. If it had we could then call him Hu Flung Dung - which would be really silly of course. But it's late.

Anyway if you've got any old shoes lying around, don't take then down to the charity shop - go have a fling. You might want to practise first of course, as so far all the shoes flung have missed. Maybe it could be turned into some sort of Olympic sport?

The reason why the shoe was flung was that China is a dictatorship and it invaded Tibet and murdered thousands of people there - "How can you listen to this unchallenged?" the guy shouted and encouraged people to walk out in protest, but they had all been individually castrated before being let in and were all eagerly awaiting their tea and scones, so preferred to hang on and listen to the Chinaman's drivel and platitudes.

He also lectured Gordon Brown on how to run the economy apparently, but Gordon prudently took no notice, he was too busy preparing his next expense account I wonder if he'll claim for his lightbulbs again this year ? - see Gordon Brown Says Let Them Eat Waste?

There is a prediction by the way that once Buddhism is restored as the official religion of China, the Dalai Lama will be chosen as Honorary President of China. Now that would be a turn up for the little red books.
