Flogging a dead horse… – The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on March 4, 2013

Ms Raccoon regrets, but she was daft enough to pay a flying visit to the UK last week – and naturally has returned full of genuine UK issue germs…

Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Hope you’ll get well soon. Just take more rest.

I’m sorry but these are not UK germs. Nowadays germs, like all health
paraphernalia, drugs and medical parts are an EU competence, and under free
trade rules the UK may not discriminate by preventing the free export of germs
to other EU countries.
Of course if UKIP get their way we will erect
customs and trade barriers to prevent our germs being exported to France but
in the meantime please pass this gift along to your french friends with our
blessings (normally blessings are applied after a sneeze, do the french know
this?)

Mudplugger March 5, 2013 at 09:00: I suspect UKIP would actively encourage the export of UK bugs to France
but would wisely aim to prevent any trade in the opposite direction. I’m
sure they have well-worked plans for the anticipated threat of millions of
new bugs from Romania and Bulgaria starting next year.
The UKIP Cabinet
post of De-Bugger General would seem likely, although competition for the
post may be limited to defrocked cardinals or retired BBC personnel, of
which there should be adequate supplies. This will of course ensure
predictable and complete failure, as is always the case when any UK
government attempts to resist anything unwholesome originating from within
the EU.
In the short-term, Anna would be well advised to avoid exchanging
bodily fluids with any other transnational.

I often feel a little horse..I mean hoarse. Of course. Maybe we need
Inspector Morse?

Every time you drop from sight, we fret. A speedy recovery, Madam.

Visit this sceptic isle at your peril! I’d sympathise but I have it
too…

Roy Fernley March 4, 2013 at 21:24: Septic isle perhaps?

I hope la Raccoon has not caught what I did, nearly 5 weeks on and it still
is stubbornly refusing to let go………I went for a very happy marriage but
everytime the U.K. beckons it results in something unpleasant.

I hope this isn’t a result of you taking a glass of wine from one of
Gildas’s Borgia chums. Get well soon.

No, I fear it might have been lunch in Cambridge…..beware!

SisterEvaLongoria March 4, 2013 at 21:19: I was in Cambridge the week before… pity we couldnt meet up and visit
the tanning studio! And then have a kebab!
