Jammie Dodgers in the news

Doesn't happen very often, but occasionally, our illustrious JD makes it into the pages (web pages!) of the media:





Cameron doubles women's presence in shadow cabinet to four
By Cathy Newman, Chief Political Correspondent
Published: December 9 2005 02:00 | Last updated: December 9 2005 02:00


David Cameron underscored his determination to lead a more modern Conservative party by appointing a record number of women to his shadow cabinet yesterday.


The Tory leader, who has promised to address the "scandalous" under-representation of women in the party, has put four women in his shadow cabinet - double the previous figure.


Theresa Villiers, an MP for just seven months, has been catapulted into the top team as shadow chief secretary to the Treasury. A eurosceptic, Ms Villiers made her name as a Tory MEP who campaigned to save Jammie Dodger biscuits from European Union rules. She also saw off a German proposal for dogs to have temperament tests.




Didja spot the JD mention?  Didja?


Here's a pic of the lady herself:


Theresa Villiers


Not a very flattering pose, I have to say.  Can't find much detail on her battle to save the JD, but she deserves a Jammie Knighthood for her efforts, nontheless.  Even if she is a Tory.

Heh, reminds me of an old, rare Phish bootleg I have, with a sweet Harpua on it:


http://www.phish.net/reviews/harpua/07-16-94.html




More fun begins in the dialogue between Jimmy and his Dad when Mike substitutes:


"Jimmy, your cat got hit by a comet"


for "It's about your cat, Poster."  After that:


all: "Poster is dead"
Fish: "hit-by-a-comet!"
all: "Poster is dead"
Trey: "Hit  by a comet"
Fish: "hit by a comet!"
all: "Poster's SO dead"


Fun indeed!

I'm sure that was one one of the trailers before a movie I saw recently.  Definitely seen it before - I remember the truck.

She is vaguely attractive and therefore I would vote for her...


Politics is great...

Do you think she's meteor-proof?  She looks meteor-proof.

I was basing it on other pictures on the net - rather than the one above where she does look a bit basserds (that's f.r.e.n.c.h considering JDKs fliters)
