Gordon Brown

I didn't see Gordon Brown on a train, but I did listen to a conversation about him...



Two middle aged women argued about David Miliband and then mused perhaps Alan Johnson might be the person to show the public that the government 'cared'.

One of them suggested Gordon Brown "Might just need to swallow his jaw!". How this would help , or indeed how he would acheive this without dying I don't know . They talked about his family problems but then decided his family problems were nothing in comparison to Sarah Palin's calling her children "Trig" and "Track" as she does.

"I would like a coalition government featuring Vince Cable" The first woman said. Her bespectled friend responded.
"I mean they used to work as a partnership Blair and Brown and they must have hated it but it worked...Like Lennon and McCartney together they were phenomenal, apart it all goes wrong. I mean look at McCartney...The Mull of Kintyre...you just can't explain something like that away."



"Is that a simile or a metaphor?" Asked her friend.



"I'm not sure" she replied.



Then they were silent.
