Search Result of the Day: Sion Simon MP and Dill the Dog.

    Sometimes life delivers blogger strawberries on my morning cornflakes without my having to ask.

    One this week was to discover that my “triple trouble” post from way back in April comparing Sion Simon MP to Jonathon Ross and Dill the Dog from The Herbs is now number 12 in the search results on Google for “Sion Simon“.

    Heh. It makes it worthwhile, and shows the value of simple longevity and regular posting.

    It’s also on the front page for Google UK for the same search, at number 9.

    Here’s a (long) snippet. I’ve missed out the photo of Sion Simon MP in Recess Monkey’s evening dress.

    Dead Ringers

    It was a toss-up between Jonathon Ross and Dill the Dog as a ringer for Sion Simon MP. I couldn’t decide. In the first row he is being serious.

    While in this row Mr Simon is being a fool on television.

    I’m not going to be forgiven for this by the Liberal Democrats, but Sion Simon’s television demeanour and wavey hairstyle do rather remind me of Ed Davey when he was in his early teens. Ed Davey, though, is now a serious politician.

    Dill’s Song

    Dill has a famous song (below), which catches something of the way Sion rushes around appearing on televison.

    I’m Dill the Dog,
    I’m a Dog called Dill,
    though my tail I’d love to get,
    I’ve never caught it yet.

    Sion, of course, has his famous video. Here it is for those who must play it again.

    No, the Lib Dems will not forgive you, Matt but that’s life.
