Guido just received this via email. The perfect end to a perfect week for Clegg. Well it is late on a Friday night…

However, there is a quip worthy of the Tavern in the comments:

He is now known as Nick C - because he hasn’t got a legg left to stand on….

I say no more, since I only have one source on this and that is Mr Fawkes…

Wrapping up

Just in case you’re wondering: it’s from Hitch Hiker. I somehow think most Lib Dems would know that already (for the record - that’s a compliment).

Vogon poetry is widely accepted as the third worst in the Universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by their Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem “Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning” four of his audience died of internal hemorrhaging, but the President of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off. The absolute worst poetry was written by Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Sussex. Luckily it was destroyed when the earth was.
