Who is Bob Piper - in 16 words?
Yesterday, we were finding retirement jobs for William Hague, so I thought I’d swing the other way today.
A question was innocently asked from deepest Wales on the Blogpower mailing list yesterday:
Who is Bob Piper?
A short question, requiring a possibly long answer. This is what I said:
“Long term ‘provocative and vigorous’ blogging Labour Councillor from Birmingham-ish”
That’s 10 words. If I get my full 16:
“Long term ‘provocative and vigorous’ blogging Labour Councillor from Sandwell (Birmingham-ish), who supports Yorkshire Cricket Club.”

Double Trouble: Ming Campbell and Ming the Merciless
I haven’t done one of these for a bit, so to celebrate the party conference season, I introduce Ming the Merciless and Ming the Campbell. (Courtesy of Unity). Although Jonathon Ross with his new beard is arguably a better lookalike. Ouch.
