Never heard of him. At first I thought he was the time-travelling guy, but then I remembered that guy’s name was John Titor.

(moving this to Random…seems too funny for Ordered :))

At the request of Billystar, I’m moving this thread back to Ordered. If I don’t see namecalling, negative generalizations, references to the devil, bloodshed, etc. I’m moving it back to random. So don’t play nicely if you want to see it stay in this forum 😛

cause he swears on live television, he punches protestors who hit him with eggs, he talks about why the public should use public transport at the same time owning two jaguars, cause he’s a fat, ugly, moronic, loudmouth, b\*\*\*\*\*d who had a mate who became Prime Minister and turned round and gave his waster friend a job

should have said that this guy is Deputy Prime Minister here in UK, which is a big deal.

This is the guy who wouldn’t meet striking fire fighters at a meeting that overrun until 3 (a meeting he wasn’t at) in the morning cause he wasn’t gonna get out of bed until 7 causing the strike to run for another week.

an actual John Prescott quote…

> The objectives remain the same and indeed that has been made clear by the Prime Minister in a speech yesterday that the objectives are clear and the one about the removal of the Taliban is not something we have as a clear objective to implement but it is possible a consequence that will flow from the Taliban clearly giving protection to Bin Laden and the UN resolution made it absolutely clear that anyone that finds them in that position declares themselves an enemy and that clearly is a matter for these objectives.

wtf :huh:
