I'll watch anything, says girlfriend who won't

A WOMAN who claims she is happy to watch any TV show or film is only open to doing so until offered options, it has emerged. 

Sophie Rodriguez and Tom Booker settled down for an evening together as a couple, which means watching television for two hours, when Booker courteously asked if she had a preference.

He said: “I was, after all, holding the remote. However Sophie’s generosity outweighed my own as she handed me carte blanche to put on anything I chose.

“So I put on a six-hour documentary about the pyramids, but she wanted something a bit less educational as she’d been in work all day, which is fair enough. So I found a good South Park where Cartman’s a cop but she said she doesn’t like cartoons.

“I thought TOWIE would do it, but she said it was too trashy and reminded her of her colleague Jessica, who to be fair is a slag. So I suggested Andor on Disney Plus but she didn’t want to start something new and anyway aliens aren’t people, which is inarguable.

“I found this Sherlock movie with Jude Law in that’s easy, mindless entertainment which would be all wrapped up in two hours. Apparently that would be past her bedtime.

“By this time I was getting pretty narked as she ruled out quiz shows, soaps, reality, any nature documentary and anything to do with death. I tossed her the remote and told her to pick something. She went off in a huff so, in a foul mood, I put the footy on.”

Sophie said: “Tom was really stressy about it. When I came back in he had football on, so I said if that’s what he wanted to watch all he had to do was say. I’ll watch anything.”

Is the government in meltdown? Let's consult the Trussometer

IS Starmer’s government in irretrievable Chernobyl-style meltdown, leaving Britain uninhabitable for decades, or is this a minor kerfuffle? Let’s consult the Trussometer!

Q: Has the government lost a referendum it very much banked on winning, causing the prime minister to resign?

A: No! And even if it had, that would only reach the base Cameron level on the Trussometer with no need for any other action other than appointing a new prime minister, completely changing course and embracing policies never mentioned in electoral manifestos.

Q: Has the government repeatedly lost parliamentary votes over its signature Brexit legislation causing constitutional crisis against an approaching deadline?

A: No! In fact the government is consistently passing all its legislation and even if the above happened it would only reach the second May level, with no need for any action other than appointing a new prime minister who will prorogue Parliament.

Q: Has the prime minister been forced to resign after multiple ethics breaches, including partying during lockdown, by mass resignations of all his ministers and cabinet?

A: No! There has been one cabinet resignation, one ambassadorial resignation and the departure of a minor aide. And even if all that happens it only reaches Johnson on the Trussometer, meaning that a new leader can be elected by members and a fresh government begun with no links to the last one, in which its prime minister served.

Q: Has the country gone into economic collapse before emergency actions including the resignation of the chancellor, the reversal of the mini-budget, threats of a vote of no confidence and the resignation of the prime minister after just 44 days?

A: No! And while this is the top level of the Trussometer and would have it dinging wildly, all that would be required in that situation would be to appoint a new prime minister, ideally one who recently lost the members’ vote, to shepherd the country back to stability.

Q: Is the government Labour?

A: Yes! So the government is in complete meltdown, the prime minister must resign and a snap general election should be held. That’s the Trussometer’s verdict!
