DB: I, Derrick Burgess, take thee, Alexander Scott, to my wedded husband....""
JV: hang on a minute, I think I gave you wrong form..

So what you are asking me to do is go to the airport, stand in the waiting area and hold up this sign that reads: 'Mr. Poopy Pants'?

[Rob on 08.09.06 at 07:52]

Hold on, I've forgotten the order now...

So that's one special with no anchovies, a vegetarian deluxe, and a pepperoni with extra cheese.

Did anyone want garlic bread?

Hang on hang on, what's this in the small print about "no union shop"?

[Tiger Bay on 08.09.06 at 08:06]

Verecker: "Come on you guys, sing along!"
Others: "Hummph. God save umm umm our gracious ... "

Premier Scott had to seriously keep his inner child under heavy manners as he thought about the extensive renovations required at Government House, to suit the position of future Prime Minister P.

ZZZZZZZ *** UM UM UM That's right Brother Derrick. Be a good little um um, field so and so, and get back in the fold. Hey! Folds hold sheep. We could have the Ag Show, or whatever its called, at Government House in two years. Problem solved!

DB: Your deputy's permit expired last month. Now let me look at yours. The rest of you, line up behind him with permits in hand.

Alex's thoughts: "The fish can stay but he's go to go ... whoa nice carpet!"

[Darkside on 08.09.06 at 09:06]

Alex humming to himself:
"In the house where Alex lives
Alex's!
it's a mess of souvenirs
there to remind
telling the time
in the garden where you go
flowers die
people say it's cold out there
you disagree
she's telling me
come and spend the day at Alex's house
have some time away at Alex's house
write a note saying please don't go
please don't go ..."

Gov: "But I'm not going anywhere!"

Derrick: "That's what you think mate!"

Alex (humming louder now):
"... come and spend the day at Alex's house
have some time away at Alex's house
write a note saying please don't go
please don't go
Alex's house
Alex's house
Alex's house
Alex's house"

Bro DB: Says here Johnny, that you arrived in 2000. As we hardly consider you 'key personnel' you'd better start packing now.

[Darkside on 08.09.06 at 09:30]

Derrick: "... John I don't see anything here about returning your damage deposit at the end of your lease."

[Adjustah on 08.09.06 at 09:34]

Labour AND Home Affairs? Hmm, well, OK, but as long as there's no hurricanes, you guys. I mean, we know what happened last time...

[Darkside on 08.09.06 at 09:45]

John: "So which one of you is Mini-me?"

[Buzz Lightyear on 08.09.06 at 09:57]

Burgess: "Here's your copy John. Bermuda's new constitution. P drafted it this morning."

Vereker: "I don't think what you have here represents a legally-binding document..."

Burgess: "Oh, don't worry, we're going to get it typed up."

[Bundy & Coke on 08.09.06 at 09:59]

The Three Sopranos rehearse for their first professional engagement, a 30 minute set at the Hilfmann bar mitzvah...

[Denis Pitcher on 08.09.06 at 10:24]

John: "Derrick, please step to the front of the class and present your book report".

Derrick: "umm, umm... the cat in the hat was a story about a cat who, umm, umm... wore a hat..."

P: (thinking to himself) "Why didn't I get to present my book report? It's sooo much better!"

[Darkside on 08.09.06 at 10:44]

Derrick: "... I have here a written complaint from the union members in your employ that on the following dates you did knowingly fail to say "Good Morning" ..."

[Buzz Lightyear on 08.09.06 at 11:54]

Burgess whispers to Vereker: "John, go easy on the big words next time you write a memo. P gets confused..."

[The Right Reverend Uncle Elvis on 08.09.06 at 11:57]

"Thuh-thuh-theee THE! duh-duh-duh DOG! wuh-wuh-wennnn... WENT! Toe? Toh? TO! The stuh... um.. story? STORE! to... um.. boy? BUY! A... um... buh... boh... bon-ee... bonnie? BONE!

P thinking: "Horton's gonna be pissed."

[silencedogood on 08.09.06 at 12:25]

"As the new Minister for Labour and Home Affairs I'm pleased to present government's latest initiative--the 6 hour work permit limit."

[Tiger Bay on 08.09.06 at 12:25]

Burgess: "Hey Guv, this Phil Wells guy, he's one of yours, right?"

[SmokingGun on 08.09.06 at 12:35]

P thinking: "Damn I didn't get a speech written for me. I'm gonna have to wing it. What the hell was it that I read about Randy on the PLP website? Oh yeah - something about sports accomplishments yaddy yaddy ya."

[Ali on 08.09.06 at 13:29]

DB, Sorry Sir, 6 years is your limit, we treat everyone equally so I can't make exceptions.

[Martin on 08.09.06 at 13:32]

Sir John: "Derrick...if you want a part in the upcoming pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"...just read it as it's written".

Derrick: "Did you say "Snow WHITE?"

[Phil on 08.09.06 at 13:42]

As the Great Fish Uprising continues, the Blue Marlin send in their agents to spy on the humans.

(Come on Adjustah, where were you with that one?! ;) )

[Darkside on 08.09.06 at 13:43]

Gov: "Derrick how come my copy of the Government House Hurricane Preparedness Plan says to stand outside holding a large Union Jack?"

Derrick: "Oh sorry ... that's the Emergency Relocation Plan ..."

Alex: "Psst ... Derrick ... it's the same plan ... the Emergency Measures Organization thought it would save money."

[SmokingGun on 08.09.06 at 13:53]

"I'd like to thank everyone for this check in the amount of $100 million that I will make sure is spent on all the right people."

[Darkside on 08.09.06 at 14:04]

Derrick: "John I'm sorry to inform you that your work permit renewal has been denied. In our opinion you don't hold a "key position" nor are you a "key person". Furthermore, you are an impediment to the career path of the Bermudian behind me."

[SmokingGun on 08.09.06 at 14:07]

"Um Um P - it says here I'm supposed to be taking care of Home Affairs. I 'm gonna have to get the OK from the wife on that one."

[Adjustah on 08.09.06 at 14:20]

"As the Great Fish Uprising continues, the Blue Marlin send in their agents to spy on the humans.

(Come on Adjustah, where were you with that one?! ;) )"

I was curious as to the one that looked ready to fly into his ear like a Goa'uld symbiote!

[Oirish on 08.09.06 at 14:53]

DB: Hmmm... your papers seem to be in order. Remember to continue to carry them wiv you at all times. Next ...

[Oirish on 08.09.06 at 14:55]

DB: ...and what is de purpose of your visit ?

[teacher on 08.09.06 at 15:40]

John as the party said to the rest of this country “get ready, because you are getting neighbors soon” The SDO for Government house was granted because affordable housing was a matter of national importance. Now get over it!!

[SmokingGun on 08.09.06 at 16:43]

"Jeesh guys, no wonder Randy's pissed off that he's been demoted to watching the trees grow. This is a nice little portfolio here. I can use this for all sorts of fun stuff. For starters I'm putting cameras up here at Government House to keep an eye on you Guv. And your house too P."

[Martin on 08.09.06 at 17:38]

DB: "Right then John...let's just go through the list. There's one painting over the fireplace, some ornaments on the wall and the chair that your taking with you". Everything else goes on Emoo - right?"

[save d cut on 08.09.06 at 19:11]

Alex Scott aka P:
I hate backbench ass kissing!
W.Lister-done

"oompah loompah doompedy doo..."

[SmokingGun on 08.09.06 at 20:37]

Um Um Guys - there's something fishy going on here."

[SmokingGun on 09.09.06 at 11:49]

P thinking: "Dang. I've shuffled so many people around I can't remember what I'm here for."

[Linda on 09.09.06 at 13:13]

P thinking: "He ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but hopefully he'll bring in the workers votes and the homies will forget about Randy's "We're coming to get you" crap. What was he thinking?

[Linda on 09.09.06 at 13:14]

P thinking: "He ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but hopefully he'll bring in the workers votes and the homies will forget about Randy's "We're coming to get you" crap. What was he thinking?

[Darkside on 09.09.06 at 15:35]

Gov: "Now behave yourself Derrick ... I already had to put Alex on a quiet time for 'swearing in' this house."
