BREAKING NEWS: In a shocking plot twist, James Cleverly is unmasked as the Emperor Dalek!
@cstross i once watched Cleverly walk into a cupboard, rather than out of a meeting room.
Despite his aide very clearly saying:
"Not that door James. It's a cupboard."
Twice.
@Roadwarrior29 @garius @cstross James Cleverly, the one-man disproof of nominative determinism.
@glenatron @Roadwarrior29 @garius @cstross OTOH we've had Pincher, Johnson, and Bone.
@glenatron @Roadwarrior29 @garius @cstross Who sound like a law firm specialising in sexual harassment cases.
Which I guess they sort of are.
@ersatzmaus @glenatron @Roadwarrior29 @garius@me.uk @cstross - Hello, you've reached Pincher, Johnson and Bone.
- That's right, we do specialise in sexual harassment.
- Oh
- Oh, no, we can't help with that.
- We do, but
- I think that what you're looking for is a lawyer to help /defend/ your sexual harassment case.
- No, what we do is quite different.
- Goodbye

This is Julian and Sandy territory
It sticks out half a mile...
@Wolf_Baginski @bencurthoys @ersatzmaus @glenatron @cstross “We have a criminal practice that takes up much of our time.”
@Roadwarrior29 @garius @cstross Ah yes, James "Not Very" Cleverley.
@Roadwarrior29 @garius @cstross
Cleverly...one of the finest examples of nominative contradeterminism 
@bright_helpings @garius @cstross "IANNUCCI WAS WRITING SATIRE, NOT AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL, YOU FUCKING OMNISHAMBLES TORIES!"
@garius Just so I’m clear, did the aide say it twice, or did he walk into the cupboard twice? I ask because both seem equally plausible.
@garius @cstross TBF I think it was Eric Heffer who had a reputation for storming out of Labour Party meetings. About the only time I've heard my father use the F word was when reading aloud an account of Heffer attempting to storm out (again), and throwing open a door only to find it was a cupboard: he tried another door, and got another cupboard; on his third try, it was a broom cupboard, and a broom fell out, hitting him on the head. "Oh, fuck it," he said, "I suppose I'll have to stay now!"
