Babe Machines and Bent Bananas
At Stormont we never get quite as earthy as they seem to in the Welsh Assembly . However during the discussion of graduated driving, the DUP's Jim Shannon reminisced about his days as a 17 year old driving a Mini which doubled up as a babe machine". The image promises to give his colleague Peter Weir "nightmares". The Deputy Speaker David McClarty added drily that he could only imagine what Jim's babes looked like.
There was nothing salacious about the "bent bananas" though. That was the Alliance leader David Ford's chosen image for the shape of one of the new proposed super councils. The minister Arlene Foster thought he was referring to a "big banana" council, and added that she was glad he wasn't naming the new bodies.
However I am getting tired of that term "super council", Maybe "big banana" council could catch on before they become a reality in 2011.
