Cherie & Tony Blair

Yes, so far...

It's time for

(At least this thread is fun, not like some)

That's the bloke! Knew I'd seen him somewhere before - blimey I think we should dispose of those cards before we get visited by a jealous Ayah...

Back to Cherie and Tone:

I think it is a spoof, someone has been sending out a photo of their Madame Tussaud wax models and pretending the Christmas cards are really from the Blairs.

Is it the same old Tom who has just been on the telly? You know the one, looks a bit like Michael Palin but he's about 120.

Oh, I love that one I get every year from Old Uncle Tom - isn't he ageing well? (Probably because it's been the same card since 1970...)

I wasn't sure if I got it right, didn't notice your misspelling.

Of course, pride of place is given to the ones from HM, Charles and Mil, Kate and Will, Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all ....

Show off!

And what's more, you've highlighted (to me) my misspelling of mantelpiece...

Well I like Nick and Miriam's card, despite what has been said in a few circles about it.

It is taking a rise out of the traditional 'here we are playing happy couple/happy family' card sent out by politicians and others.

Love it, thanks Nick and Miz. I shall put yours on the mantelpiece.

Well when has anyone suggested that Ed looks good in a photo?

Deedaa - why are you worried?

Worryingly I rather like Ed Milliband's card which is just a nice picture of them playing with the children. It's when people start "posing" that it all goes horribly wrong.

I blacked a couple of Tony's teeth out, drew some little horns on Cherie's head and put mine in pride of place on the mantlepiece!

Blair looks as though his wife is giving him a wedgie !

When I received it I thought 'Oh, now what, do I bin it or put it on display?'

Not wishing to be boycotted by my friends, neighbours and family, I shredded it.

Does the Queen play darts? Just a thought

That was cute, rubysong.

I would love to see the expression of distaste when her maj receives this tacky card!

I once received a photo card of some children I know dressed as Mary (with doll), Joseph and an angel. It was really delightful. Their costumes were nighties and tea towels and the angel was jumping up in the air. It looked as if they were having lots of fun. Apart from that I wouldn't be impressed. All the party leaders' card photos were shown in yesterday's Telegraph.

I think sending cards with pictures of yourself is odd

He looks terrified - and crickey, who wouldn't be!

I really can't understand why people send Christmas cards with photos of themselves. I thought Christmas was all about the birth of Christ, Angels, Shepherds, Kings, Bells, Churches etc.. Why on earth do they think anyone in their right mind would want that on their mantlepiece

I think it's just a cardboard cut-out of Tone.

Probably couldn't spare the time to post in person!

I know it is cruel to say but when Cherie smiles she reminds me of a letterbox or Cruella de Ville in 101 Dalmations.
