    well saved

    "unless he was able to produce biometric passports for the shifty-looking beasts of burden."

    and that folks is how you successfully add an IT angle to an otherwise daft story

    Please take note.

    A touch of humanity really is inspiring. The border official should be commended for merit.

    Alan Moore rides again

    Wasn't Abdelaziz a 2000AD Future Shocks character- The Man with Two Brains??? As usual some other idiot has got hold of another excellent Alan Moore idea and rewritten it- This time as The Man with Two Asses.

    What a surprise, indeed

    I thought it was regarding someone with two exits and four posterior cheeks.

    More immigrants

    Bloody French donkeys coming over here to take the jobs of ours on the beach. Just bloody swim ashore and set up shop. This is what you get with the EU - French donkeys invading our shores - they couldn't do it before when Nelson gave them a good spanking, now they are sneaking in via our seaside resorts.

    One minute it's donkeys - the next there's no more burgers just waffles and odd pancakes. Send 'em back with a french loaf up their asses.

    Mmmmm! Donkey!

    Shame he wasn't trying to import his two faux-horses into France. They'd have eaten them.

    Come to think of it, what's the best wine to serve with donkey? I'm thinking something like a young Shiraz.

    I'll get my humane killer....

    No, it just means Nanny, as in the nice lady who looks after your screaming pre-school sprogs while you make a donkey of yourself posting asinine comments to Reg articles instead of working.

    Oh dear

    Cos as soon as they would have crossed the Channel, both donkeys probably would have caught Foot and Mouth disease or something else as likely and probably drop dead within a week

    I don't blame him for not wanting to visit the UK

    as being the police state it is, I wouldn't want to set foot there either. And I was born there!

    If he had shared the dingy with the drunk bloke they could have ensured that both made it across and could have avoided customs totally.

    The IT Angle

    Well it mentions "ass" several times. That's good enough for me. :-)

    Paris, because even though as far as I know she is only in possession of a single ass well, just because!
