Bong!
Bong!
London awoke this morning to the site of world famous clock, Big “The Beast” Ben sprouting a glorious moustache.
Agog at the sight, retired civil servant Geoffrey Pike said, “Is it real or a stick on one? I blame the French,” before walking to the baker’s to buy his cat some fish. Without success. As an insurance policy he tried the bank. Again with no success.
With this long-awaited modification Big Ben will be known as Big Bhai.
Sorry I am putting an Indianism here. Let me explain: Ben means sister in one of the Indian languages. And Bhai, you guessed it, means brother. With the latest addition it cannot be a sister any more…
Thanks for that Ankur, I shall think of it as Big Bhai from now on…
I worked right across from there and would he happy to assure Mr. Pike that as always, the French are to blame (unless Ben is Asian and it takes him years to grow a mustache like my friend Mark).
Never trust a man who struggles to grow a tache!
It should remain permanent.
Maybe it will!
Egad! Looks like Ben is channeling Theodore Roosevelts face Walrus.
but shouldn’t the stache be on the face?
Very good Guap!
ALWAYS blame the French. Best scapegoats ever.
Never fails with the English!
Wishing you a Happy Movember Day and week Ginger.. 🙂 xx
Cheers Sue!
Il est en effet une moustache! *rires français*
Double Dutch to me…..
No, a French moustache!
Everyone a winner!
Shocking!
Call the. Police!
On second thought, perhaps its in honor of Movember, where men are spouting mustaches to bring attention to men’s health issues. Are they doing that in the UK?
I have one adorning my top lip for the month!
Good for you! We must see!
No way! It looks awful
Your effort is still appreciated.
Of course BB would have a handsome and dignified stache.
Mais Oui!
I think in France they’re wearing their mustaches below the clock.
They would, wouldn’t they
Looking quite the dapper gentleman there Ben
It is isn’t it
Oh my God! I love your tags! Insurance policy! You crack me up. I’ll add it to the Movember list!
Subtle Hey Susie!
It does look like Roosevelt. Quite dapper
Did he have the Rough Riders or some such?
Had to curl the mustache or would have gotten caught up in the reins (ouch)
Roosevember!
Moosevember!
