Ming is a bastard.

Do you know what's worst? I had to split that word up into many to have it posted on one single line. Otherwise it gets split up automatically in between 2 lines, despite not even being too long for one.

Time to 'fess up. Bling-Bling

Like most things, the poms are way behind the times on this one. He's already presided over a one-ming dynasty here lasting more than 18 years.

Sir Ming

Menzies was renowned as a brilliant speaker, both on the floor of Parliament and on the hustings. His nickname "Ming" derives from the traditional Scots pronunciation of his surname ("MING-iss", although "MENZ-ees" is the prevalent pronunciation in Australia), but undoubtedly his imperious manner (and bushy eyebrows) also reminded some of the evil villain in the Flash Gordon serials, Ming the Merciless; his role in the sale of scrap iron to Japan on the eve of World War Two earned him his other nickname, "Pig Iron Bob".

I thought it meant Ming's my lover. I don't believe this place, millions of Finns everywhere but as soon as you need one there are none to be found.

That's what I thought as well...

Me too. Can one of our friendly neighborhood Finns settle this?

[polarnomad]

Indeed, that is what it means.

Bitte schön.

Ming got owned today at PMQs. I think talk of Ming ruling the UK is (thankfully) premature.

Ming a bastard?

He's a teddy bear... he just posts in all caps so that people won't notice his deep need to be loved.

Rah on the other hand is the smiling viper... seemingly urbane, but completely ruthless... expect to see him in a Bond movie.

Pretty much. I can't remember seeing UR lose his temper or post in caps.

Ming has won.

But then, he always does in the end.

Soon he will be the Emperor of this country...he hasn't got his goatee at the moment, he is growing it back after he got it caught in a food processor...

[Gibsie]
