Can we have a quick chat about this please? [permalink]
I was discussing this with G-man the other day. Umm is it just us, or have you also noticed the incredible pre-vomit-like expression that British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown pulls before and after nearly every sentence? His jaw drops..... and then locks, for a split-second as he draws breath..... and then he carries on talking.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Just about to do the jaw drop.
A better way to describe it would be like those lurches you make before you vomit (a "mock-charge").I couldn't believe it when I first saw it and assumed it was a one-off. Maybe he was tired and having a spate of mini-yawns. Then today I watched a little outdoor press conference held at Camp David with Brown and Bush (I never miss an opportunity to watch Bush speaking live - quality humour) and right there in front of me and the rest of planet Earth, he was pumping out the jaw-drops FLAT OUT! It was SO bad. Surely if it was a habit then they (his advisors and the like) would have trained him not to do it? It can't be good for business. And when you know it's there, it just gets worse. Seriously, you won't be able to watch him speak again.
I simply had to get some footage of it for you and since I found nothing for you on the interestweb, I thought I would record it myshelf and put it on boobtube for you! Why do I do it, you ask? Because my love for you is greater than I can describe. I love you like a son.
Get out of the way!!! Gordon's going to cotch!!!!
And for those of you who for some bizarre reason cannot watch youtube videos, here is a still of Gord's jaw action.
