Margaret Thatcher calls the House of Lords

by Robert Popper on September 23, 2009 · View Comments

I’ve never been able to do any impressions in my life, apart from my Grandma and the alien that shoots out of the guy’s stomach in, well, Alien.

So it shocked me as much as it shocked the people around me, when I discovered I could do a 65% good impression of former UK Prime MInister, and now, Baroness, Margaret Thatcher. And, well, that sort of meant that I had to do these two naughties…

Sorry ma’am…

Thanks to @wiggywalsh for doing all the piccies – and to @popcorncomedy for showing these the other night.

And I mean, I’m not a fan of Maggie’s but really, “phone the service centre…….. Madam Thatcher”. “Call back”. What is the world coming to ! Hahahaha.

Not the Maggie I remember

4 Johnny Walker September 23, 2009 at 10:04 pm: Haha! What a wonderful list of items to have crammed into one bag — And the table tennis bat! *sigh* Just the right side of ridiculous.

I do think he could have been a bit more helpful, though!

A very good impression, too, Mr Popper.

(that was a really badly phrased sentence. i’m sure there’s a better way of putting that.)
6 Lewis September 24, 2009 at 2:55 pm: Amazing as always!
7 Hanna September 27, 2009 at 1:07 pm: I do hope Baroness Thatcher gets her buttons back. I do hate losing my spare buttons.
