Back in the Jug


The vodka and pickles are beginning to clear, and I see Mrs Boyo's careful and, I must say, slightly over-tight packing has brought me safely home from Ukraine to a Britain apparently zombified by the sort of flu once administered to Comrade Zhatko.

I'm therefore lying low on night shifts until the plague has passed, and shall share my dank thoughts shortly.

Ukraine's chief exports are steel, missiles, radiation and preedy gorls, so it's fitting that its premiership ought once more to be occupied by Madame Yuliya Tymoshenko - a lady who combines all the best qualities of those commodities.

Our own lady politicians have not been faring so well - Harriet Harman's facing questions over her deputy leadership campaign, Lady Thatcher is slowly turning into a giant moth, Glenys Bloody Kinnock still hasn't emigrated to Cuba, and Theresa May's secretary must be useless as she never replies to my illustrated letters.

They all need a lesson in campaigning from Madame Tymoshenko, and this Ukrainian folk group shows them how it's done with their song "Yuliya". Take it away, ladies:

The girls did well but the gigolos in skirts let the side down. A lot of rapid leg-movements, as if there were ferrets up 'em, without actually covering much distance.

I wonder whether these trophy wives are all they're cracked up to be. Does the modern Ukranian women suckle her babies and laugh at her husband's jokes?

Now I understand that your penchant for the Ukraine derives not only from volatile potato-based beverages. Budmo!

I'm with gorilla bananas one this. He is generous in using the term gigolos for them. Oh for a bunch of Cossack horseman to have come sweeping through on horseback wielding large swords......

GB, there are two types of Ukrainian women. The krepachka type lives in Western Ukraine, wears braids and big blouses, knits her own house, and suckles and laughs in between washing in her own tears and keeping an eye out for priapic Polish landlords. The second type lives in Kiev, has a krepachka for the suckling, thinks her husband is a joke and devotes herself to shopping, drinking coffee and talking on a tiny mobile phone while cutting up traffic in her 4X4.

mc, the video is no exaggeration - that's what you see in hair salons nationwide every day.

Birdwatcher, you and GB are right about the wimpish toyboys. Ukrainian men are on the whole swashbuckling village-levellers, but their presence in the video would have undermined the message that only a blonde megalomaniac in a pointy bra can sort things out.

I must admit to preferring this one, both visually and, particularly, musically

"Ukraine Is Yuliya" (esp the bit where a young woman in a tracksuit beats up some Eastern Ukrainian oligarchs)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezivpFRNrYE

(although in some ways the lyrics of the XS number you posted are better, at least in the chorus)

No Good Boyo said...

You're right on both counts, Dominic, although I can't help thinking that the Sporty Spice look isn't very Yuliya. The video is still getting plenty of play on TV in Ukraine, which shows the Tymoshenko honeymoon isn't over yet (that happens when she starts acting like a nutter all over again).

Have we met over at Harry's Place sometime?

Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm looking to start my own blog in the near future but
I'm having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking
for something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

solved soon. Many thanks

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more
than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all.
Nevertheless think about if you added some great images or
video clips to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this blog could definitely
be one of the best in its field. Fantastic blog!

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think
that you need to publish more about this subject matter,
it might not be a taboo subject but typically folks don't discuss such subjects. To the next! Cheers!!

Currently it looks like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform available right now.
(from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?

First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your
mind prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my
thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15
minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any suggestions or hints? Appreciate it!

With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My site has a lot of exclusive content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd certainly appreciate
it.
