Dorks of the year 2023

 


As this is the tenth Dork of the Year post, the committee has decided that something different should mark the event, something linked to the number ten. 

A perennially obvious problem has been the number of suitable candidates; choosing only one has never been adequate. To reflect the increasing number of Qualifying Dorks, we have proposed a team of Dork Astronauts suited to relocation on Mars. 

Initially a team of ten has been proposed for the imaginary trip to Mars. Their task would be to set up a permanent Martian base camp adhering strictly to the principles they so often insist on for others.

The Martian Settlement Team for 2023 is –

Rishi Sunak
“Sir” Keir Starmer
"Sir" Ed Davey
Gary Lineker
King Charles
Humza Yousaf
Sadiq Khan
Justin Welby
Matt Hancock
Nick Robinson

First define "dork".
Each of that lot would win depending on a definition.
Then there are the missing. - Who keeps Gary Lineker in a job? Ect.
But thank you for cheering us up.

Mr Hancock will be unavailable on account of being hanged for Treason as punishment for his part in the great Covid outrage.

Chromatistes.
And none of them would be missed.
Except by the Bwitish Bwawdcasting Corruption.

Doonhamer - "Who keeps Gary Lineker in a job?" That's it, the task is impossible, too much to untangle.

Chromatistes - And who never would be missed...

dearieme - he could even make a mess of being strung up by tripping over the hangman and knocking him unconscious.

Doonhamer - it would be a real pleasure to see the back of the Bwitish Bwawdcasting Corruption.

I'm sorry that there aren't any Yanks on the trip!

Surely there's room for several like Biden, Kamala, Pelosi, Kerry and Gore!

Can we set up a sort of trailer behind the thing to tow that lot up there as well please?

It doesn't have to be air-conditioned, just an open trailer...

Scrobs - good idea, if anything they are worse than our lot.

Could we please add a roof-rack for Jean-Claude Juncker and Emmanuel Macron too?

Macheath - that's a good idea, although they may try to fly to Mars as a spaceship collective which never actually gets off the ground.
