Well now we know exactly what Alan Johnson thinks of Lord Darzi, a key part of Gordon Has-Bean’s “Government of all the Talents” (GOAT)
“Some went off message and had to be reprimanded.” Johnson says: "We don't have a goat problem in this department. Our goat is tethered."
Now I don’t know about you but I suspect describing a consultant general surgeon as “a tethered goat” is hardly a tactful move. Of all doctors consultant surgeons are rebellious, rambunctious, and retain their grasp of the vernacular. They are likely to threaten immediate orchidectomy to anyone who doubts their masculinity…
I hope Sir Ara Darzi is not a eunuch, and has not lost his grasp of the vernacular. His predecessor Sir Lancelot Spratt always said that, “a successful surgeon must have the eye of a hawk, the heart of a lion and the hands of a lady.” They still do.
And I wonder where Alan Johnson’s testicles will end up. They’d be quite a coup for the collection of the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons. Better that than Sir Ara ending up as the scapegoat.

And usually the temper of a hungover bear with throbbing haemorroids. If I was Darsehole, I'd deck Johnson. Except, like most doctors, he doesn't know what the invisible postman looks like.
I'm surprised. Didn't know Postman Pat could speak.
Mr Salmon - you are exposed. It is spelled haemorrhoids, as any real surgeon would know.

I'm a real surgeon and I can't spell emmaroydz either
other things I can't spell include amytriptyline and sphygnonamometer
That just proves you're dyslexic. It doesn't prove you're a sturgeon
I'm more of a fishician myself.
And I'm referring Hugh Janus and Frank Malaena for surgical opinions
Haemorrhoids, haemorroids, I really don't care. As far as I'm concerned, you can shove them up your arse.
It's famous that Scotsmen are like Haemorrhoids.
Applying this to Scots politicians:-
Some stay up and bleed the country dry.
Some come down, ruin the country, and then go back up.
Some come down, ruin the country, and stay down.
Gordon Brown is a sore haemorrhoid at present, probably with perianal dermatitis as his cabinet, and a perianal haematoma of a budget deficit. Yes he's a right pain in the arse.
Dr Blue you're a genuis.
