Sleazy Tiger’s Blog of Sleaze Literary Report:
From the STBOS Literary Columnist:
In a series of staggering news stories in recent months the value of a historian’s word as beyond reproach has been remarkably damaged. First, Stephen Ambrose, the writer of numerous historical books, including the blood ‘n guts and male bonding fest that was Band of Brothers, has been accused of lying in his biography of Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The American General turned President was supposed to have met with the author for ‘several hundred hours.’ However it has been alledged that Ambrose in fact had only 'hours of contact' with the ex-President (a similar situation arose when Evil Joe claimed to have spent time with the great Australian pace bowler Dennis Lillee at his Fast Bowling Clinic, a falsehood that was quickly exposed when he was asked to open the bowling for the First XI) and this quite massive fib has destroyed the credibility of the biography (Evil Joe’s fib destroyed his credibility and his bowling figures). With any other historian this would also have irredeemably tarnished his career, but Ambrose was already known as the kind of sod who would tell you that Dinosaurs were the key naval landing craft in the D-Day landings if he thought you could make a profitable TV series out of it.*
[*This is of course complete tosh. It was the X-Wing squadron led by Wedge Antilles that decisively turned the tide for the Allies on June 6th.]
This was followed by the equally incredible (but far more hilarious) story involving Orlando Figes the notable Cambridge scholar who graduated with a Double Star First which is also known as the ‘too f**king clever by half’ class. His monumental intellect was matched only by his monumental ego which led him to post glowing reviews of his own books and scathing attacks on his contemporaries’ works on Amazon’s customer reviews feature. The Professor’s ingenious pseudonym of his first name and the University College he worked at was unsurprisingly cracked without the use of an Enigma machine or the need to resurrect Alan Turing.
The sins of these two respected (a bit of a stretch for Ambrose but we’ll allow it) historians came as a shock to us here at STBOS. A greater surprise came when our own Sleazy Tiger was slandered by a reputable historian. Sleazy Tiger’s autobiography has recently been published, entitled: “I F**ked You’re Mum: the life of Sleazy Tiger.” The work provides fans of the wayward rebel a detailed look into his past and the experiences that made him the massive waster he is today. However, noted academic Professor D.O.A. McDull, PhD, MA, BA, WLTM VGL FB, has cast aspirations on ST’s Magnus Opus. In an interview with the Times Literary Supplement Prof. McDull called Sleazy Tiger “...a liar, a cad and a reprobate.” and labelled our role model as a “...falsifier of that which the historian holds must pure, the truth.” Sleazy Tiger responded to this attack by thanking McDull for the kind words but declined to comment further.
STBOS felt that this was an ideal opportunity for an exclusive look (the TLS has already given the work a brief review, the shortest in its one hundred year history: ‘Pure S***e’) at ST’s work. Short passages from the book will be printed in four installments that give insights into the history of our fearless leader and the incidences that made him the Tiger he is today. Sleazy Tiger himself declined to join the discussion of his work. He said he was happy for his words to stand alone and felt they needed no defending: “Unlike Ambrose and Figes” he proclaimed “I have told nothing but the truth. Except in the parts where I didn’t.”

Sleazy Tiger’s Official 2010 ‘British General Election Drinking Game’
In honour of the momentous Election Night that is to come tomorrow and, more importantly, to honour the joyous fact that the Election Campaign will finally be over and the levels of bullshit in the world will become remarkably lower, Sleazy Tiger has printed the ‘British General Election Drinking Game’ rules. Every year, ST produces an updated version of this fine tradition to reflect the current political situation and to adequately get the participant absolutely pished. The origins of the ‘British General Election Drinking Game’ are lost in the mists of ST’s various transgressions, but he believes it started when he was forced by circumstance to follow the 1922 General Election and found it so mind numbingly boring that he took to chugging double G & T’s anytime the radio announcer giggled at the name ‘Bonar Law.’
He has since continued the practice and often invites the candidates along for the fun. So far, the only main party candidate to take up the offer has been Winston Churchill. After drinking the party dry he then went on a joy-ride down the Strand in one of the tanks named for him. The shadowy powers that control World Politics from behind the scenes deemed his actions to be objectionable and stripped him of his rightful election victory. And that’s why the Conservatives surprisingly lost the 1945 election.
The rules of ‘British General Election Drinking’ are simple. If something happens, you take a drink. The substance and quantity of the drink is especially tailored to reflect the significance and character of the result that has occurred. It’s also fun game for all the family* to enjoy in a style that optimises the value of family espoused by the Tories, the boost to the economy championed by Labour and the alcoholism enjoyed by former party leader and current Lib Dem MP [correct at time of writing] Charles Kennedy.
*Note: Children often cannot hold their liquor. Sleazy Tiger blames bad parenting and asks that all small humans who have not been brought up to be able to down 10 shots of Sambuca be excused from the festivities on the grounds that they are wusses.
Drinking concerning the Election outcome:
For every Labour MP elected:
take a drink.
For every Liberal Democrat MP elected:
take a drink [Participants in previous editions of the ‘British General Election Drinking Game’ will have noticed that this is a reduction from the double of previous years].
For every Conservative MP elected:
have your butler pour you a glass of the Château Cher Vin Pretentious and enjoy in your leather wingback with your dogs in front of your roaring fireplace in your country pile. If you don’t have any of these things, take a drink of whatever cheap swill you have and weep for your future pleb.
For every British National Party/English Democrat Party/National Front MP elected:
take a drink, then organise a lynch mob.
For every United Kingdom Independence Party MP elected:
take a drink. Not wine, it’s foreign European muck. Not Leffe, its Belgium. Bloody Brussels, taking all our money. Heineken? Are you having a laugh?
For every Green Party MP elected:
if you did not vote for them, take a double of whatever you like. If you did, take a drink of Camomile tea and get a haircut you damn hippy.
For every Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition /Socialist Labour Party/Worker’s Revolutionary Party/Communist Party of Great Britain/Communist League MP elected:
take a drink of vodka Comrade and follow me to the Odessa steps!
For every Official Monster Raving Loony Party MP elected:
stop taking acid, take a drink.
For every Sleazy Tiger’s Party of Sleaze MP elected:
down a bottle of Absinthe.
Drinking concerning Election Minutiae:
For every time Gordon Brown looks genuinely happy:
no drink required, not going to happen.
For every time David Cameron tries to play down his poshness:
drink a bottle of Stella in a salute to ‘Dave’.
For every time Nick Clegg makes out that it is a three horse race:
take a drink and laugh at his optimism.
For every time the BBC interviews a celebrity for their opinion:
take a drink and repeat until you pass out and are spared from the torture.
For every time Jimmy Carr looks smug on the Alternative Election Night:
take a sip of water [This is a rehydration rule aimed to keep the participant in the Game all-night long].
For every time David Mitchell says something witty, insightful or clever on the Alternative Election Night:
take a sip of water [See above rule].
For every time the BBC use a fancy graphic to illustrate what they are saying/predicting:
if the graphic is informative, take a drink. If it is not, take a double. If it is utterly pointless, drink in proportion to how utterly pointless it is.
For every time someone mentions ‘Bigot-gate’:
take a double and describe yourself to anyone in earshot as a ‘penitent sinner.’
For every time someone mentions a ‘hung Parliament’:
mix various drinks together and down. Unlike an actual ‘hung Parliament’ this will actually be able to do something. Most likely, causing you to go blind.
You have played the ‘British General Election Drinking Game’! If you’ve made it to the final result, congratulations. You are now horribly drunk and thus ready to face whatever catastrophes the new government will no doubt create.
Sleazy Tiger supports drinking responsibly. Remember, wine then beer, never fear. Beer then wine then whiskey then vodka then amaretto then rum then port then bourbon, never fails.

Sleazy Tiger and the Holy Grail
As Sleazy Tiger looked out over the world that he had not created because he couldn't be arsed but was more than happy to take credit for, he felt pride. Everywhere he looked he could see reflections of himself. In the brothels of
One of his disciples was much holier than thou should have been and was failing to spread the word through deed. Sleazy Tiger looked down on this apostle and was displeased. EVIL JOE SPURNS THE LOVLIEST OF THE THINGS I DID NOT CREATE, THE WOMAN. Sleazy Tiger thundered. IN DOING THIS EVIL JOE FAILS TO HONOUR ME PROPERLY. HATH I NOT GIVEN HIM ALL HE COULD WANT? A JOB IN A PROFESSION DOMINATED BY WOMEN? A POSITION IN A UNIVERSITY WHERE THERE ARE MANY NUBILE YOUNG FEMALES? I EVEN MOVED HIM TO THAT
Sleazy Tiger was greatly angered and considered vengeance against the renegade disciple in the form of a plague of STDs. Eventually his wrath cooleth. NO. Said Sleazy Tiger. EVIL JOE HATH BEEN A GOOD SERVANT TO ME. HE HATH SWORN. HE HATH STOLEN. HE HATH DRUNK TILL HE WAS LEGOED. HE HATH PUSHED AN OLD LADY UNDER A BUS. I MUST DO MORE TO GUIDE MY SON (Paternity Suit Pending) IF HE IS TO FIND HIS WAY. Sleazy Tiger decided this, and it was good.
Sleazy Tiger then appeared unto his most loyal and favourite disciple, Tristan the Rock, in the form of a burning bush. I AM SORRY TO DISTURB YOU MY SON, BUT I HAVE A DIVINE TASK FOR YOU. Sleazy Tiger charged his disciple to come up with 10 chat-up lines for Evil Joe at the British Juggling Convention. FOR IF HE CAN NOT PULLETH THERE, WHAT HOPE HAVEETH HE? Tristan the Rock agreed and sought Sleazy Tiger’s patience to allow him to finish what had been interrupted. Sleazy Tiger assented, but insisted that Tristan might want to get checked out after that burning bush. Tristan did so, and it was not good.
Tristan the Rock made a pilgrimage to the holy
I - Want to see my Two Ball Mess?
II - You look like you’ve got experience in handling a long staff.
III - Come on, what better offer are you going to get round here? Aside from him. And him. And him.
IV - I’ve always loved a girl in a Hula Hoop.
V - You do realise random underage girl, that I could buy you booze & fag?
VI - I’m a unilateral American invasion force and you’re
VII - Yet another drink?
VIII – I’m like Saddam Hussein. Well hung.
IX - You look like a supermodel. Yeah, one of those plus sized ones.
X - I’ve always thought Poi could just as easily be used as restraining chains.
Sleazy Tiger read of the commandments and was pleased. He ordered Tristan the Rock to deliver them unto Evil Joe. Tristan did so, and was rewarded by Sleazy Tiger with Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh, which were their stage names.
Sleazy Tiger also sought out another apostle, James the Just. JAMES, YOU HATH USED YOUR STAFF SKILLS TO PULLETH A FINE JUGGLING WOMAN. YOU MUST GUIDE EVIL JOE THROUGH THE TRIALS THAT ARE TO COME. LET HIM NOT FALL INTO THE TRAP OF THE UGLY, THE OBESE OR THE INSANE (THOUGH GOOD LUCK FINDING ANY SANE JUGGLERS). YOU WILL BE REWARDED FOR YOUR SERVICE WITH THE STAFF OF MOSES, WHICH CAN DO SOME REALLY SWEET STALLS. James heard Sleazy Tiger’s proclamation, and vowed to follow it faithfully.
The Romans came unto James and offered him thirty pieces of silver if here were to ruin Evil Joe’s chances. James the Just considered their offer, but deemed that, whilst getting crucified was the closest Evil Joe would get to being nailed, it was not worth it for less than fifty. The Romans offered forty, then forty five pieces, but demanded a 30% share of the betrayal. James the Just would not give away more than 25%, and so decided to go it alone. James was pleased with his resilience, and declared that he would not deny Evil Joe three times before his cock could crow. Sleazy Tiger blessed this statement and stated that he held great hopes for a Second Coming.
Sleazy Tiger supports prayer. Specifically, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God Yes, Yes Yes Yes Yes!

More Sporting Shenanigans
This is a message from the Office of Sleazy Sports, established 2010. More precisely, yesterday. ST himself has deigned that he has been irresponsible in ignoring the sporting field. This is mostly due to ST watching some of the Athletics over the weekend and realising that women in small outfits getting sweaty and at times handling poles was well within his remit. But mostly ST has found that the sporting world has become more and more a reflection of himself in recent times. Distant cousin Sleazy Tiger-Woods doing the dirty with what seemed like any women he could land a golf ball within five yards of (and bear in mind, he is very accurate) was a clear sign to ST that it might be time to watch Sky Sports a little more often and XXX TV a little less.
But in the last week, another figure has made a massive contribution to dirtying the good name of sport. An early contender for 'F**king stupid f**k of the year' 2010, stand up and take a bow John 'Tiger' Terry. The England Captain and Chelsea defender made a spirited effort to improve dressing room banter by doing the dirty with teammate Wayne Bridge's (now former) girlfriend. This was backstabbing of a compatriot on a scale not seen since a juggler with the initials AH nicked his flatmate's girlfriend. The similarities end there however, as Tiger Terry has not since been back to the scene of the crime and mercilessly mocked the broken ex-boyfriend.
Public condemnation of Terry has flooded in, not least because he is married with two children (or 'Unwanted Side Effects' as ST refers to small humans) and is Captain of the England football side and therefore expected to set an example. ST feels that much of this criticism is unwarranted and that Tiger Terry deserves a defence counsel. To this effect, ST has released this list of points in support of Terry:
1) The England Football Captain needs to be representative of England football fans everywhere. Therefore being a complete arsehole and shagging his best-mates girl is the least he should be doing. Terry should also be drinking 15 pints of Stella a night, getting into fights and generally being a loud wrongly-opinionated tit.
2) The lady herself (a Ms. Vanessa Perroncel) was an absolute dog of the sort not seen since the last time Evil Joe passed the Colchester branch of Liquid at 2am on a Friday night. If Terry in any way contributed to the break-up of Wayne Bridge and Ms. Perroncel's relationship then Bridge should be buying him a beer and thanking him profusely. ST does not mind a bit of ugly in his women (by and large the munters don't even force him to use the chloroform), but orange with a face like a bulldog that has been kicked repeatedly in the balls is too much even for the Master of the Slip Away Before The Light Comes On Only After Destroying Any Evidence of Where You Might Be Found.
3) In the last World Cup, many critics blamed the England WAGs for distracting the players and reducing their performance on the field. Tiger Terry was clearly working to a plan, that he would take one for the team and make sure they could not disturb the players. Here is an example of how Terry's masterstroke would work (and surely secure the World Cup):
[Date: The night before the Big Game. Location: Chez Rooney]
Colleen: Come on baby, don't you love me?
Wayne: Not tonight Sugar Lump, I need to be on top form for tomorrow's game. The boss said if I score a goal he'll give me back my Tickle Me Elmo.
Colleen: But Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayne I'm horny! Since we are in South Africa and no one knows who I am I need to get my attention from some other mentally retarded audience, and you fit the bill perfectly.
Wayne: (To himself) This is not good. She's going to touch my special place soon and I'll lose all my frustration and rage for the game. And then how will I manage to do something stupid and get myself sent off? I know, Captain Terry told me if I had a problem like this I should call him.
[Rooney walks over to the phone and punches in a short number. After five attempts. And after realising that he was using the remote he manages to get the right number]
Wayne: Skip? Yeah it's Mr Potato Head. The wife is bugging me and I need help. You'll be over in five minutes? Great. What's that? Condoms? I prefer pulling out but if you want Skip I can get you some. What? No its pretty light in here Tez. Yeah I've tried turning out all the lights and shutting the curtains. Several paper bags as well, right you are Skip.
[Terry does his Captainly duty (with the help of a bottle of Sambuca and a picture of David Beckham taped over the paper bags), Rooney gets a good night's sleep and wakes refreshed the next day. He gets sent off, England finally stop playing like a One Man Team and pull together to bring the game and the Cup home. Stirring rendition of God Save the Queen and the scene fades to black]
4) Terry was upholding the noble traditions of the 'Right de Seigneur' also known as the Captain's Prerogative. This gives the skipper the right, nay, the duty to nail his team's women if he sees fit (though Lord knows where he saw the fit in Perroncel). The last time this ancient custom was used to such good effect was in India, where an injured England Cricket Captain Michael Vaughan was rumoured to have been stroking Marcus Trescothick's wife through the covers. A distraught Trescothick returned home, leaving the openers bearth open for Alastair Cook to make a sublime debut. And then decline into mediocrity after a couple of seasons. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
5) At the end of the day, who really gives a shit what mischief the England Football Captain gets up to. He'll still be an overpaid, under-brained narcissistic twat of the highest proportions. It would be a better to give him a checklist of naughty things to accomplish when he takes the job, getting rid of the surprise and shock when they become public knowledge. Suggestions for suitable bawdy acts on a Postcard to the FA please.
