Poor Alastair Darling, embattled chancellor of the exchequer.Hated by the pub industry after his merciless hike in alcohol duty in this year's Budget the man is even barred from his local, Punch Taverns owned Red Lion as a result.
As the UK economy splutters and Bank of England head Melvyn King hums "There may be trouble ahead" in his ear, it seems everyone's happy to have a laugh at his expense.
Kitchen Rat was more willing to raise a glass to JD Wetherspoon's latest advertising campaign the budget beer purveyor is promoting Abbot's Ale for a wallet friendly £2.39, along with a range of other keenly priced tipples under the poster headline - you've guessed it - "Move Over Darling".
It's enough to make a man furrow his (strangely dark) brow.
