The Big T’s Fourth Plinth Bid

It’s official! The Big T, Dr. Y.U. Thropplenoggin, has tossed his pith helmet into the Fourth Plinth tombola, and now awaits to learn if he will be able to mount the plinth, thus enabling the Trafalgar multitudes to behold the proper bosh in the safari-besuited flesh!

An artist’s impression of how the Fourth Plinth

may look after Dr. Thropplenoggin has mounted it

Expected delights of such a plinth-mounting may include:

• Choice selections from seminal works “In Like Thropplenoggin!” (brutally unpublished) and Boswell’s London Journal
• A live rendition of Thropplepluggin’, the ditty-cum-gauntlet which The Big T “threw down” in the badinage battle contra-R’d Cor!
• Lessons in Thropplenogginese for the multitudes
• Sauntering
• Flouncing
• and sundry boshmongering of the highest order
