Too Funny. Too Right.

Seen last with emony: It Wasn't Me. Or Me. Or Me, Actually

Is anyone taking bets on Tony B going for Pope eventually? Cos I'll have a piece of that.

In Goblet Of Fire news I have to say I'm a bit concerned as to the dragon pic floating over on TLC here. But why are you concerned?! I hear you all cry out as one hysterical mass? Well, having been unfortunate enough to have sat through Reign of Fire, with the least scary, most stupid dragon since the one belonging to Pete, I have to say that it reminds me too much of that, a film notable only for the slashiness of the lead characters and the fact that apparently in the case of awakening an ancient race of dragony things, we British will of course require the help of Matthew McConaughey doing his best John Wayne impression. I have it on good authority that dragons are particularly weak against sarcasm and diffident disinterest, so I think we'd have the edge on the gung ho lot anyway.

Oh, Britain, go out and vote tomorrow, would you? People fought and died so you could get your card through the letter box. Don't let them down, no matter who you choose. Although choosing someone who can actually pronounce the word 'people' as opposed to 'peepill' would be nice, not least because that's the least of Michael Howard's crimes.

So, Election 2005? Dictionary definition of simply trying to choose the least bad of all the choices. Politics in Britain floundering? Yes. Do people care? Not really. Has Labour sold its sold and heritage and history down the river? A little bit, yeah. Worse than the Conservatives? Not yet.

Are you thinking what we're thinking? Well, as the Conservatives are, as usual thinking about themselves and rich people, no, I don't think I am.

Then again, Labour would have us all carrying around our life histories and biometric details on ID cards, so what then?

As for the Liberal Democrats, I don't think 'vote for us so the Tories don't get in' actually constitutes policy.

Yes, this is the dictionary definition of trying to choose the lesser of three evils. Still, go and vote, kiddies.

So... any ideas on what will happen in tomorrow's election. I'd say "Fancy a flutter?" but no, I don't think I will ;)

Well, if I had to make a guess... I would say that someone will win tomorrow. I actually think it's more open than last time but less open than some are saying- I don't think people trust Labour as far as we could throw them (oh, but for THAT chance, though) BUT there's a definite 'At least they're not the Conservatives' feeling amongst many.

So, do we choose the bigot or the liar? One side would have our borders closed completely despite his own parents being immigrants (one illegal, btw) and the other would just hand us over to Bush given the chance. As for the Lib Dems, they have always appeared to me to simply be somewhere in the middle, trying to catch dissatisfied voters from either side. Which means they might have a chance this year of getting a few more seats ;)

It also turns out that my constituency is one of the most vulnerable Labour seats in the country. We're like, crucial... and yet nobody's bothered trying to court my vote. Perhaps they know I'm leaning more towards anarchy (and also my good friend Annearchy;) ) than anything else and regard the leaders of all the parties with equal contempt. Except of course, Ian Paisley over in N. Ireland, who I have both contempt and disgust for. But he would regard me the same, so everyone's the same. Sums up this whole ridiculous fisco.

The state of politics in this country is such a rut I'm practically thinking of running myself, just to shake the thing up a bit.

OH!! You should run. Seriously. You'd have to be tonnes better than most of the candidates :))

At least you have three evils to choose between.

We Americans only get two. And they yell at us for two years about it. Sometimes, they never get the message and STFU, as our "religous right" has taken to doing. Damn Paulists. I'll be laughing my head off when they're burning in hell.

At least you shouldn't have too much of a problem with a man that can't talk. We have had a President that can't say "nuclear" to save his life, and considering we have 2600 more nukes than anybody else, it kinda scares me that he'll mispronounce something and suddenly we're going to be in the middle of a "nukular" holocaust.

Yes, this is the dictionary definition of trying to choose the lesser of three evils.

That pretty much summed up my thoughts in the booth. Well, that and 'Stupid buggers have spelt my name wrong on the voting card'.
