apolla: (Rock and Roll)

Seen last with [livejournal.com profile] 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.
