The 2011 Hustings
« on: September 20, 2011, 10:04:34 PM »
Just back from the St Clement Husting. It started at 7.30. I was brain dead by 9.

There must be a better way of doing this. Any ideas?

I have been waiting for a report on what happened.  I could not go along as I am ill again!  Sorry you are brain dead.  Not a good experience for you then.

Four minutes is all they had to woo their audience with I heard.  What about question time Rico surely things livened up then?

Well Cali - to start with we had Darius Pearce who did not want to offer his manifesto to the eagerly awaiting audience! Then Cardboard Cutout Man who was obviously making a statement of some sort but what I don't know.

The questions asked were frankly rather boring, and I agree with Rico, brain dead was the way I left there last night.

IMHO Stuart, Mark Forskitt and Francis at this early stage are worthy of a vote. I will count PB out of my equation as my feeling is he should not be there in any event. What a dour man, not an ounce of personality.

As the song says - things can only get better (I hope).

Naked Razzy, naked! How very tasteless............but on second thoughts!

I have now seen the footage of the St Clement's Hustings last night.

Apparently it is very naughty for back benchers to ask lots of questions in the house.  It wastes the time of the executive who could be doing much more important work.

Perhaps, Bailhache, if real answers were provided the first time around rather than spin, waffle and half truths, the public would be happy and not have to press their elected representatives into going back to clarify the 'question without answers'.

Thank you Mark I saw the videos.  All very well spoken individuals but I will only be voting for the two.

Keep up the good work fellas.  Shame about the cardboard presence, let us hope if voted in that we won't see a cardboard cutout in the States assembly room.

Yup I think that's the ticket. They could parade out in front of the packed audience naked. We could score them on that. Then they would have to sit in a circle cross legged listening to some old school drum and bass whilst smoking a bong for 20 minutes as their scores are being totted up. Then when they are well and truly cained they should be helped to their feet and made to read out their election manifestos backwards.

And there should be no questions from the public. That would be, like the former Bailiff says, timewasting, but for the wasted!

Res Nullius. Perfecto.

Your picture looks amazing. Thank you. Framed.

Are you aware of 'droite de suite'?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droit_de_suite

Could be a tickle?

Lunch?

PS. Dylan's in honduras.

This is how I would select the football team for the 2011 senatorial candidates match against the prison inmates next weekend.

Colley - in goal. Blocking.

Whitworth - right back, not the strongest player, the cardboard cutout lacks pace.

Bailhache  - centre back. Flinty. Hard to pass. Steadfastly refuses to pass to Syvret however.

Richardson - centre back. Sturdy. Tanquerey is his middle name. Just call him "The Tank!"

Corby - left back, can be beaten in the air but a great tackler.

Forskitt -  left midfiield, very much in the 70's brazilian style. Both on and off the pitch. Marked down as a future manager.

Pearce - right midfield, never took the Dennis Wise poster down. But no truth in the Vinnie Jones tattoo rumour whatsoever.

Le Gresley  - holding centre midfield (capt) - models himself on Sting.

Syvret - centre forward - the languid creator, the sublime left foot. Scores a hatrick but might get sent off!

Farnham - right wing - the glamour boy, he's the ronaldo on the far right wing.  Needs to practice his step-overs though.

Cohen - centre forward - has gold boots. And a gold chopper. Entitled to claim the six yard line as his own. Under his own planning law.

Gorst - coach - half time oranges mostly. But with matching orange tracksuit and trainers. Nice touch.

Lagadu - physio - keeper of the magic sponge.  This woman has great healing powers.

So it looks like a 4-4-2

           RC (5)
CW (12) - DR (11) - PB (2)- LC (8)
LF (7) - DP (9) - FleG (1) - MF (6)
       FC (6) - SS (4)

===========

IG (3) - SL (10)

Squad numbers predict the final election result.

You should be hugely flattered!  I am sure that ole razzy is referring to great Brazilian footballers like Pele.  I have no idea what other Brazilian you could have been thinking of?
