Having a Bad Day

[Buleste]

Just had a knock on the door. This rather miserable looking bloke showed me his ID for IPSOS/MORI the market research company and said "Just say no. Everyone else has.". So being a gentleman I replied "fair enough, no." and closed the door. I love to see people who are happy in their job:lol:.

:lol: I take it he was doing a survey for the election?

At least someone has been around your area. I've not seen a single person related to the election in this area, and this is very surprising because we have a very marginal seat. In the last election the Lib Dems only won the seat by 100 votes over the Conservatives, so you think they would be fighting more here.

[Buleste]

He couldn't even be bothered to say what the survey was about he was so defeated. I wouldn't be surprised if I hear on the news either a market researcher has killed himself or he's gone on a killing spree :lol:.

I don't even know if this was a marginal seat I just know that the sitting Labour MP is a woman and the Tories have a female candidate who is younger and prettier (notice I said prettier and not pretty because no matter how much I've drunk I've never thought she looked pretty in the road signs and I've tried drinking quite a lot) so Labour have bought out the big guns and I received this through the post today.

Now that a bald, has been "actor" has told me to vote for her I'm sure too.

Which constituency are you in? Romsey/Southampton North?

[Harrison]

Yes, that's the one.

[AndyLandy]

Yes, that's the one.

Apparently that's target no. 4 on the Conservative hitlist. It's a very highly-contested constituency. Sandra Gidley is the incumbent Lib Dem MP, if memory serves.

Alas, I'm in Southampton Test, which is more-or-less a Labour safe-seat, so I don't have nearly as much voting power.

[Harrison]

Yes, Sandra Gidley is the MP "at the moment". All that could easily change tomorrow. Caroline Nokes is the Concentrative opposition.

WTF!!! You get http://www.conservativesintouch.com/uploaded/files/romseyconservatives_co_uk/C%20&%20Dogs%20eChristmas%20card%20photos006.jpg for a candidate and I get http://www.karenbradley.co.uk/files/karen_bradley/Karen%20Bradley%20%28small%29.jpg as a candidate for the Contraceptive party.

I always thought the women in my area were munters:mad:.

:lol::lol::lol:

Obviously need to move mate! ;)

[Buleste]

I wouldn't mind but she had to be shipped in by the Collective Party (probably by cattle truck) because she was born in the Staffordshire Moorlands (she left age 4 and moved back only recently:eyebrow:). They could have at least found someone better looking with a thirst for power. All they have to do is trawl the exclusive nightclubs on a Saturday night for potential WAGS, get her to write down her policies in crayon, get her kit off and she'll have enough votes for a majority ;).

The woman standing for the Conservatives round our way was involved in setting up a religious help-group that aims to 'cure' gays by prayer, apparently :no:

As if I needed yet another reason not to vote for them.

I haven't had anyone visit us regarding the election. I have had a few leaflets though, and a letter from our Labour MP John Healey, who also sent me a birthday card last year :).

If they can set up a prayer group to "cure" gays then why can't they do one to "cure" ugly women. I'd join;). Even better if they created a prayer group to "cure" stupid people then they'd "cure" themselves and create a paradox :lol:.

The birthday card is a marketing ploy to try and show you they care. In reality it is probably just a marketing tool to check you still live at that address. Don't think for a minute that they actually care, because MPs don't.

Warning! Cynicism detector is registering 11!

o2 sent me a bar of chocolate once, I think it was at Christmas time. It pleased me more than it really should have. It was Green&Black's too, so quite nice.

We have received SO MUCH CRAP through our letterbox about this poxy election. I wish I'd kept it all. Absolutely shameful, especially the amount the conservatives have sent.

Most annoying was a letter printed out to look handwritten, and put in a handwritten, nice envelope - getting my hope up for receiving something nice, only to open it up and quickly twig it was more junk :mad:

[Stephen Coates]

We haven't really had more electrion leaflets than we normally get for local takeaways, Dominos Pizza, builders, gardners etc.
