Are there any reds out there...

[matthew123]

By the way LadyMuck it is our Cup - we actually got to keep it after winning it 5 times, the one the Red&Whites are holding was a new one melted down from some old lead piping beneath a Manchester sewage plant (hence why it takes both Rio and Giggs to hold it) ;-)

[PeckhamRose]

Back to topic, I assume he didn't mean football.

I consider myself Socialist side of left, so feel very let down by all parties.

A very nice leaflet was pushed through my door yesterday featuring a 20 yr old student who is running for the Workers Socialist Party. I was very tempted to consider until I read through and was appalled at the atrocious spelling and several contradictions within the leaflet. Now I'm stuffed!

[TonyQuinn]

I have my Vote Labour poster on my window and proud of it.....saw another one at the dry cleaners next to EDT. Question is not where are the reds.....where are the hell are the blues? Thought they were on course to be the government...Yeah, right!

[????]

I haven't seen one Conservative poster or any conservative canvassers yet,,,have had a leaflet

Oh very funny Matthew!!!!!!:))

OK...back to politics...

[Michael Palaeologus]

Yes enough with the soccer-ball twattery. That is carefully isolated in its own thread.

*snivels*

But Mr. Pallywotsitoos Sir, the Football Focus thread got too aggressive...open Man. U Fans were mercilessly bullied and therefore the remainder of Man. U fans were closeted...add to that the fact that the majority of posters did not appreciate repeat postings of George Best...I got scared, so I ran away...boo hoo

[PeckhamRose]

I also have not seen any Tory window stickers round here, or had anyone from their party round here. Or LibDems either. Labour lot came round and I asked them a heap of questions of things that concern me (free prescriptions - GBrown had said he would!) and they said all the 'right' things. Oh Christ I have no choice.

Tough. Stop following soccer-ball and do something more productive with your time.

[Ladymuck]

Mr. Pallywotsitoos Sir, what could be more productive than following and supporting the most successful football team on the planet pray tell?

Moreover, and with the greatest of respect Oh Chief Bhuna of Poppadoms, this thread is entitled "Are there any reds out there...". This in itself does not preclude the citation of football teams provided they are "red" of course and therefore I am well within my rights to act as I have. However, as I do not wish to cause our esteemed Chief Naan Bread Bhuna undue grief, I shall instead

. Please feel free to join in at any time.

[TheArtfulDogger]

Got excited by the subject

Read the thread

But NOT ONE SINGLE RED HEADED LADY ... sigh....

[Ladymuck]

Just for you TheArtfulDogger...the beautiful redhead Moira Shearer putting on her red ballet shoes

Phoooaaarrrrrr

Now where did I put my box of tissues :-$

[tonyw3]

Jenny Jones of the Greens herself came a knocking on our door. But no reds, blues or yellows yet.

[brum]

Alas, there are no reds, or greens, or pinks, or any other colour snooker balls in this vicinity. We need a snooker hall! (Great idea for a thread, I think)

[tonyw3]

Despite Brown looking haggard and tired I thought that his performance today was good. He looked a bit ragged as though he had his heart, soul and sleep into this final push.

How do people rank the various leaders in tonight's debate?

I rank them:

Brown: 9/10

Clegg: 8/10

Cameron: 6/10

Not sure how many of you would agree.

[????]

The polls have Cameron winning, Clegg second and...you guessed it

[PeckhamRose]

There's another thread for the performance of the 'leaders'.

Jenny Jones: HA, if she came a-knocking on my door she'd have a shock.

She fought long and hard against the idea that motorcyclists should be allowed to ride in the TfL bus lanes.

Boris had said he would do this, as part of his manifesto, and by heck he actually did it! And there has been no carnage. When J Jones was banging on about why not, I emailed her and asked her what her problem was, she replied (and I kept the email): "bikers are scary for us". Very scientific reason there, then.

I think I have to vote Labour, even though i hate their biometric ID card thing.

They're more right wing in some ways than Cameron who has said he'd get rid of the idea (for now!) of biometric ID cards.

Ho hum. I need to change my doorbell sound to that of a Ducati Monster with bad exhaust pipes starting up. That'll scare those Greens off.

I think it might take a bit more than that; Caroline Lucas and Jenny Jones strike me as two pretty strong-minded and determined women...

I watched it on tape after the football, and I scored it as: -

Brown: 5/10

Clegg: 3/10

Cameron: 7/10

[tonyw3]

Matthew123, quite obviously for you to have scored last night's debate as what you have done means that you had one too many pints watching the football. ;-)

[Ladymuck]

Well, if Matthew had "one too many" previously, he must be positively comatosed right now following Liverpool's 2 nil loss against Chelsea and Man. U's win against Sunderland. Poor soul.

*calls the cardiopulmonary resuscitation unit*

[Narnia]

You're joking LM. He's delighted Liverpool lost. Doesn't want MU winning the league.

[Ladymuck]

Yes but we also beat Sunderland...he surely didn't want that!!!
