???? Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 There's a story in the press (must be true surely?) that Gordon Brown has been personally phoning up people who have written to him.......if he called you, what would you say to him?

HonaloochieB Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'd say "F*ck off Culshaw, I'm busy, and do some work on the accent".

Mrs Y Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'd say you may not remember me, but we met recently at the London Academy school in Bermondsey, and you still need to sort this school out and many others around the country!!!!!

CamberwellOz Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Sing... 'Golden brown' by The Stranglers. Every time they mention his name. I can't help it.

bon3yard Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Yeah, then we could lock him in the cellar and get him hooked on Heroin(finer temptress) like Gene Hackmans character in French Connection II, then we could get Kathy Bates to Hobble him, then..then..then we could get Hannibal Lecter to eat his liver with some fava beans and a little Chianti(although what with him being a dour presbyterian Scot, maybe Irn-Bru would suffice)...oh,what would you 'say' to him...f**k off Jock or something.

Ondine Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Wouldn't you just go into call centre mode and sell him some stuff? The guy's on his knees - I reckon he'd buy a mobile phone, a trip to Disneyland and agree to take part in future research on London governance.

RosieH Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I'd tell him chin up, stick to your principles (that's why i love you) smile more and perhaps wheel out the missus - in this age of personality politics you've got to play the game Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3409-what-would-you-do-if-gordon-brown-phoned-you/#findComment-106616 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dulwichmum Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I would invite him over with his brood for a play date. He really is a dream boat.I should like to kiss him on the nose, he is incredibly manly.

bon3yard Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I dont think the Scots would take to kindly to a Sassenach becoming Scotlands first minister, especially not a toff like Cameron(Scottish surname though methinks).

HonaloochieB Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Or I think I'd ask him to hold the line and then go off and find my 'Mr T' talking keyring and play various of the good man's phrases down the 'phone to him. It's good inasmuch as whenn the button is hit repeatedly it has the same effect as 'scratching' a record. 'IIIII piiiity ttttttthhheeee foooool' and so on.Nothing to do with politics, or whether I think he might be a good PM but just the way I treat cold callers.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I think playing Mr Thatcher down the 'phone to Gordon is a bit cruel.

Moos Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'd ask him why he wanted it so much, if he's now so hell-bent on throwing it away.I'd also ask him why when the country spoke pretty much en masse in 1997 and said yes, we'd like change please, we want a properly equipped NHS and better schools and we're prepared to pay for them, they didn't manage to deliver. Big ask I know, but that's what governments are for.

Cassius Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Apparently he rang someone at 6.00am - then I'd say 'Do you what f***ing time it is?'
