[ajdown]

I've got election leaflets to deliver

Why? We had a letter yesterday with information on all the candidates so I've got all the information I feel I need to be able to vote appropriately.

parties also like to provide their own information to increase their chances of election. what a strange question.

Someone delivered a leaflet to your home yesterday which you found informative and now you're asking why someone would deliver leaflets to other homes which some others might find informative?

I'd stick to worrying about whether your Tesco home deliverly will be on time, if I were you.

 

[ajdown]

Don't use Tesco any more, upgraded to Ocado.

 

[London_Calling]

Did they have a better leaflet?

 

[Rushy]

Here's hoping the leaflets are communicating what the respective candidates have to offer rather than the usual "look how crap everyone else is so vote for me" we seem to get inundated with during elections.

The general election campaigning was dreadfully negative and spiteful by all, but the Lib Dems in particular.

 

[Orang Utan]

what party are you leafleting for L_C?

 

[Orang Utan]

we've only had Boris leaflets in HH BTW, unless my flatmate is chucking them in the recycling. I confess that's what I'd do too.

Not negative that I've seen.

 

[London_Calling]

what party are you leafleting for L_C?

You offering to help - all off Railton Road?

 

[Orang Utan]

You offering to help - all off Railton Road?

no way! i have no affinity for any of them

 

[London_Calling]

Well, here's your opportunity.

Plus; fresh air, healthy exercise, interacting with the community - all for no charge.

 

[nagapie]

Has the water main on Brixton Hill burst yet?

 

[Orang Utan]

Well, here's your opportunity.

yes, but for who? lab? con? lib? soc? gr? eng dem? who?

 

[London_Calling]

Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.

 

[EastEnder]

Letting Orang Utan interact with the community is probably not the best way to go about getting more votes...

 

[quimcunx]

I think you should go, OU! You can put it on your CV.

 

[London_Calling]

Done! Outside the Temple Of Doom Truth tomorrow at noon. Bring an anarak.

 

[Orang Utan]

OK, but I need to know the party I'm canvassing for, so I can prepare the correct line of bullshit

 

[London_Calling]

It's a deal!

 

[Onket]

I'm doing TUSC in Peckham if you'd prefer that to whatever L_C is peddling.

 

[editor]

'nuff rain going down.

 

[Badgers]

Only another 5-10 days of rain luckily

 

[editor]

I like rain, so I'm cool with that.

 

[Greebo]

Has the water main on Brixton Hill burst yet?

Don't know, but according to the OU invigilator (who was over half an hour late because of it) part of central Brixton was blocked by flooding. He was soaked through by the time he eventually got here.

 

[Onket]

Orang Utan has his own invigilator?
