Come Back Mick Election Special

Posted by: Dev B on 15 November 2000

Vote for the following:

1. Come back Mick
2. Ban Zorba the dog (who know who you are)

If Mick gets more than, say 30 votes, I'm sending a special envoy to Swindon to get him to reconsider.

Lance,
I hope you are not the one who got confused and wasted and hour trying to press both buttons at the same time because the ballot was too complicated ; )

Music is the answer.

John, even without my reading glasses I was able to negotiate the extreemely intricate voting ballot. I have been collecting older tube audio equipment lately but now I am searching for a great source for collecting vintage CHAD.

Jeremy: ...over to Steve at the count ... Steve?

Steve: Thanks Jeremy. Yes, we have a real nailbiter here. The margin of victory is clear for the "Bring Back Mick" party .. with a spokesman for the Zorba The Dog Party having practically admitted defeat to you, earlier, in the studio. It's clearly a bad day for Greek Canine kind in this constituency. Zorba has not officially conceded defeat yet - but this is expected any moment now.

Jeremy : Steve - what is on peoples minds now?

Steve: The key question is - has the Mick party got enough votes - over 30 - to launch a UN envoy to intercede with the known terrorist leader Mr M Parry and demand he attends talks. It's understood that his "Islay Malt Cocktail" style guerilla fighting is set to continue without intervention unless a popular manadate gives the envoy ligitamacy.

Jeremy: What about the controvercial view expressed in todays "What Hi-Fi" that Mick Parry is, in fact, a combination of hi-tech turing test winner combined with an out of work actor? Is this not redducing support for the Mick party?

Steve: Far from it Jeremy - you must remember that the constituents here are hi-fi nuts who communicate viw the internet - and as such feel much better about relating to what could be an inanimate, non-biologocal interface, rather than a human being. If anything this rumour has increased his popularity.

Jeremy: Yeeeeeeess. I see.

Steve: And if any one of them out there is a 'people person' - who trusts the audio press anyway?

Jeremy: A good point to end on there - thanks Steve. We will have more on developments at the ballot box later in the program.

ALL OF THIS SILLINESS MEANS - WE NEED 4 MORE VOTES TO GET DEV ON HIS "JARROW MARCH" TO SWINDON. DOES ANYONE NEED A LIFT TO THE POLLING STATION??

You now have your mandate.

Aberdeen to Swindon is exactly 500 miles by the quickest route. About 9-10 hours should cover it.

Cheers

But Dev, is it really possible to obtain an Air Canada C.O.D. ticket to bring Special Envoy Vuksanovic from London to Swindon? And will Mick cough up?

Jonathan, re "Election Special" - I hear a senior CNN man has retired, I think you deserve it.

Great post, Omer
