Hard Times A-Knockin'

Well here it is Sunday and I had a rat-ta-tat-tatting upon my Plastic door.
I opened it to find a Political Campaigner wishing to secure my vote, I was tempted at first to ask if he had walked down the wrong street after all I know it's daylight but we don't get many Politicians down our way.

Then it was revealed to me that he was with the Labour Candidate Graham Jones.
We passed a few moments discussing the local area his Competition and then we got on to the subject of accyweb, another few amusing moments were passed then graham asked, "and what's your user name?", on replying Less I have never seen anyones colour drain so quickly as he exited stage left.

Actually he showed a great deal of tolerance and steely nerve as without a skip in his conversation he carried on talking to me as if I was a normal human being, thanks for the visit graham, I wonder if the opposition, (if it exists), will likewise grace my doorstep with their presence and be willing to spend time talking about what the area needs and what is required from Government to improve it's lot?

I was reminded of the Beatles song With the line 10,000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire, that's a lot of holes, but you have 43,000 households you hope to visit, that is some quest, still now I'm out of the way, only 42,999 left to go.

Good luck with the rest of your Campaign.



Is this the sort of thing you see when
You close your eyes at night?

You're so boring!

You should have slipped a tea-towel round your head, tied it like a headscarf, and told him you were the faux Marlene, writer of political missives, and you'd rather keep your Accy Web usernmame secret, thank you very much for asking, you nosey young man.

For added drama, just before announcing this, you could have performed a little faux cough.

It's Sunday, not only Sunday, but Easter Sunday, everywhere is closed, if I needed a dummy to spit out where could I find one at short notice?

I am sure you would have found a shop open selling Halal Certified Pacifiers (Dummys) in the Hyndburn area

I wouldn't have wanted to compromise his position, that could have been construed by our over-sensitive Tories as a contribution to his Campaign Funds.

You got Graham to talk about something other than Politics?

Must be an interesting subject that takes his mind off the ball.

'The time has come,' the Walrus said,
'To talk of many things:
Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing wax --
Of cabbages -- and kings --
And why the sea is boiling hot --
And whether pigs have wings.'
