Hard luck andrewb.
 

Andrewb stood for President in Hull University's recent elections, and after a bit of a kerfuffle the results have just been announced.

Sadly he came in a respectable third place.

Well done.

It's not a micky take by the way.

Despite our recent differences I think you'd have been a good President.

Indeed I only unadded myself from your Facebook campaign last Thursday, when I kept getting mail urging me to vote.:D

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

sorry couldn't resist.:D

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

perhaps it was his political outlook that put the voters off.. lets hope he could always follow a different career in comedy... !

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

Is this not a bit harsh? Andrewb is andrewb, passionate about his cause, rightly or wrongly. Think its a shame to be putting posts like this up, taking the mick out of something he obviously aimed for.

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

I agree, there is no need to abuse him for not winning.

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

two interesting posts,as this is anything goes,lets make it into a little game, i reckon one of the posters has had a sarcastic sense of humour bypass, and the other is attempting to stir it. see if you can guess my choices.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

I was being serious for a change. I think some of the posters in this thread are trying to stir it with Andrew due to some of our recent threads.

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

well i just heard this afternoon, that the opposition, pointed people to certain posts on accyweb,:confused: don't if thats Fact or Fiction, cos don't know how credible this person that told me is.:confused:

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

Congralations Andrew...........You came in a position where New Labour hopefully will be at the next General Election. :)

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

Amen to that Roy:D

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

Dream on royboy n jaysay, none of you would put money on that result,i'll warrant.:D

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

On Facebook one of his friends was sad that 'he came last'
three horse race?

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

Hmmm, k so its a 50/50 choice. which would I be? Definately not trying to stir it, which leaves the personality by pass. (***checks for recent scars***), nope, still got that n all.

Now, just so I understand everything, cos would have hated to miss certain rules in the small print, this is a public forum right? One that suceeds where other fails due to the interesting posts, the numerous members, and mainly the fact that people continue tolog on and post. We dont all have the same views, but if we did, it would be a kinda boring forum with 'yes i agree' plastered all over it.

Whilst I understand Andrewb has some pretty strong beliefs, none of us are in doubt of which political stance he holds, is there any bloody need to have a go at him for this? We all complain aboutof youthor today, they need to grow up, be more responsible, stop mugging old ladies, giving birth to kids etc etc etc

They do something which, whilst its not my mug off tea, took him away from the chance of any mugging, or baby making, and voila, he fails, and theres a number of people with boot poised to kick as he goes down.

I got brought up under the 'if you cant say anything nice, say nowt' banner. Its a shame other people didnt

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

He stood in the election as himself, not under the banner of any particular party.

As I said, he came a very respectable third, with the top three candidates getting similarly good counts, out of the six candidates that stood for the sabatical position of Union President.

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

come on.. I think the thread is just a tongue in cheek dig at Andrewb...after all he does make his political stance very clear in posts.. perhaps a personal appearance by Norman Tebbit as he's mentor at the election for president would have helped his chances.

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

And we've never had a President on here before ..:)

Tough call Andrew .. sorry you didn't win. Next time maybe ? All experience.

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

Although he didn't stand under a political party's banner, he has said to me that he hopes one day to become an M.P., so it will have been an invaluable experience.

We can't all be winners.:D

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

Well you never know..he could always run as an independent socialist militant.

Re: Hard luck andrewb.
 

He had a big enough set to give it a go so cant knock him for that.
