Get naked If she really wants to push the boat out:- .Makes breakfast. Pushing the tinnie when it gets stuck on the mudflats, is really her humble duty? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Marking your voting paper with anything other than a distinct mark for one candidate is classed as a spoilt paper. They are not analysed to see how many wrote "none of the above" or anything else. Quite simply if you can't be bothered to pitch up at the Polling Station then don't complain about the result. I'm well aware about the situation regarding "spoilt" papers not being anyalised but they are counted & eventually may just be noticed. Of course you could always put yourself up for election........... Edited July 7 by GrumpyPenguin 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of a quote from Frazier, possibly paraphrased: "Women use sex to get what they want. Men don't do that, because what they want is sex." 3 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just like to note (for the record) that the Monster Raving Loony Party did quite well this time round, and harvested about 0.6% of the vote. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-uk-election-results/parties/monster-raving-loony-party/ Some might say that if we had a "proper proportional representation" system, with the House of Commons holding 650 MPs, the MRL would now have three or four MPs. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a referendum in 2011 during the Coalition government to change the first-past-the-post system and was to agree an alternative vote system. It was rejected by a two-thirds majority but that was on a 40% turnout .... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Makes sense if the new one is the same make and maybe even model as the old one.
