Sinister: I didn't mean to slag America off, just that ****ing film...

[Robin Stout]

Bollocks to voter apathy. For a lot of people it's not a case of 
dissatisfaction with politics, it's just that they think their time is 
better spent sitting about scratching their bums than walking to the 
nearest school and deciding the future of their country. Even if you 
don't agree with any party, voting is one of the only times when you 
have the chance to stand in a "booth" and get the use that lovely 
word in a family situation, the only time you get to write with a 
genuine "Ballot Pencil" (that felt like 2B to me), and one of the few 
chances you have to go back to your primary school and be 
astounded by the low ceilings without being kicked out for looking 
shifty, like last time. It's better than scratching your bum.

Mind you, I live near Kidderminster so things were a bit more 
exciting for us and our Independent MP, Dr Taylor. My mum has 
become distressingly millitant about the whole hospital thing and 
even stayed awake until half past two in the morning so she could 
scream at the telly when he won.

It's good that Linda doesn't think much of Jonathan David. I agree 
more with David's mad eyed praise, but I think we should have more 
new-single-based arguments. They are fun. Let's have debates. Is 
Jonathan David really Stuart David's wee-free brother? Why does 
Stevie sing in a funny voice? Is the record a cynical attempt to sell 
more bibles? What will happen when Stuart Murdoch's voice 
breaks? Will he announce his intentions to become "the next 
Wogan" like Aled Jones once did? Is this actually a single or an EP? 
Where did I leave my teeth? Oh there they are!

I ate far too many sardines this morning.
