Disappointment as AGM doesn't coincide with Scotland playing in 6 Nations

Two posts in a row without any visual stimulation??? There shall be no hat-trick for the texties on my watch!!!

Be there or be compost
For anyone new to Presidential re-elections (HX AGM's), here is a photo of last years stitch-up. The Green Room seldom looks this good. Although there is nothing at all sinister in these jovial gatherings, Messrs Astley & Dannreuther have not been heard from since when they were rumoured to have 'apologised' for their non-attendance and 'left' the club.

El Presidente may come across as a happy-go-lucky, port swilling, be-bearded, gardening teddy bear, but the evil capitalist oinker that he has tried to stuff deep back inside can rear it's ugly head without any warning. It is my understanding that poor Roland (who survived a brush with Patsy Putin) is pushing up the begonia's in Shifty's new town allotment whilst The Good Doctor gets a monthly rotate in the Presidential Compost Heap.

Dearest Leader ever
Those previous Presidential Elections results in full:
(Candidates ~ share of vote)


2008
E Presidente ~ 106% (record share topped up with postal votes)
S Russell ~ 2% (dispatched East to Siberiapans)


2009
E Presidente ~ 112% (record share of the vote as popularity rises)
D Craig ~ 0% (banned from the club sine die)



2010
E Presidente ~ 107% (obviously thought 2009 winning margin may be viewed as suspicious)
S Saunders ~ -3% (told to go away, but likely to turn up out of the blue at any time)



2011
E Presidente ~ 118% (record breaking share of the vote)
M Din ~ 3% (greatest ever runner up score, but record margin of defeat to boot)

Arbo to host 4th election debate.


In a shock development, the broadcasters have responded to the SNP’s legal action by agreeing to a fourth debate, involving the SNP, as well as representatives from some fringe parties. It will be hosted in Edinburgh in front of an audience of mildly inebriated amateur sportsmen.

Broadcast on Channel 4, SC4, Radio 4 and Radio Forth.

Representing the parties will be:

Labour

JLR Brown

Conservatives
Mr Admin
Broonster

Liberal Democrats

Rob Bainbridge
(well, I’ve no idea about their politics but they’re young, popular and are well known for their ******** exploits … and they’re certainly capable of designing a new voting system that no one else will understand.)

Anarcho-Syndicalist League/ String up the Bankers Now!
