Was it Dorothy Parker who said, "You can take a w.h.o.r.e to culture but you can't make her think."

[Hopkirk]

So a city that generally votes Labour didn't vote for a multi millionaire conservative who's Dad was really really rich.

No surprise there really.

lol Hoppy !

( you forgot to add that the Tory Party candidates Dad, founded the Referendum Party, who was a forerunner of UKIP ! )

[Hopkirk]

He was indeed, and sister married cricketer / politician Imran Khan (no relation to Sadeeq).

Far from it.

It was noticed that the automated system wasn't working, so the votes were collated manually.

// A resulting investigation found that the underlying data, the actual numbers of votes in the database, was correct - but the counting software was not reporting it accurately. //

Hoppy....Imran K used to have a flat at Brompton Cross, just around the corner from the Michelin Building and Bibendum. I worked for nearly 2 years in a Telephone Exchange, a few yards away, and used to bump into Imran most mornings, when getting my Guardian....I wonder if he remembers me !

[ToraToraTora]

so you are the one that actually buys the Guardian mikey! They can't give away round here!

[Jackdaw33]

LOL @ TTT.

[mikey4444]

TTT...there are only three delivered to my village every morning, and if I don't get up early enough, then they are gone, and a day without my Guardian is a very bad day for me !

[Jackdaw33]

Don't you have paper boys in your village?

[stuey]

Quite often, reading the discussions in the NEWS topic is akin to perusing Mad Magazine.

// a day without my Guardian is a very bad day for me !\\

Guess you'll just have to use ordinary toilet paper then.

[ToraToraTora]
