For The Sake Of Tradition And Remembrance Of Mikey.......

I'd almost forgotten about EC but Mikey always quoted the EC site especially when Labour were ahead, so I feel he would have appreciated me doing it when the Tories are ahead. He would have loved this whole time in politics.

Haha - Brexit Party 3.6% = 0 seats. SNP 3.6% = 41 seats.

Seems pretty fair to me (not).

Really miss Mikey.

[emmie]

miss him as well, we were all sparring partners, but he was a well liked and well mannered man.

[naomi24]

I can't agree with that, emmie. He was incredibly ill-mannered when it suited him - but I liked him nonetheless. He kept the place lively.

[emmie]

not sure i agree but he was well liked.

[naomi24]

Perhaps I disagreed with him more often than you did, emmie. Yes, he was well liked. I liked him too.

09.09 If you can't say anything good about a deceased person it's best not to say anything at all.

[emmie]

did you know him, ^^

[naomi24]

Gulliver, I have said something good about him. Try again.

[Deskdiary]

The fundamental difference between Mikey and the current two most active Labour supporters (Gulliver and Diddlydo), is that Mikey was able to argue his position, provide a robust defence, provide a robust attack with reasons why etc...whereas Gulliver and Diddlydo can do none of those things.

[emmie]

DD totally agree

Where is jake-the- peg , when you need him , eh ?

[ladybirder]

I agree Mikey was certainly a lively member of this site and I would love to have heard his take on the happenings of the last few years. We had a few conversations about our shared a love of opera. But he could be very sniffy about shop girls and would tell how he put them in their place which didn't put him in a good light. Funny the bits you remember.

Mikey sometimes got on my nerves, like I'm sure I got on his at times, but he kept things lively and that's what I like most about AB, it's too boring without the feisty ones imo. The BA says it all and yes, I miss him. He would have been in his absolute element now ..

[jourdain2]

Mikey always felt like a friendly, determined holder of his p.o.v.. I did like him a lot and I still miss him.

[wolf63]

Mickey and his wee Willie xx

[wolf63]

Or should it be Willy?

[naomi24]

//He would have been in his absolute element now .. //

Well, he'd have continued to fight Labour's corner at least - although I don't know why. Mikey 'aspired' - and that's not something Jeremy & Co would approve of.

I've said it before so I won't bother saying it again.
