Cabal

[jackthehat]

I think that we ought to get the commitee elected. I'm not entirely sure of the positions we should offer.

So suggestions please for the actual postions and then once we have that sorted I think that we should ask for nominations and a short explanation of the suitability of the candidates.

[jackthehat]

I hate to be a pedant........but I think we should be a little more formal about this, Doc.
I agree that we should have;
President (candidates yet to be confirmed)
Psychiatrist (one self-nomination, received)
Public Relations Offcier (candidates yet to be confirmed)

Naturally, the position of Tea-PERSON will be hotly contested, what with having the key to the biscuit tin, etc.

I think we can safely let the whipping-PERSONS nominate and elect themselves.

What other positions should there be in this important society ?

I will be at the back.........in my hat.

[coco pops]

can i be the fly on the wall.

[jackthehat]

Only if you can come up with a more formal title.........

err.....Member Responsible for Listening In......or something similar.......

no...hang on.......you could be Head of the intelligence gathering services.......what with your ability to hang on walls and listen in......

Now just a cotton-pickin' minute Doctor Spock!! I know you have many aliases on Answerbank, but one of them wouldn't be Mani would it? Naomi for Tea Lady! Huh! The only woman on the list at the moment and immediately she's designated the Tea Lady's job! Mmmmm .... hang on .... the key to the biscuit tin? ...... Mmmmm .... not such a bad idea perhaps.

We need a secretary too - and I propose Luna for Chairman because he's good natured, calm and he always puts a quirky slant on everything - and this Cabal will be nothing if not quirky!!

[naomi24]

Sorry, coco, I was typing when your answer went in, so was the only woman at that time. Fly on the wall's not a bad idea, as long as you don't buzz around the biscuits.

[jackthehat]

Ok.........so now we're getting somewhere......

Main Committee;

President
Vice-president
Psychiatrist
Public Relations Officer
Head of Intelligence Gathering Services,
I feel that there must be some positions not mentioned yet;

sub-committee (but possibly more important)

Tea-person
Nurse (non-gender specific)
Bar-person
Catering Manager
Entertainments Manager
Spiritual Advisor

All adversaries will be self-nominated and abused according to the unanimous decisions and in the manner specified by the duly elected committee.

Order! Order!

[naomi24]

We need a secretary. Not an enviable position bearing in mind the content of the minutes of the meetings!

[coco pops]

I promise not to buzzzzzz the biscuits!

[jackthehat]

CoCo, We'd better not get any Garibaldis in then.........think of the confusion !

[naomi24]

Good thinking - I'm confused enough!

[jackthehat]

Righto,

Can we now have nominations with a short supporting explanation.........

[coco pops]

No Garibaldis and will someone please make sure the room doesn't
have one of those blue fly zappers switched on!!!

[luna-tic]

Sorry good people,can you put my Chairman position on hold for the moment........I'm busy helping Yoda with his spelling.
:0)

[jackthehat]

Should we compose a 'mission statement' or a manifesto, or whatever ?

"We the undersigned shall not rest until every single one of the fatuous claims made by the god-botherers has been roundly and soundly dismissed........."

or something similar.
