Re: Conservative candidate named.

Step one was a useful tip.

Make sure they answer the phone, before going on with the scripted spiel.

By the way I know he doesn't do questions but, andrew, why are you planning to sit on your backside and not get out there meeting the people on Kb's behalf?

Could it be that if she can't be bothered why should you?

P.S. If you do happen upon the page with my 'phone number on it save yourself the price of a call you will only get the same answer as any other party or business that uses this method of irritating me.

I'm not planning to sit on my backside. Not quite sure why you'd think I would be!

Re: Conservative candidate named.

Well what would you know? I had just pressed submit on my previous post and got a phone call, from my local Labour Party.

We are on the telephone preference service. Tut tut.

I originally thought it was a tele-sales call, wanting to sell me a brand new phone, due to the broken English. Perhaps they're outsourcing it, to avoid TPS.

If for once you aren't exaggerating the truth, then yes, I agree disgraceful, but, knowing your track record, just to get into the mood for Easter, like doubting Thomas I for one, would need to see some proof, if the Messiah's word wasn't good enough for him, your word is no longer good enough for me.

How strange, still on line and yet unlike other days when you think you're on a winner, no immediate reply to put me in my place, if you want I'll ask one of the mod's to put a question mark at the end of the above post then you can ignore it officially.

I'm not really sure how I'd 'prove' that I got a phone call..

I did 1471 it but it was a withheld number! A friend has also had a phone call today. I'm sure Labour could just confirm they're calling people if you really need proof.

My friends call was from somebody that sounded local though, so I doubt they were outsourcing.

It's still Easter Monday, Thomas rules O.K.?????

Come on Jesus baby show us your hand!


It's your 'claim', maybe you're right, I don't know, how many times have you demanded proof, (So far none put forward by the claimant, YOU), even then, you've ignored it when given, haven't you?

Sorry a question, see you tomorrow after your fitful sleep.

One of his little friends has been telephoned by the Conservatives, to try and secure their vote.

Shame you didn't bother to understand Twitter before writing that.

Failed to understand how Twitter works before copy and pasting, though.
