no way, you would still get them wrong even if I said them slowly enough for you to repeat!

Well when you can suggest I just said that after I have very OPENLY stated I don't agree with the tory iea of keeping open post offices is absurd, and I think you will fine it very much makes YOU look wrong.

You mentioned earlier the count took place in the table tennis hall at the sports centre.

Did a lady contortionist fire out ping-pong balls at him?

Did anyone capture the alleged assault on camera?

Just done a quick news scan, and there was nothing about him being assaulted, nor was it on the 6 o'clock news.

I'd have thought he'd have made more of a song and dance about it.

Must be that non-partisan mistrust of him that's playing on your judgement.

No, just that as an avid reader of the local press I know he likes to court publicity, especially if as in this alleged case he is the victim, and able to score some Brownie points against his opponents.

Quite disappointing really.

Are we talking a verbal or a physical assault?

I was at the count. I left at 1.30am so unless something happened right at the very end I wasn't aware of it....certainly no fisticuffs anyway.

Wynonie, I can also confirm that I am neither Lynn Wilson or Susan Haworth lol.

Come on Lilly, we were relying on you, as our fly on the counting house wall, to spill the beans.

You've failed the task, and Lilly I'm sorry to have to say this...

but you're fired.

Oh no, don't fire me!

Last year I said there was quite a bit of jeering, taunts and heckling but there was none of that this time so nothing to report on that score. I was pleasantly surprised this time.

There were several candidates who, after nice clean campaigns, shook hands, congratulated each other and stood there getting on and chatting.

That's what we want. Why get all worked up and nasty?

Wynonie Harris · 02-05-2008, 21:17

OK, sorry, Lilly. I definitely had you down as a prospective Conservative candidate. Maybe next time?

shillelagh · 02-05-2008, 23:59

Well at Rossendale a candidate got chucked out of the count. It was an independant that was kicked out.

By the way i didnt go to the count. Was all tucked up in bed after watching the results come in - no way was i going to Bacup for 9.30 this morning. The count should have been held last night.

From what I hear it was physical and the person concerned was bragging about it yesterday, apart from that can't help you

bad taste joke removed

How strange. It must have been right at the end of the night then.

I left at 1.30am and several people had already left before, there weren't that many people left in the hall.

I'm sure we'll find out what went on soon. I hope he's ok.
