Oh well. The important thing is that John’s slot was superb.<br /><br />There’s a successful career out there as a stand-up waiting for you, John. Just get an agent who books you into nice, cosy middle class Arts Centres where people drink elderflower presse in the interval. Don’t do what I did, and perform outdoor comedy walking tours – it’s bad enough enduring an audience heckle you, without the general public, cyclists, reversing lorries, tramps/students and passing celebrities (Thom Yorke from Radiohead being the most impressive) heckling you too. And I was actually fairly competent(ish).Richard O.

You are doing a better job than most journalists at finding the good stories in there!<br /><br />Do you think you could give us a credit next time though? We are just a bunch of volunteers so don't have any money for promotion and would really appreciate it.<br /><br />Hopefully it will be a virtuous circle too - more leaflets = more material.<br /><br />Keep it up,<br /><br />Richard (TheStraightChoice.org)Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815343296612997402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14524408.post-40486493006562376712010-04-15T01:21:15.413+01:002010-04-15T01:21:15.413+01:00You need me to?

Note their leaflet's graph depicting they’re polling twenty times higher than Labour (!) three times higher than the combined entire Tory, Liberal & Labour vote. Plus the age attributed to the child’s drawing.<br /><br />http://www.thestraightchoice.org/full.php?q=1308#l3016<br /><br />The Martin Bell "endorsement" photo was clearly achieved by hanging around a shopping centre until Martin Bell went past on his way to the newsagents, and then snapping him behind a carefully positioned candidate.<br /><br />Deposit-losingly transparent.Richard O.
