Reply to: Ken is an alcoholic

Well, good thing I don't live in London. Not that I would have liked if Ken was not there, it's just not the city for me.

London is massive. There are 33 London Boroughs so you could live in an inner city ****hole or in a nice green area like me.

Do you think Boris (not the "bullet dodger" one) will beat him?

Most people decide nearer the election time.

If Boris keeps his nose clean, doesn't offend lots of London's population and actually comes up with some policies that don't alienate them, and doesn't promise to overturn Ken's travel policies then he has a chance..

Ken has been very clever giving free travel to kids - getting the family vote - and promising OAPs, who are more likely to vote, seemingly free travel* 24 hours a day.

*Paid for out of the council tax. That tax that takes up lots of OAP's income.

The first time it was to annoy Nu Labour. Red Ken was kicked out of the Nu Labour party cos Nu Labour wanted someone under their thumb- Frank Dobson - to stand.

Do you think Boris (not the "bullet dodger" one) will beat him? The fact that Ken drinks is beyond the point (unless it affects his work) - Churchill indeed drunk and smoked, but he was a great man who would not cuddle up with Chaves piece of crap as well as other scumbag politicians from 3rd world countries.

Did not have an opinion on Ken until recent couple of years - anyone who is a buddy of Chaves can't be a decent person. CIA should have given him permanent vacation spot on Cuba that he loves so much. Not sure why the heck Londoners elect this ****.

The next time I don't have a clue......may be because the rest of the candidates where boring or more crooked.

Churchill was notorious drinker - now greatest ever Britain...

Briton

[KathyWoolfe]

woman to churchill -you are drunk
reply - you are ugly but I will be sober tomorrow

The woman was reputedly Lady Astor with whom Churchill had a more or less continuous feud

I get to vote in the London Mayoral election. I wasnt going to bother... but now I am going to vote for whomever has the best chance of beating Livingstone.

Who is that.. the bumbling blonde guy.. or the person who is always just the 'other one'

Chillax (sick with a not so silent k), it's only a matter of time before there's a government funded study suggesting it's healthier to put whisky on your cornflakes than milk.

I'm in the process of seeking funding for such a study. I'll only do single malts though.

Kennedy
Churchil
and Hitler

Would be my best guess.

[Cowboy Bob]

C is Hitler.

BTW, Hugo Chavez is not a dictator. He may be a bit left wing for some tastes, but he is democratically elected.

So, you have to choose a candidate for public office, which one of the following?

Candidate A: Associates with crooked politicians. Consults with astrologists. He's had two Mistresses. He chain smokes. Drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B: Was kicked out of office twice. Sleeps until noon. Used opium in college. Drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C: He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian. Doesn't smoke. Drinks an occasional beer. Never cheated on his wife.

was one of them hitler? or was that the mother abortion thing?

Big H question.

Are you comparing Ken to Churchill?

eh? of course I am not. I am just saying that drinking and ability to govern MIGHT be unrelated.

How is your psycho course going?
