Ask him for a game. To level things out, you could play in the dark. I played a Tory MP on the train from Edinburgh to London a few years ago. He lost horribly, of course, but I did get to sit in 1st Class for a few hours... and he bought all the drinks!! 🙂
Originally posted by MarinkatombI'd ask that Lembit Öpik for a game, but I gather he's got his hands full just at present...

Originally posted by Bad wolfProbably too late now, but: ask him if he has more balls than anyone in the party, and if so, is he going to dare stand against Gordo Brown-nose?
Next Thursday.
🙂
Anyone want me to ask him any questions for you?
I was thinking: 'How's the secretary?' lol. 😀

He said that Gordan would be PM, certainly, if you've seen the new recently you'll notice that no one is standing against Gordan anyway.

Originally posted by Bad wolfBecause nobody in the New Labour a.k.a. New Tory party has any balls. Not Blunkie, not anybody else. Nobody wants to stand against Gordo and be defeated, and nobody but Gordo wants to stand against Cameron (who is no better, but that aside) and be humiliated.

I predict that your next New Labour prime monster is going to be Reid, but not after the next election.

Originally posted by Shallow BlueI don't think so - like David Blunkett, he's a leader-in-waiting in his own mind only. I agree with you about Cameron, though: I think he's much closer to being the Conservative Party's Neil Kinnock than its Tony Blair. If he fails to win or is out-manoeuvred in a hung parliament (and that's on the cards - Menzies Campbell and Gordon Brown used to be pretty close), they'll ditch him faster than a dose of the clap.

Originally posted by Shallow BlueActually I think some MPs were trying to stand against Brown, it's just that they didn't get enough support from their fellow MPs, I think you needed 40 -something MPs to support for you to enter a leadership contest; less than this and you just wouldn't be allowed.

Saying that nobody has any balls to stand against Brown is nonsense.
